人锌指蛋白23在原发性肝细胞肝癌中的表达及临床意义

Objective To detect the expression level of human zinc finger 23 (ZNF23) in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue samples and HepG2 cell lines and investigate the relationship between hZNF23 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of HCC and cell apoptosis. Methods The expression levels of hZNF23 and GAPDH mRNA in 37 cases of HCC were measured by real-time RT-PCR. The association between the expression of hZNF23 and the clinicopathological characteristics of HCC was analyzed. Cultured HepG2 cells were divided into 4 groups ( control group, 1.25 μg/ml , 2.5 μg/ml and 5 μg/ml cisplatin)or 6 groups( control group, 1.25 μg/ml, 2.5 μg/ml, 5 μg/ml, 10 μg/ml and 20 μg/ml cisplatin). MTT method was employed to evaluate cell proliferation. Annexin V-FITC assay was used to assess percentage of apoptotic HepG2 cells. The expression levels of hZNF23 and GAPDH mRNA of HepG2 cells after apoptosis induced by cisplatin with a series of concentrations were measured by real-time RT-PCR.Results The median ( quartile1, quartile 3) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in 37 HCC tissue samples and adjacent tissue samples were 8.84 (3.59-15.05), 22.20 ( 13.85-42.90 ), respectively. There was significant difference ( U = 259.5, P ＜ 0.01 ). The median ( quartile1, quartile 3 ) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in cancer tissue samples with Edmondson stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ [12.80(4.80-19.50)] was much higher than those in stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ [5.01 ( 2.88-11.68 ), U = 99.00, P ＜ 0.05] The median ( quartile1,quartile 3 ) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in patients with and without hepatic cirrhosis were 9.92(3.80-15.25) , 3.21 (2.78-3.60), respectively. The median ( quartile1, quartile 3 ) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in HBV infection and non-infection patients was 9.09(3.72-15.25 ), 2.48 (1.79-12.10),respectively. There was no significant difference between groups with and without hepatic cirrhosis and between HBV infection and non-infection groups( U = 16. 00 and 24.00, P ＞0.05 ). MTT assay indicated that cisplatin significantly inhibited HepG2 cells proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Annexin V-FITC/PI assay showed that HepG2 cells apoptosis rates were (0.9 ± 0.2 ) %, ( 4. 2 ± 0.3 ) %, ( 9.8 ± 4. 3 ) %,(23.0 ± 6.0)%, respectively. Cisplatin significantly induced HepG2 cells apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner( F = 27.89, P ＜ 0.01 ). The expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in cisplatin groups [( 10.39 ±3.08) × 10-5, (24.10 ± 2.09) × 10-5, (6.90 ± 2.24) × 10-4] were significantly lower than that of the controlgroup[(94.80±1.80) ×10-5, F=6.027, P＜0.01]. Conclusions The expression level hZNF23 mRNA is related to Edmondson stage of HCC. The apoptosis effect of cisplatin on HepG2 cells may be associated with the upregulation of hZNF23.

超声联合微泡对不同细胞周期血管平滑肌细胞增殖和凋亡的影响

Objective To investigate the effect of microbubbles mediated ultrasound insonation on proliferation and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in different phase of cell cycle. Methods Rat thoracic aortic VSMCs were cultured in vitro by the method of tissue adherence. The cells were synchronized by the methods of serum starvation and double thymidine block. The synchronization results were detected by flow eytometer. VSMCs in different phases of cell cycle were exposed to 1 MHz continuous waves ultrasound for 120 s at intensity 0.3 W/cm2 in the presence of lipid-coated microbubbles (1 ml/L). Apoptosis of VSMCs was analyzed by AnnexinV/PI staining using flow eytometry. The proliferation and the proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) protein expression of VSMCs were detected by MTT assay and immunoeytochemistry, respectively. Results The synchronized G0/G1 and S phase VSMCs were achieved, with synchronized rates to 89.53 % and 66.87 %, respectively. Ultrasound sonication for 120 s with microbubbles could significantly inhibit the proliferation and downregulate the PCNA expression of S phase VSMCs,but the proliferation and PCNA expression of G0/G1 phase VSMCs were not affected. After treatment of ultrasound with microbubbles, the apoptotic ratio were found to reach (7.05 ± 2.04)% in G0/G1 phase VSMCs and (27.01 ±3.87)% in S phase VSMCs. Conclusions Microbubbles mediated ultrasound insonation can significantly inhabit the proliferation and induce apoptosis in VSMCs at proliferation stage.
