三苯氧胺诱导人乳腺癌MCF-7细胞株耐药及自噬的关系研究

背景与目的:三苯氧胺(tamoxifen)作为第一代选择性雌激素受体调节剂(selective estrogen receptor modulator,SERM)被广泛地应用于激素敏感型乳腺癌的内分泌一线治疗。三苯氧胺耐药的发生严重限制了临床治疗,是乳腺癌患者用药面临的重大难题,明确其耐药机制对乳腺癌的治疗有重要临床意义。本研究通过体外诱导人乳腺癌细胞MCF-7三苯氧胺耐药,探讨细胞产生三苯氧胺耐药时自噬水平的变化与MAPK家族蛋白细胞外信号调节激酶(extracellular signal-regulated kinase,ERK)蛋白表达量及磷酸化水平的变化。方法:浓度递增筛选法诱导MCF-7细胞耐药,透射电镜观察MCF-7细胞与耐药细胞内的自噬泡数量,CCK8法检测细胞增殖状态,应用Western blot检测LC3Ⅱ、ERK1/2、Phospho-ERK1/2蛋白的表达情况。结果:诱导的三苯氧胺耐药细胞株TR5达到5μmol/L的耐药浓度。TR5细胞内的自噬泡数量与LC3Ⅱ表达量明显高于MCF-7细胞。ERK蛋白在两种细胞中的表达量差异无统计学意义,但其在TR5中的磷酸化水平比MCF-7细胞高。结论:...

Studies on resistant induction of breast cancer cell MCF-7 to tamoxifen in vitro

Background and purpose:Tamoxifen(TAM),the pioneering selective estrogen receptor modulator(SERM),which blocks estrogen action by binding to the ER in breast cancers,has been used ubiquitously for endocrine therapy for the hormone-sensitive breast cancer.Intrinsic and acquired resistance to TAM limits the clinical use of TAM to a narrow therapeutic window and they are big challenges to the drug therapy for breast cancer patients.Better understanding of the TAM resistant mechanisms is therefore of considerabl...
