摘要: 【摘要】 目的 研究全反式维A酸(ATRA)对人恶性黑素瘤A375细胞中上皮-间质转化(EMT)相关分子表达的影响。方法 用含10 μmol/L ATRA的DMEM培养基和DMEM培养基分别处理A375细胞24和48 h作为ATRA-1组和ATRA-2组、对照1组和对照2组,采用实时定量PCR法检测EMT相关基因上皮钙黏着蛋白、神经钙黏着蛋白、波形蛋白、β联蛋白mRNA的表达。Western印迹法检测ATRA-1组、ATRA-2组、对照1组中上述蛋白的相对表达量,直接免疫荧光法检测上皮钙黏着蛋白和波形蛋白的荧光强度。统计分析采用两因素方差分析、单因素方差分析及LSD-t检验。结果 ATRA-1组和ATRA-2组分别与对照1组和对照2组相比,上皮钙黏着蛋白mRNA的表达均显著增加(F = 13.148、31.529,P < 0.05),而神经钙黏着蛋白、波形蛋白、β联蛋白mRNA的表达均显著降低(均P < 0.05);ATRA-2组上皮钙黏着蛋白mRNA的表达显著高于ATRA-1组(F = 13.148,P < 0.05),而其他3种蛋白mRNA的表达显著低于ATRA-1组(均P < 0.05);对照1组与对照2组上述蛋白的mRNA表达差异无统计学意义(均P > 0.05)。Western印迹法显示,与对照1组相比,ATRA-1组和ATRA-2组上皮钙黏着蛋白表达上调,而神经钙黏着蛋白、波形蛋白、β联蛋白表达均下调(均P < 0.05);与ATRA-1组相比,ATRA-2组上皮钙黏着蛋白表达上调(P < 0.05),神经钙黏着蛋白、波形蛋白、β联蛋白表达下调(均P < 0.05)。直接免疫荧光显示,ATRA-1组、ATRA-2组上皮钙黏着蛋白的荧光强度(6.23 ± 0.08、10.37 ± 0.13)显著高于对照1组(2.37 ± 0.14,均P < 0.05),而波形蛋白的荧光强度(15.17 ± 0.18、10.29 ± 0.03)显著低于对照1组(50.16 ± 0.26,均P < 0.05),抑制上皮向间质转化。结论 ATRA可上调A375细胞中上皮钙黏着蛋白的表达,降低神经钙黏着蛋白、波形蛋白、β联蛋白的表达,可能抑制A375细胞发生EMT现象。

Abstract: 【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related molecules in human malignant melanoma A375 cells. Methods Cultured A375 cells were divided into 4 groups: control-1 and -2 groups treated with Dulbecco′s modified Eagle medium (DMEM) for 24 and 48 hours respectively, and ATRA-1 and ATRA-2 groups treated with DMEM containing 10 μmol/L ATRA for 24 and 48 hours respectively. After the treatment, real-time quantitative PCR was performed to determine the mRNA expression of EMT-related genes E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and β-catenin in the above 4 groups, Western blot analysis to determine the relative expression of the above proteins, and direct immunofluorescence study to assess the fluorescence intensity of E-cadherin and vimentin in the ATRA-1, ATRA-2 and control-1 groups. Statistical analysis was carried out by using two-way analysis of variance, one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference-t test. Results Real-time quantitative PCR showed that the E-cadherin mRNA expression was significantly higher in the ATRA-1 group than in the control -1 group (F = 13.148, P < 0.05), and higher in the ATRA-2 group than in the control-2 group (F = 31.529, P < 0.05); the mRNA expression of N-cadherin, vimentin and β-catenin was significantly lower in the ATRA-1 group than in the control-1 group (P < 0.05), and lower in the ATRA-2 group than in the control-2 group (P < 0.05); the ATRA-2 group showed significantly increased mRNA expression of E-cadherin (F = 13.148, P < 0.05), but significantly decreased mRNA expression of the other 3 proteins compared with the ATRA-1 group (all P < 0.05); there was no significant difference in the mRNA expression of the above molecules between the control-1 and -2 groups (all P > 0.05). Western blot analysis showed that the protein expression of E-cadherin significantly increased, but the protein expression of N-cadherin, vimentin and β-catenin significantly decreased in the ATRA-1 and ATRA-2 groups compared with the control-1 group (all P < 0.05); compared with the ATRA-1 group, the ATRA-2 group showed significantly increased protein expression of E-cadherin (P < 0.05), but significantly decreased protein expression of N-cadherin, vimentin and β-catenin (all P < 0.05). Direct immunofluorescence study showed that the fluorescence intensity of E-cadherin was significantly higher in the ATRA-1 group and ATRA-2 group (6.23 ± 0.08, 10.37 ± 0.13, respectively) than in the control-1 group (2.37 ± 0.14, both P < 0.05), while the fluorescence intensity of vimentin was significantly lower in the ATRA-1 group and ATRA-2 group (15.17 ± 0.18, 10.29 ± 0.03, respectively) than in the control-1 group (50.16 ± 0.26, both P < 0.05), and the cells in the ATRA-1 group and ATRA-2 group transformed from spindle- to cobble-stone-like in shape. Conclusion ATRA can up-regulate the expression of E-cadherin, down-regulate the expression of N-cadherin, vimentin and β-catenin in A375 cells, and may inhibit the EMT of A375 cells.
