p38MAPK在戊地昔布诱导Eca109细胞凋亡中的调控作用

目的探讨p38MAPK信号转导途径在戊地昔布诱导食管癌Eca109细胞凋亡中的调控作用。方法将正常培养的人食管癌Eca109细胞随机分为正常对照组、戊地昔布组和戊地昔布+SB203580组;采用流式细胞术和DNA Ladder检测凋亡情况;RT-PCR检测p38mRNA的表达变化;流式细胞术和免疫细胞化学检测p38蛋白的表达变化。结果①戊地昔布能够诱导Eca109细胞发生凋亡,并呈剂量依赖性,而SB203580能够部分降低戊地昔布诱导的Eca109细胞的凋亡率;②戊地昔布能够上调Eca109细胞中p38mRNA和蛋白的表达,而戊地昔布+SB203580组p38mRNA和蛋白的表达下降;③p38蛋白表达与凋亡率呈正相关。结论戊地昔布能够通过部分激活p38MAPK信号途径诱导Eca109细胞发生凋亡。

Regulatory effect of p38MAPK signal pathway on the apoptosis of human esophageal cancer cells induced by valdecoxib

Aim To investigate the regulatory effect of p38MAPK signal pathway on the apoptosis of human esophageal cancer cells induced by valdecoxib.Methods The tumor cells were inoculated in the dose of 1×107·L-1.After 6 h,the cells were divided into control group,solution group,400,200,100,50,25 μmol·L-1 valdecoxib group and various concentration valdecoxib+SB203580 group,cultured for 72 h.FCM and DNA Ladder were used to detect the apoptosis of Eca109 cells.p38 mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR.The expression of p-p38MAPK protein was detected by immunohistochemical staining and FCM.Results ① Valdecoxib could increased the apoptosis rate of Eca109 cell in concentration-dependent fashion.Apoptosis rate was increased to 48.46% in 400 μmol·L-1 valdecoxib group at the incubation time of 72 h.DNA ladder was the most recognized marker of apoptosis,and there was obvious DNA ladder in valdecoxib treated group,especially in 400 μmol·L-1 group.② Valdecoxib could increase the expression of p38MAPK,while SB203580 could inhibit the over-expression induced by valdecoxib,at the same time,the apoptosis rate was been decreased.③ The expression of p38MAPK protein was positively correlated with the apoptotic rate(r=0.822,P=0.000).Conclusions Valdecoxib could activate p38MAPK pathway,thus induce the apoptosis of Eca109 cells,which may be one of the mechanisms for the inhibition of cell growth by valdecoxib.
