摘要: 目的 研究转化生长因子β(TGF-β)对人表皮鳞状细胞癌A431细胞上皮向间质转换(EMT)相关分子表达的影响。 方法 用含7.5 μg/L TGF-β处理A431细胞72 h后观察细胞形态,采用实时定量PCR和Western印迹分别在mRNA水平和蛋白水平检测EMT相关基因E钙黏着蛋白、N钙黏着蛋白、波形蛋白、β联蛋白表达水平的变化。未经TGF-β处理的A431细胞为对照组。 结果 TGF-β处理后,A431细胞独立分散,呈梭形。实时定量PCR结果显示,E钙黏着蛋白表达量为未经TGF-β处理组的31.7%,N钙黏着蛋白、波形蛋白、β联蛋白表达量分别为未经处理组的2.475、11.340、2.615倍;Western印迹结果,N钙黏着蛋白、波形蛋白、β联蛋白表达量上升,E钙黏着蛋白表达量下降。 结论 TGF-β可诱导A431细胞产生EMT现象,TGF-β表达量上升,可能参与表皮鳞状细胞癌发生侵袭、转移。

Abstract: Guo Yuanyuan, Peng Bin, Xiang Guiqiong, Geng Songmei.

Methods Cultured A431 cells were classified into two groups: TGF-β group treated with TGF-β of 7.5 μg/L for 72 hours, and control group remaining untreated. Subsequently, cell morphology was observed under an inverted microscope, and real time-PCR and Western blot were performed to quantify the mRNA and protein expressions of EMT-related molecules including E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and β-catenin respectively. Results After TGF-β treatment, the cells became dispersed and spindle in shape. The mRNA expression levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, and β-catenin in TGF-β group were 0.317, 2.475, 11.340 and 2.615 folds those in the control group respectively. Western blot showed a marked increase in the expression of N-cadherin, vimentin, and β-catenin proteins but a notable decrease in that of E-cadherin in the TGF-β group compared with the control group. Conclusions TGF-β can induce EMT in A431 cells, and increased expression of TGF-β may contribute to the invasion and metastasis of SCC.
