胰島素生長因子-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1,IGF-1)是一種重要的肽類激素,存在于人體乳腺、結(jié)腸和前列腺等多種組織中,與胚胎組織分化、器官發(fā)育、物質(zhì)代謝等密切相關(guān),并且在正常生理活動中發(fā)揮著極其重要的作用[1-2]。在許多惡性腫瘤中發(fā)現(xiàn)IGF-1信號相關(guān)配體、受體和調(diào)節(jié)性結(jié)合蛋白存在不同表達(dá)水平的改變,從而激活I(lǐng)GF信號通路,體內(nèi)外實(shí)驗(yàn)也證實(shí)IGF-1信號通路在惡性腫瘤的起始和發(fā)展過程中有著重要的作用[3-4]。
IGF-1主要通過與其受體(IGF-1 receptor,IGF-1R)和胰島素受體(insulin receptor,IR)結(jié)合并激活I(lǐng)GF-1R和IR下游信號通路發(fā)揮生物學(xué)作用。但是現(xiàn)在多數(shù)靶向IGF-1信號通路治療策略都是通過特異性抑制IGF-1R并同時避開對IR信號轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)的抑制,那是因?yàn)镮R在正常的生理代謝過程中有著重要作用,同時抑制IR信號轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)將會對機(jī)體產(chǎn)生不良反應(yīng)[5]。在正常組織中,機(jī)體通過多種機(jī)制對IGF-1R信號通路活化進(jìn)行嚴(yán)格調(diào)控,其中包括配體表達(dá)轉(zhuǎn)錄抑制、配體與結(jié)合蛋白(IGFBPs)和非信號受體(IGF-2R)結(jié)合。但是在人類惡性腫瘤中,這些調(diào)控系統(tǒng)出現(xiàn)紊亂,從而導(dǎo)致IGF-1R信號通路過度活化[3]。
骨形態(tài)發(fā)生蛋白(bone morphogenetic proteins,BMPs)因可促進(jìn)多種腫瘤細(xì)胞的增殖和侵襲而日益成為腫瘤分子研究領(lǐng)域的熱點(diǎn)。有研究表明,IGF-1與BMPs兩者在細(xì)胞增殖、分化及組織修復(fù)等方面起重要作用[6-7]。我們前期研究已證實(shí)IGF-1能促進(jìn)肝癌SMMC7721細(xì)胞增殖,可增強(qiáng)肝癌細(xì)胞中BMP2基因及其蛋白的表達(dá)[8],但I(xiàn)GF-1R與BMP2之間的作用機(jī)制目前尚未明確。因此本試驗(yàn)將設(shè)計(jì)并構(gòu)建靶向IGF-1R基因的siRNA表達(dá)質(zhì)粒,轉(zhuǎn)染至SMMC7721細(xì)胞后檢測相關(guān)基因和蛋白的表達(dá),并分析其對細(xì)胞增殖和凋亡的影響,初步研究IGF-1R與BMP2之間的作用機(jī)制。

近年來,IGF-1R作為腫瘤治療靶點(diǎn),已經(jīng)成為抗腫瘤藥物研發(fā)的熱點(diǎn),并已開發(fā)出相關(guān)的靶向藥物。Linsitinib是一種靶向IGF-1R和IR的雙重酪氨酸激酶抑制劑,現(xiàn)已進(jìn)入ⅠB期臨床研究,聯(lián)合依維莫斯治療難治性轉(zhuǎn)移性結(jié)直腸癌[9-10]。靶向IGF-1R的單克隆抗體Ganitumab也已進(jìn)入臨床Ⅲ期的隨機(jī)雙盲多中心研究,與吉西他濱聯(lián)用并成為治療轉(zhuǎn)移性胰腺癌的一線藥物[11]。盡管現(xiàn)已研發(fā)出相關(guān)靶向藥物,但是對于IGF-1R參與的信號通路和分子機(jī)制至今仍未闡明。
前期研究發(fā)現(xiàn),在肝癌SMMC7721細(xì)胞中,IGF-1可以上調(diào)BMP2基因的表達(dá),并通過阻斷p38/MAPK信號通路抑制BMP2基因的表達(dá)[8]。IGF-1與其受體IGF-1R結(jié)合,并激活下游的MAPK和PI3K信號通路,BMP2基因的上調(diào)表達(dá)是由IGF-1R/MAPK信號通路活化所介導(dǎo)的。但是IGF-1R是否也會通過激活PI3K/Akt信號通路介導(dǎo)BMP2基因的上調(diào)表達(dá)至今仍未見報(bào)道,Graham等[12]對前列腺癌的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),PI3K/Akt-NF-κB信號軸通過對BMP2基因進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)錄調(diào)控從而促進(jìn)BMP-Smad信號通路活化,ChIP實(shí)驗(yàn)還發(fā)現(xiàn)NF-κB可能通過與BMP2基因啟動子結(jié)合從而參與對BMP2基因的轉(zhuǎn)錄調(diào)控。
本研究通過RT-PCR和Western blot實(shí)驗(yàn)研究發(fā)現(xiàn),轉(zhuǎn)染靶向IGF-1R基因的siRNA表達(dá)質(zhì)粒后,肝癌SMMC7721細(xì)胞中IGF-1R和BMP2基因的轉(zhuǎn)錄和翻譯水平都有明顯下調(diào),MTT細(xì)胞生長曲線和細(xì)胞凋亡實(shí)驗(yàn)研究發(fā)現(xiàn),轉(zhuǎn)染組SMMC7721細(xì)胞增殖速率明顯低于對照組,轉(zhuǎn)染組細(xì)胞凋亡比例也高于對照組。本研究結(jié)果也說明通過RNA干擾IGF-1R基因表達(dá)阻滯IGF-1R參與的信號通路的活化,明顯抑制BMP2基因的轉(zhuǎn)錄表達(dá),抑制細(xì)胞增殖,并且促進(jìn)細(xì)胞發(fā)生凋亡。至于IGF-1R是通過MAPK還是PI3K相關(guān)信號通路調(diào)節(jié)BMP2基因的表達(dá)至今尚未見報(bào)道,也可能是通過IGF1R/PI3K/Akt-NF-κB信號通路發(fā)揮對BMP2基因的轉(zhuǎn)錄調(diào)控作用,但是本課題尚未對此假說進(jìn)行驗(yàn)證。

[Abstract]Background and purpose:Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a peptide that participates in many biological processes by stimulating the downstream signaling pathways through their interaction with IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and insulin receptor (IR). Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of functional proteins which participate in the biological processes of proliferation and migration in many kinds of cancers and have become a hot area of cancer research. The study aimed to investigate the effects of silencing IGF-1R gene on the expression level of BMP2 gene, and the cell proliferation and apoptosis of SMMC7721 cells. Methods:The RNAi plasmid targeting IGF-1R gene was constructed and transfected into SMMC7721 cells. Then the inhibition effect on the expression level of IGF-1R and BMP2 gene was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. The SMMC7721 growth curve and cell apoptosis were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry after they were transfected with RNAi plasmid. Results:The RNAi plasmid targeting IGF-1R gene was constructed successfully. The inhibition efficiencies at mRNA expression levels were 68.9% and 80.7% (IGF-1R gene), 79.5% and 83.3% (BMP2 gene), respectively, aftertransfection with IGF-1R-siRNA-1 and IGF-1R-siRNA-2 plasmid (P<0.05). The inhibition efficiencies at protein levels were 46.1% and 62.1% (IGF-1R gene, P<0.05), 42.5% and 60.9% (BMP2 gene, P<0.05), respectively. The results of MTT growth curve showed that the proliferation rate in the transfected SMMC7721 cells was significantly slower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The proportion of apoptotic cells in transfected groups was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Silencing IGF-1R gene can downregulate the expression of BMP2 gene at different levels that results in inhibition of cell proliferation and promotion of apoptosis in SMMC7721 cells.
