摘要: 目的: 探讨N6-甲基腺苷(m6A)去甲基化酶ALKB同系物5(ALKBH5)在甲状腺癌发生发展过程中的作用及其生物学机制,为甲状腺癌的治疗提供科学依据。方法: 将ALKBH5敲低质粒转染到甲状腺乳头状癌TPC-1细胞和甲状腺未分化癌8505C细胞后,采用m6A甲基化定量检测试剂盒分析甲状腺癌细胞中m6A甲基化修饰水平;分别采用平板集落形成试验、CCK-8试剂盒、平板划痕试验、Transwell实验分析甲状腺癌细胞的增殖、迁移、侵袭能力,流式细胞术检测细胞周期分布,并通过Western blot实验检测PI3K/AKT信号通路蛋白的表达水平。结果: 与未敲低ALKBH5的细胞系相比,ALKBH5敲低后甲状腺癌TPC-1细胞和8505C细胞的m6A甲基化修饰水平升高,甲状腺癌细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭数目均下降,细胞周期G2/M期阻滞(P<0.05)。Western blot实验结果显示,ALKBH5低表达时,甲状腺癌细胞PI3K/AKT信号通路中的P85、AKT、P-AKT和FAK蛋白表达水平降低,下游Cyclin通路中CDK4、CDK6、Cyclin B1、Cyclin D1、Cyclin E1蛋白表达水平亦降低,而下游P53通路中,P53蛋白表达水平升高(P<0.05)。结论: 在甲状腺癌细胞中,ALKBH5敲低后抑制甲状腺癌细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭,导致细胞周期阻滞,并通过PI3K/AKT/P53与PI3K/AKT/Cyclin轴抑制甲状腺癌的发生发展。

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) demethylase ALKBH5 on intracellular and cellular functions of thyroid carcinoma cells in vitro. METHODS: The ALKBH5 knockdown plasmid was transfected to human thyroid papillary carcinoma cells (TPC-1) and undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma cells (8505C). Expression of m6A in the cancer cells were measured using a m6A methylation quantification detection kit. Plate cloning,CCK-8,plate scratch,and Transwell were used to analyze the proliferation,migration,and invasion ability. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle of the cancer cells and the percentage of cell in each phase. The relationship between ALKBH5 and downstream pathways was analyzed by Western blot experiments. RESULTS: Compared to cells without the ALKBH5 knockdown,the knockdown increased m6A expression of levels in the TPC-1 and 8505C cancer cells,and decreased the number of cell proliferation,invasion,and migration decreased (P<0.05). In addition,cells were arrested at the G2/M phase of cell cycle. Western blot experiments showed that when the expression of ALKBH5 was low,the key genes of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were perturbed. Protein expressions of P85,AK,P-AKT and FAK were inhibited,as well as that of CDK4,CDK6,Cyclin B1,Cyclin D1,Cyclin E1 in the downstream Cyclin pathway,but P53 was increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: In the thyroid papillary carcinoma cells,ALKBH5 knockdown inhibited their proliferation,migration,invasion and cell cycle,as well as the PI3K/AKT/P53 and PI3K/AKT/Cyclin axis.
