体外转染PTEN基因对人结肠癌细胞生长的影响

目的探讨野生型PTEN基因表达对结肠癌细胞体外生长的影响。方法应用脂质体转导技术,将含野生型PTEN基因重组真核表达质粒pBp-PTEN转染Lovo细胞并稳定表达。Western blotting鉴定后,观察Lovo细胞转染前后生长、细胞周期、凋亡的改变。结果转染后细胞生长曲线提示转染组曲线平缓,无明显对数生长期,生长速度较对照组明显降低(P<0.01);细胞周期测定显示转染组细胞G1期比例上升,提示PTEN可能对G1/S期转换点起阻滞作用;转染组细胞凋亡比率增高(P<0.01),尤其是早期凋亡。结论外源性PTEN基因的转染可以抑制结肠癌细胞的体外生长。

In vitro effect of PTEN gene transfection on growth of human colon cancer cell lines

Objective To investigate the in vitro effect of wild-type PTEN gene transfection on the growth of human colon cancer cell lines. Methods With liposome transduction technique,the retrovirus vector pBp-PTEN,which contains wild-type PTEN gene segment and pBabe-puro,was transfected into Lovo,one of the PTEN-deficient human colorectal carcinoma cell lines.After identification by Western blotting,cell growth,cell cycle and apoptosis before and after transfection were studied. Results It was indicated by the cell growth curve that after transfection the curve of the transfection group exhibited a mild tendency with no obvious logarithmic growth phase,and the growth velocity was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.01).It was revealed by cell cycle detection that the percent of G1 phase was increased in the transfection group,indicating a potential block effect on G1/S phase transition point brought about by PTEN.Besides,apoptosis rate was higher in the transfection group(P<0.01),especially for the apoptosis of early stage.Conclusion Exogenous PTEN gene transfection may inhibit the growth of human colon cancer cell lines in vitro.
