黑色素瘤分化相关基因-7和白介素-24选择性杀伤肝癌细胞和诱导增殖阻滞的体外研究

目的探讨黑色素瘤分化相关基因-7／白介素-24基因（mda-7／IL-24）对不同种类肝癌细胞的选择性杀伤作用。方法将携带人mda-7／IL-24基因的复制缺陷型腺病毒（Ad．mda-7）感染人正常肝细胞和各种肝癌细胞,通过逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT—PCR）和酶联免疫吸附（ELISA）实验观察mda-7／IL-24基因的表达,MTT法观察肝癌细胞的生长抑制,Hoeehst染色及Annexin—V和PI双染后流式细胞仪检测细胞的凋亡情况及用流式细胞仪检测细胞周期。结果RT—PCR和ELISA提示Ad．mda-7能介导外源基因mda-7／IL-24在各种肝癌细胞株和正常肝细胞中高效表达。MTT实验结果提示mda-7／IL-24能明显抑制各种肝癌细胞的生长,Hoeehst染色和流式细胞仪检测提示mda-7／IL-24能选择性杀伤肝癌细胞,细胞周期分析提示mda-7／IL-24阻滞肝癌细胞在G2／M期,同时对正常的肝细胞没有促凋亡和增殖阻滞作用。结论mda-7／IL-24基因能选择性杀伤各种肝癌细胞,促进细胞增殖阻滞及诱导细胞凋亡。

Melanoma differentiation associated gene-7 and interleukin-24 selectively induces growth arrest and apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines in vitro

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of melanoma differentiation associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24) on the hepatocullular carcinoma cell lines and normal liver cell line in vitro. METHODS: Hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2, SMMC7721, Hep3B, MHCC97L, M6 and normal liver cell line L02 were infected with Ad.mda-7. The gene expression of mda-7/IL-24 in these cell lines was confirmed by RT-PCR and ELISA assay. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to study tumor cell proliferation and cell cycle in vitro. Hoechst staining and cytometry assay after Annexin-V and PI staining were studied to indicate the apoptosis effect. RESULTS: It was confirmed by RT-PCR that the exogenous mda-7/IL-24 gene expressed in all of these cells. The mda-7/IL-24 protein product was confirmed by assaying the supernatant with ELISA. MTT and apoptosis test indicated mda-7/IL-24 can induce the hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines growth suppression, apoptosis in vitro but not in normal liver cell line L02, cell cycle test revealed mda-7/IL-24 can block cancer cell lines in G2/M but not in L02. CONCLUSIONS: mda-7/IL-24 selectively induces growth suppression, apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma lines but not in normal liver cell in vitro.
