马钱子碱抗肝细胞癌作用的实验研究

目的 探讨马钱子碱抗肝细胞癌的作用及其机制.方法 体外培养人肝癌SMMC-7721细胞,加入不同浓度的马钱子碱(2.5～400μg/ml),细胞培养72 h,MTT法测定细胞生长抑制率.Western blotting和荧光定量RT-PCR技术分别测定培养24、48、72 h肝癌细胞PCNA、Cyclin D1、FAS基因mRNA和蛋白表达.结果 随着马钱子碱用量逐渐增加,对人肝癌细胞SMMC-7721生长抑制作用增强,马钱子碱用量为320 μg/ml时对肝癌细胞生长抑制率接近100%.马钱子碱作用肝癌细胞24 h与作用48 h相比,Fas蛋白和mRNA表达差异无统计学意义(分别F=2.547,1.582,均P＞0.05),作用72 h时差异有统计学意义(分别F=1.036,1.137,均P＜0.05);PCNA和Cyclin D1的mRNA和蛋白表达各时间点差异无统计学意义(PCNA分别F=3.612,2.174,3.029;Cyclin D1分别F=2.361,2.915,1.976,均P＞0.05).结论 马钱子碱抑制肝癌细胞生长,可能通过肝癌细胞FAS基因和蛋白表达增加,诱导肝癌细胞凋亡发挥抑制作用,而与PCNA和Cyclin D1作用无关.

Abstract：

Objective To study the effect of brucine on the growth of a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line in vitro. Methods Brucine was added into a liver cancer cell line of SMMC-7721 in vitro, at drug concentration of brucine from 2. 5 μg/ml to 400 μg/ml. The inhibition rate of cell growth was measured by MTT technique after the cells were cultured for 72 hours. The protein and mRNA expression of PCNA,cyclin D1 and FAS were respectively assayed with Western blotting and fluorescent quantitation RT-PCR techniques at 24, 48, 72 h. Results The inhibition rate of liver cancer cell was near 100% when the brucine concentration was at 320 μg/ml. The protein and mRNA expression of FAS were of no significant difference at 24 h vs 48 h ( seperately F = 2. 547,1. 582, all P ＞ 0. 05 ), and significant difference existed at 24 h vs 72 h( seperately F = 1. 036, 1. 137, all P ＜ 0. 05 ). The protein and mRNA expression of PCNA,Cyclin D1 were of no significant difference between various time period( seperately PCNA F = 3.612,2. 174,3.029;Cyclin D1 F=2.361,2.915,1.976,all P＞0.05). Conclusions Brucine inhibits the growth of liver cancer cells, by inducing increased apoptosis of the cells probably through FAS overexpression.
