摘要
背景:哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mTOR)信号途径和DNA甲基化均参与肿瘤的发生、发展。脾酪氨酸激酶(Syk)是一种候选抑癌基因,与肿瘤发生有关。目的:研究mTOR信号通路抑制剂和DNA甲基转移酶抑制剂对人胃癌细胞株Syk表达的调控作用。方法:分别单独或联合应用mTOR抑制剂雷帕霉素(RAPA)、DNA甲基转移酶抑制剂5-氮杂-2’-脱氧胞苷(5-Aza-dC)、磷脂酰肌醇-3-激酶/丝苏氨酸蛋白激酶(PI3K/Akt)抑制剂LY294002干预人胃癌细胞株MKN45和SGC7901,以细胞计数法检测细胞增殖能力,实时定量PCR法检测Syk表达情况,亚硫酸氢盐修饰后测序法检测DNA甲基化改变。结果:单独应用5-Aza-dC对细胞增殖抑制不明显,与RAPA、LY294002联合则显著抑制细胞增殖。单独应用5-Aza-dC可通过抑制DNA甲基化上调胃癌细胞的Syk表达,联合应用5-Aza-dC、RAPA和LY294002则显著上调Syk表达,但未进一步抑制DNA甲基化。结论:抑制mTOR信号通路可间接增强DNA甲基转移酶抑制剂上调Syk表达,从而抑制胃癌细胞生长。
Background: Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway and DNA methylation play an important role in tumorigenesis, and spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is an anti-oncogene related to tumor development. Aims: To investigate the effects of mTOR signaling pathway inhibitor and DNA methyltransferase inhibitor on Syk expression in human gastric cancer cell lines. Methods: Human gastric cancer cell lines MKN45 and SGC7901 were treated with mTOR inhibitor rapamycin ( RAPA ), DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-aza-2 '-deoxycytidine ( 5-Aza-dC ) and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/serine-threonine protein kinases (PI3K/Akt) inhibitor LY294002. Cell proliferation was determined by cell counting method. Expression of Syk was determined by real-time quantitive PCR. DNA methylation was detected by bisulfite sequencing. Results: Treated with 5-Aza-dC had no significant effect on cell proliferation, while combinedly treated with 5-Aza-dC, RAPA and LY294002 could significantly inhibit cell proliferation. Treated with 5-Aza- dC upregulated the expression of Syk by inhibiting DNA methylation, while combinedly treated with 5-Aza-dC, RAPA and LY294002 significantly upregulated the expression of Syk, but did not further inhibit the DNA methylation. Conclusions: Inhibiting roTOR signaling pathway could enhance the effect of DNA methyltransferase inhibitor for upregulating the expression of Syk and thereby inhibiting the proliferation of gastric cancer cells.
