siRNA沉默COX-2基因对人胰腺癌Capan-2细胞增殖、细胞周期、凋亡和成瘤能力的影响

目的: 研究siRNA沉默环氧合酶-2(COX-2)基因对人胰腺癌Capan-2细胞增殖、细胞周期、凋亡和成瘤能力的影响。方法: 以Lipofectamine 2000(Lipo)为载体转染siRNA-COX-2至Capan-2细胞。应用RT-PCR、realtime PCR检测COX-2-mRNA表达,Western blotting 检测COX-2蛋白的表达。应用细胞直接计数法检测细胞的增殖,流式细胞术(FCM)检测细胞凋亡与周期。应用裸鼠模型评估COX-2-siRNA转染的Capan-2细胞成瘤能力的影响。结果: 在siRNA-COX-2浓度为50 nmol/L、Lipo为5 μL∶ 2 mL转染容积条件下,在Capan-2细胞的转染效率可达96.47%。siRNA-COX-2沉默Capan-2细胞中 COX-2 基因表达的最佳序列为siRNA006,转染24 h以后沉默效率达73%,COX-2蛋白表达水平在转染后48 h和72 h分别被下调了67% 和 61%。转染48 h后,Capan-2细胞生长明显减慢(P<0.05),48 h和72 h抑制细胞增殖率分别为35.48% 和56.32%。细胞凋亡率较对照组高(P<0.05),48 h和72 h细胞凋亡率为2.03%和3.27%。转染24 h、48 h和72 h G₀/G₁期的比例分别是58.03%、63.31%和65.66%,S期的比例分别是30.27%、24.87%和22.2%。siRNA-COX-2转染Capan-2细胞在裸鼠的皮下形成的肿瘤体积和重量明显减少(P<0.05)。结论: siRNA006-COX-2可有效沉默 COX-2 基因的表达,可明显抑制Capan-2细胞的生长并降低其成瘤能力。

Effects of silencing of COX-2 gene expression by siRNA on cell proliferation, cell cycles, apoptosis and tumorigenicity of human pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells

AIM: To investigate the effects of silencing of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) gene expression by siRNA on the proliferation,apoptosis,cell cycle and tumorigenicity of human pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells.METHODS: The gene transfection was performed using Lipofectamine 2000(Lipo).The proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle of Capan-2 cells were tested by the methods of cell counting,microscopy and FCM.The mRNA expression of COX-2 was determined by RT-PCR and real-time PCR.The protein level of COX-2 was detected by...
