AP-2α基因转染对人类结肠癌SW480细胞体外增生及侵袭能力的影响

目的 探讨AP-2α基因对人类结肠癌SW480细胞体外增生及侵袭能力的影响.方法 构建PODNA3.1(+)-AP-2α真核表达载体,利用脂质体介导pcDNA3.1(+)-AP-2α和pcDNA3.1(+)转染5W480细胞,并以正常SW480细胞作为空白对照;采用RT-PCR与Western blotting分别检测转染48 h后各组细胞中AP-2αmRNA与蛋白的表达情况;采用平板克隆、软琼脂克隆形成试验以及Transweil侵袭试验,分别检测各组细胞体外增生及侵袭能力.结果 SW480细胞内源性AP-2α蛋白表达缺失;转染AP-2α基因后,在SW480细胞中可检测到高水平的AP-2αmRNA及蛋白,细胞克隆形成率降低(P<0.05),软琼脂克隆体积小且数量少,细胞侵袭能力下降(P<0.05).结论 转染AP-2α基因可以抑制人类结肠癌SW480细胞的体外恶性增生以及侵袭能力.

Effect of AP-2α gene transfection on proliferation and invasion potential of human colon cancer SW480 cells in vitro

Objective To evaluate the proliferation and invasion potential of human colon cancer SW480 cells transfected by AP-2α gene in vitro. Methods pcDNA3.1 (+)-AP-2α was created by cloning AP-2α eDNA into the EcoRI site of poDNA3.1 (+). LipofectamineTM 2000 Reagent was used to mediate the transfection of pcDNA3.1(+)-AP-2α and pcDNA3.1 (+), and normal SW480 celia were cultured as a negative control. The mRNA and protein level of AP-2α in the cells of each group were detected 48 h after being transfected with plasmids above by RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis. The cell proliferation and invasion potential were examined by colony formation assay and Transwell invasion assay respectively. Results Lack of AP-2α protein expression in SW480 cells was verified by western blot analysis. After being transfected with AP-2α gene, the mRNA amount and protein expression increased dramatically, while the colony formation efficiency decreased(P <0.05), the cell proliferation in soft agar was inhibited, and the ability of its invasion dropped off(P <0.05) in vitro. Conclusion AP-2α gene suppresses the proliferation and invasion potential of human colon cancer SW480 cells in vitro.
