摘要: 目的:通过建立鼻咽癌顺铂耐药细胞系CNE2/DDP,研究CXCR4在耐药机制中的作用。方法:采用药物浓度逐步递增的方法建立顺铂耐药细胞系CNE2/DDP,利用MTT实验、RNA干扰技术、microRNA过表达技术、荧光定量PCR和蛋白免疫印迹等分析CXCR4在CNE2/DDP顺铂耐药机制中的作用,并同时对其下游的目的基因进行研究。结果:①鼻咽癌顺铂耐药细胞系CNE2/DDP中CXCR4基因的表达水平升高,当降低了CXCR4 siRNA表达水平后,CNE2/DDP的顺铂耐药能力减弱;②CNE2/DDP中的let-7a表达水平降低,而bcl-2的表达水平升高。当利用let-7a mimics过表达let-7a后,bcl-2的表达水平下降,CNE2/DDP耐药能力减弱;③CXCR4 siRNA降低CXCR4的表达水平后,let-7a的表达水平上升。结论:首次发现CNE2/DDP的耐药能力较CNE2明显增强,IC50值增加了至少5倍,并且通过调控let-7a的表达,进而影响凋亡抑制基因bcl-2的表达来实现其对CNE2顺铂耐药能力的调节。Abstract: Objective: Since nasopharyngeal carcinoma is easy to develop resistance during cisplatin-based chemotherapy,CXCR4 expression levels were elevated in mang tumors,and the factor to do with tumor metastasis and chemotherapy drug resistance,and so on has a very important link.We established cisplatin-resistant nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line, named as CNE2/DDP, and investigated the function of CXCR4 in molecular mechanism behind this resistance.Method: CNE2/DDP was firstly build up by increasing concentration of cisplatin. And then afterwards,MTT assay, RNA interference techniques, microRNA overexpresion techniques, quantative PCR and western blotting were applied to analyze the function of CXCR4 and its downstream effectors.Result: ①the expression of CXCR4 was increased in CNE2/DDP and downregulation of CXCR4 with CXCR4 siRNA was able to decrease the resistance of CNE/DDP to cisplatin; ②the expression of let-7a was decrease in CNE2/DDP, while the expression of bcl-2 was increased. Upregulation of let-7a via transfection of let-7a mimics could downregulate the expression of bcl-2 and damage the resistance of CNE2/DDP to cisplation;③downregulation of CXCR4 through CXCR4 siRNA transfection was capable of improving the expression of let-7a.Conclution: We were the first to found that CXCR4 was related to chemoresistance of CNE2/DPP to cisplatin. Meanwhile, we confirmed that CXCR4 affected the expression of bcl-2 through regulating the expression of let-7a to modulate the chemoresistance of CNE2/DPP to cisplatin.
