摘要: 目的:研究甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯(GMA)诱导的恶性转化前期16HBE细胞中c-Kit蛋白的作用机制。方法:使用8 μg/mL的GMA对16HBE细胞进行3次重复染毒,同体积二甲基亚砜(DMSO)处理细胞作为对照组,收获第10代(P10)的两组细胞。分别采用逆转录实时荧光定量PCR(RT-qPCR)和Western blot实验检测两组细胞中c-Kit mRNA和蛋白的表达水平。进一步使用5和20 μmol/L c-Kit蛋白特异性抑制剂ISCK03作用GMA处理组细胞24 h后,采用Western blot实验检测通路相关蛋白PI3K、Akt及其磷酸化水平,细胞周期相关蛋白Cyclin D1、Cyclin B1和凋亡蛋白Caspase-3的表达水平;采用流式细胞术检测各组细胞周期和细胞凋亡率的变化。结果:与DMSO对照组相比,P10代GMA处理组细胞中c-Kit mRNA和蛋白表达水平均显著降低(P<0.01)。与GMA处理组相比,使用20 μmol/L ISCK03抑制c-Kit蛋白表达后,PI3K和Akt蛋白的磷酸化水平降低、Cyclin B1和Caspase-3蛋白的表达水平下降、Cyclin D1蛋白的表达水平升高、细胞凋亡率降低,差异均具有统计学意义(均为P<0.05)。结论:c-Kit蛋白可能通过抑制PI3K/Akt信号通路调控细胞周期和细胞凋亡过程,在细胞恶性转化前期发挥重要作用。本研究为GMA潜在的致癌机制研究提供了参考。

Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanistic role of downregulating the differentially expressed protein c-Kit in glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)-induced premalignant transformation of 16HBE cells. METHODS:Three replicates of 16HBE cells were treated with 8 μg/mL GMA,and the same volume of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) treatment served as a control group. The GMA- and DMSO-treated cells were passaged to the 10th generation (P10) and then harvested. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot experiments were performed to detect expression levels of c-Kit mRNA and protein in the two groups of cells. Following 24-hour treatment of GMA-treated cells with 5 and 20 μmol/L of the c-Kit-specific inhibitor ISCK03,western blot assay was performed to detect pathway-related proteins including PI3K,Akt,and their phosphorylation levels,as well as the expression levels of cycle-related proteins Cyclin D1 and Cyclin B1,and the apoptotic protein Caspase-3. Flow cytometry was employed to assess cell cycle progression and apoptotic changes across all groups. RESULTS:Compared with the DMSO control group,both c-Kit mRNA and protein expression levels were reduced in P10 cells treated with GMA (P<0.01). Following inhibition of c-Kit protein expression using 5 and 20 μmol/L ISCK03,compared to the GMA-treated group,the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt proteins decreased,the expression levels of Cyclin B1 and Caspase-3 proteins declined,while the expression level of Cyclin D1 protein increased. Furthermore,cell cycle progression was impeded,and apoptosis rate was decreased,with all differences being statistically significant (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION:C-Kit protein may play an important role in the premalignant transformation of cells by regulating the cell cycle and apoptotic processes through inhibition of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. This study provides a reference for the mechanistic study of the potential carcinogenicity of GMA.
