Src介导ERK信号通路对宫颈癌细胞增殖凋亡的作用

目的 探讨Src介导ERK信号通路对宫颈癌细胞增殖凋亡的作用。方法 采用体外细胞实验方法，以宫颈癌细胞Hela（HPV阳性）和C33A（HPV阴性）为研究对象，施加Src激酶选择性抑制剂（PP2）对Src激酶进行抑制。于抑制前后采用流式细胞术（FCM）检测各组细胞的周期及凋亡情况，分别采用Real-time PCR法和Western-blot法检测各组细胞ERK 1/2、c-Fos和c-Jun的mRNA和蛋白表达水平。应用SPSS 20.0软件进行数据录入和分析。结果 Src抑制后，Hela和C33A细胞均显示增殖指数降低，凋亡率升高，处于G0/G1期细胞比例升高，S期和G2/M期细胞比例降低，ERK 1、ERK 2、c-Fos和c-Jun的mRNA含量升高，ERK 1/2、磷酸化ERK 1/2（p-ERK 1/2）和磷酸化c-Fos（p-c-Fos）蛋白表达水平降低，c-Jun和磷酸化c-Jun（p-c-Jun）蛋白表达水平升高。Hela细胞凋亡率、p-ERK 1/2和c-Fos蛋白在Src抑制前后的变化低于C33A细胞。结论 Src活化可以上调ERK信号通路中关键因子ERK 1/2和c-Fos磷酸化蛋白的表达，促进宫颈癌细胞的生长与增殖，在宫颈癌变中发挥重要作用。HPV感染可能对Src介导的ERK信号通路调节具有调节作用。

Effects of Src on cervical cancer cells proliferation and apoptosis through ERK signal transduction pathway

Objective To explore the effect of Src on cervical cancer cells through ERK signal transduction pathway. Methods Experimental study was carried out in vitro. Cervical cancer cell lines Hela (HPV-positive) and C33A (HPV-negative) were treated with Src kinase inhibitor PP2. Then, the cell cycle and apoptosis of each group were evaluated by using flow cytometry (FCM). Western blotting and Real-time PCR were used to detect the levels of the expression of ERK 1/2, c-Fos and c-Jun mRNA and protein respectively. The database was established and analyzed with SPSS statistical software (version 20.0). Results After down-regulating Src, the cell proliferation was inhibited and cell apoptosis was induced. The proportions of G0/G1 stage of Hela and C33A cell in cell cycle increased while G2/M and S stages decreased. Meanwhile, the mRNA levels of ERK 1, ERK 2, c-Fos and c-Jun increased. And the expression levels of ERK 1/2, phosphorylated ERK 1/2 (p-ERK 1/2) and phosphorylated c-Fos (p-c-Fos) protein decreased, while c-Jun and phosphorylated c-Jun (p-c-Jun) protein expression increased. In addtion, the change level of Hela cell, p-ERK 1/2 and c-Fos protein were lower than that of C33A cell before and after the Src inhibition. Conclusions Src, involved in regulating the expression of key factors of the ERK signal transduction pathway including p-ERK 1/2 and p-c-Fos, might be capable of promoting the proliferation of cervical cancer cells and inhibiting their apoptosis. The infection with HPV might have adjustable effect on this process.
