Pyk2对人类结肠癌细胞肝转移能力及超微结构的影响

目的:研究在裸鼠结肠癌肝转移模型中,富含脯氨酸的蛋白酪氨酸激酶2(proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2,Pyk2)对人结肠癌细胞肝转移能力和超微结构的影响。方法:利用正义及反义cDNA技术,在人结肠癌细胞系SW480基础上,构建Pyk2高表达的细胞系SW480-Pyk2+及低表达的细胞系SW480-Pyk2-作为实验组,并以转染空载体的细胞系SW480-vector和原细胞系SW480作为对照组。4组共32只4周龄的Babl/c nu/nu雄性裸鼠,用脾注射保留脾脏法构建裸鼠肝转移瘤模型。6周后处死裸鼠,用Western blot检测瘤细胞中Pyk2蛋白的表达,计数肝转移瘤数目,电子显微镜下观察肝转移瘤细胞的超微结构。结果:6周后裸鼠肝转移模型建立成功,Western blot显示SW480-Pyk2+组的蛋白表达量明显高于空载体组(SW480-vector)和SW480组,SW480-Pyk2-组的蛋白表达量明显低于SW480组和SW480-vector组;肝转移瘤计数显示SW480-Pyk2+组明显少于SW480-vector组及SW480组,SW480-Pyk2-组明显多于SW480-vector组及SW480组(P<0.05),而SW480-vector组与SW480组之间无明显差异;电子显微镜下观察发现,SW480-Pyk2+组细胞连接发育较成熟,有形成腺腔趋势,微绒毛较多,细胞器较多,粗面内质网较多,细胞异型性较轻;而SW480-Pyk2-组细胞连接发育不良,细胞器少,微绒毛短小而稀疏,细胞核异形明显,有核沟。结论:Pyk2能减少结肠癌肝转移灶的数量,改善细胞的异型性和细胞连接发育,并可能通过此机制抑制肿瘤转移。

Influence of Pyk2 on hepatic metastasis and ultrastructure of human colonic cancer cells

Objective:To study the influence of proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2(Pyk2) on hepatic metastasis and microstructure of colon cancer cells in nude mice.Methods: Hepatic metastases of colonic cancer were established in Babl/c nu/nu nude mice by splenic injection of colonic cancer cells SW480 which were transfected with sense-Pyk2 plasmid and antisense-Pyk2 plasmid.After six weeks,we counted the number of liver metastases in each group and observed the ultrastructure of tumor cells in each group by electron micr...
