DEC1基因过表达对人食管癌ECA109细胞增殖及侵袭能力的影响

目的:探讨DEC1基因过表达对人食管癌ECA109细胞增殖和侵袭能力的影响及可能机制。方法:将质粒pc DNA3.1(-)/DEC1(DEC1组)和pc DNA3.1(-)(vector组)利用脂质体分别转染至人食管癌ECA109细胞中,通过real-time PCR检测转染48 h后的细胞内DEC1 mRNA表达,Western blot分别检测转染72 h后细胞内DEC1、基质金属蛋白酶9(MMP9)及细胞周期蛋白cyclin D1的蛋白表达;采用CCK-8实验、平板集落实验及Transwell实验分别检测DEC1过表达对细胞的增殖和侵袭能力的影响。结果:与vector组相比,DEC1组中DEC1的表达明显增高(P0.01);cyclin D1和MMP9的表达明显降低(P0.05);细胞增殖与侵袭能力明显受到抑制(P0.01)。结论:过表达DEC1可明显抑制ECA109细胞的增殖和侵袭能力,DEC1可能通过影响MMP9和cyclin D1参与其中。

Effect of DEC1 gene over-expression on proliferation and invasion abilities of human esophageal cancer ECA109 cells

AIM: To investigate the effect of DEC1 gene over-expression on the proliferation and invasion abilities of human esophageal cancer ECA109 cells.METHODS: ECA109 cells were transfected with plasmid pcDNA3.1 (-)/DEC1 (DEC1 group) or pcDNA3.1 (-) (vector group). The mRNA and protein levels of DEC1, cyclin D1 and MMP-9 were evaluated by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. The effects of DEC1 over-expression on the proliferation and invasion abilities of the ECA109 cells were evaluated by CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay and Transwell test respectively.RESULTS: The DEC1 expression level in ECA109 cells in DEC1 group was significantly higher than that in vector group (P<0.01), but the levels of MMP9 and cyclin D1 expression were opposite (P<0.01). However, both the proliferation and invasion abilities of ECA109 cells in DEC1 groups decreased significantly as compared with those in vector group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The over-expression of DEC1 significantly inhibits the proliferation and invasion of ECA109 cells, which may be involved in the expression of cyclin D1 and MMP9.
