基质细胞衍生因子-1及其受体CXCR4对结肠癌肝转移潜能的影响

目的 探讨趋化因子基质细胞衍生因子-1(SDF-1)及其受体CXCR4对结肠癌肝转移潜能的影响.方法 采用Western-blot法检测不同结肠癌细胞株中CXCR4蛋白及不同组织中SDF-1蛋白的表达,MTT法检测SDF-1及抗CXCR4单抗对结肠癌细胞HT-29增殖能力的影响,体外趋化实验检测HT-29细胞定向迁移能力的变化.建立裸鼠结肠癌肝转移瘤模型,观察CXCR4特异性拮抗剂AMD3100对裸鼠肝转移率和转移瘤数目的 影响.结果 HT-29细胞表达较高强度的CXCR4蛋白,而肝组织表达高强度的SDF-1蛋白.与对照组相比,SDF-1可以诱导HT-29细胞增殖(0.76±0.11 vs0.38±0.06,P<0.05),抗CXCR4单抗对SDF-1的诱导增殖具有显著的抑制作用(0.42±0.08 vs0.76±0.11,P<0.05);SDF-1可促进HT-29细胞的趋化迁移,抗CXCR4单抗可显著抑制SDF-1诱导下HT-29细胞的迁移能力(104.6±18.3 vs 148.8±26.2,P<0.05).AMD3100治疗组裸鼠结肠癌肝转移率显著低于对照组(40% vs 100%,P<0.05),平均瘤结节数目显著低于对照组(7.8±2.6 vs 22.4±8.6,P<0.05).结论 SDF-1/CXCR4生物轴参与了结肠癌肝转移过程,拮抗CXCR4功能可抑制裸鼠结肠癌肝转移,其机制与抑制CXCR4能够有效阻断结肠癌细胞在SDF-1诱导下的细胞增殖和定向迁移有关.

Effect of stromal cell-derived factor-1 and its receptor CXCR4 on liver metastasis of human colon cancer

Objective To investigate the effect of chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1(SDF-1) and its receptor CXCR4 on liver metastasis of human colon cancer. Methods Expression of CXCR4 in different colon cancer cell lines and SDF-1 in different tissues were detected by using Western-blot technique. Effect of SDF-1 and anti-CXCR4 monoclonal antibody(McAb) on proliferation and migration of HT-29 cells were measured using MTT methods. Model mimicking liver metastasis of human colon cancer was established by injecting HT-29 cells intrasplenically into BALB/C nude mice. Mice were randomly divided into AMD3100 treated group and control group. Liver metastatic rate and tumor foci were measured 7 weeks after. Results HT-29 cells expressed higher level of CXCR4 protein, and liver tissue expressed higher level of SDF-1 protein. Compared with the control, SDF-1 could significantly induced the proliferation and migration of the HT-29 cells, and anti-CXCR4 McAb could inhibited both functions of SDF-1. The liver metastasis rate in the control group was 100%, and it was 40% in the AMD3100 treating group (P<0.05) . The mean liver metastasis number also significantly decreased by AM D3100 (7.8±2.6 vs 22.4±8.6, P<0.05). Conclusions SDF-1/CXCR4 biological axis play an important role in liver metastasis of human colon cancer. Arrest of CXCR4 can inhibit liver metastasis of colon cancer through blocking cell proliferation and migration induced by SDF-1.
