靶向AKT1和COX-2的RNAi抑制U251胶质瘤细胞侵袭的体外实验

目的应用RNA干扰(RNA interference,RNAi)技术敲低恶性胶质瘤细胞系U251中AKT1和COX-2表达后,在体外对细胞侵袭转移的抑制作用,初步探讨其可能的作用机制。方法构建重组腺病毒载体rAd5-A-C同时搭载靶向AKT1和COX-2的shRNA干扰序列,将其转染至恶性胶质瘤细胞系U251细胞。Realtime PCR检测RNAi后目的基因mRNA的表达水平,Western Blot检测目的基因及MMP-2、MMP-9、TIMP-2的表达情况。酶联免疫吸附试验检测转染前后分泌到细胞外的MMP-2和MMP-9的浓度变化。划痕实验和Transwell实验评价肿瘤细胞转染前后的细胞侵袭能力的变化。结果rAd5-A-C转染组AKT1和COX-2的mRNA和蛋白表达均明显抑制;MMP-2、MMP-9表达下调,TIMP-2表达则上调。ELISA检测胞外MMP-2、MMP-9浓度明显减低;划痕实验显示细胞转移运动能力明显减弱,Transwell体外侵袭实验结果显示穿过细胞数明显减低(P0.001)。结论重组腺病毒介导的RNAi技术可以序列特异性地抑制U251细胞AKT1和COX-2的表达,在体外对U251细胞侵袭转移产生明显抑制作用,可能成为恶性胶质瘤治疗的新策略。

Knockdown of AKT1 and COX-2 by small interference RNA suppresses the invasion of malignant glioma U251 cells in vitro

Objective To investigate the inhibition effects on tumor invasion of malignant glioma U251 cells by small hairpin RNA targeting AKT1 and COX-2 in vitro.Methods The recombinant adenovirus vector plasmid expression vector which contained short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression construct of AKT1 and COX-2 was transfected into human malignant glioma U251 cells.AKT1 and COX-2 expressions were assessed using Real-time PCR and western blot analysis and the expressions of MMP-2,MMP-9 and TIMP-2 were detected by Wester...
