摘要
目的X线诱导人鼻咽癌细胞系CNE和CNE-2凋亡及其相关基因的研究。方法应用DNA荧光染料Hoechst33342、免疫组化、RT-PCR、DNA杂交等方法进行观察和检验。结果一定剂量照射后,CNE凋亡指数与时间、剂量有相关性,CNE和CNE-2两种细胞系存在明显不同的凋亡反应。免疫组化方法检测,CNE的bcl-2蛋白呈强阳性,而CNE-2为阴性;进一步采用RT-PCR方法检测,发现CNE-2存在p53mRNA扩增产物,而CNE却不存在。CNE和CNE-2的p53及bcl-2基因的DNA杂交结果均为阳性,但CNE细胞p53基因的2.8kb片段较5.6kb片段明显减弱,说明在CNE中存在p53基因的部分缺失。结论人鼻咽癌细胞系的凋亡指数有时间、剂量相关性;CNE、CNE-2两种细胞系的凋亡指数有明显差异,可能与CNE中抗凋亡基因bcl-2的过度表达及p53基因部分缺失密切相关。
Objective To study apoptosis induced by radiation in two nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell lines, CNE and CNE 2. Methods Hoechst 33342 staining, immunocytochemical staining, RT PCR, DNA dot blotting and Southern blotting were used to identify apoptosis. Results A single dose of X irradiation resulted in apoptosis, the apoptotic index (AI) was time and dose dependent. Different apoptotic responses existed in the two cell lines. Immunocytochemical staining showed that bcl 2 protein was strongly positive in CNE but negetive in CNE 2. However, RT PCR revealed p53 mRNA in CNE 2 but not in CNE. p53 and bcl 2 genes were both present in the two cell lines as shown by DNA blotting, but the 2.8kb fragment of the p53 gene was much lower than the 5.6 Kb fragment in CNE which was clearly shown in Southern hybridization, suggestive of partial deletion of p53 gene in CNE. Conclusion Apoptotic response to radiation is different in 2 NPC cell lines. CNE is more radio resistant than CNE 2. Overexpression of bcl 2 protein and partial deletion of p53 gene may explain their difference in radio sensitivity.
