摘要: 目的:构建类固醇合成急性调节蛋白(StAR)基因高表达载体,建立StAR基因高表达细胞,研究StAR基因高表达对邻苯二甲酸二-(2-乙基己)酯(DEHP)毒性作用的影响。方法:根据GenBank提供的StAR基因cDNA序列设计引物,PCR扩增StAR基因并将其克隆到慢病毒载体中,构建StAR基因高表达MCF-7细胞,通过基因测序、荧光定量PCR和Western blot鉴定细胞。用不同剂量DEHP染毒MCF-7细胞和StAR基因高表达MCF-7细胞24 h,检测细胞凋亡相关基因Bax、Caspase-3、Caspase-8在mRNA和蛋白表达水平的变化。结果:基因测序证明构建的StAR基因高表达载体序列正确,荧光定量PCR检测StAR基因转染细胞比正常MCF-7细胞StAR mRNA表达水平升高591.9倍(P < 0.01),Western blot实验结果显示,StAR基因转染细胞比正常MCF-7细胞StAR蛋白表达水平升高190%(P < 0.01)。不同剂量DEHP染毒StAR基因高表达细胞后,荧光定量PCR结果显示,StAR基因高表达细胞中Bax、Caspase-3和Caspase-8 mRNA表达水平较对照组(0 mmol/L DEHP)显著升高,差异均有统计学意义(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。Western blot实验显示,StAR基因高表达细胞中Bax、Caspase-3和Caspase-8蛋白表达水平比对照组显著升高,差异均有统计学意义(P < 0.05或P < 0.01)。结论:本实验成功构建了StAR基因高表达细胞,DEHP处理后StAR基因高表达细胞的凋亡相关基因表达水平较MCF-7细胞升高,提示StAR基因具有促进DEHP致细胞凋亡作用。

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To construct cells with over-expression of the StAR gene and to study its apoptotic response to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). METHODS: Primers were designed according to cDNA sequence of the StAR gene from GenBank. The gene was amplified using PCR and ligated into the lentiviral vector pLVX-CMV-ZSgreen-PGK-Puro. 293FT cells were transfected with the recombinant vector and then MCF-7 cells were transfected. Cells with over-expression of the StAR gene were identified by gene sequencing,real-time quantitative PCR and western blot. Then the StAR gene over-expression cells and MCF-7 cells were treated with various doses of DEHP for 24 h to detect expression of apoptosis genes including Bax,Caspase-3 and Caspase-8. RESULTS: The sequence contained in the recombinant vector was exactly the same as the StAR gene from GenBank. StAR gene expression level in the transfected MCF-7 cells was 591.9 times higher than that of control MCF-7 cells. StAR protein level in the transfected MCF-7 cells was 190% higher than that of control MCF-7 cells. After DEHP treatment of the transfected and control MCF-7 cells,qPCR results show that mRNA levels of Bax,Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 were significantly higher in the transfected MCF-7 cells. Additionally,mRNA levels of Bax,Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 increased significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) in the transected compared with the similarly treated non-transfected MCF-7 cells. Western blot results show that the protein expression levels of Bax,Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 also increased significantly in the transfected MCF-7 cells. Protein expression levels of Bax,Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 were also increased significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01) except in the 0.2 mmol/L treatment group. CONCLUSION: The StAR gene over-expression cells were successfully constructed. These cells responded to DEHP treatments by showing significant increase in apoptotic gene expression. These findings indicate that StAR gene promoted DEHP induced-apoptosis.
