摘要
目的:用cDNA芯片观察lovastatin作用前后HepG2细胞的差异表达基因。方法:20μmol/L的lovas-tatin作用于HepG2细胞18h,各提取实验组与对照组细胞总RNA,用cDNA直接标记法制备探针,进行杂交,杂交信号经扫描后,用软件分析基因表达情况。应用RT-PCR验证部分差异表达基因。结果:Lovastatin作用后表达上调的基因有30个,表达下调的基因有11个,涉及信号转导、肿瘤免疫、细胞周期等方面,RT-PCR结果符合基因芯片结果。结论:用基因芯片筛选出的lovastatin作用后的肝癌细胞差异表达基因为深入研究他汀类药物的抗肿瘤机制提供重要的理论依据。
AIM: To analyze the lovastatin - induced differential gene expression in HepG2 cells using a eDNA mieroarray assay. METIHODS: Total RNA was extracted from the lovastatin- treated HepG2 cells and control group, eDNA was synthesized from RNA with Cy3/Cy5 - labelled dCTP. Then the-hybridization was conducted. The result was analyzed using Imagene and Genespring software. RT- PCR was carried to confirm the hybridization results. RESULTS: 30 genes were up- regulated while 11 genes were down- regulated in lovastatin- treated HepG2 cells, involved in some major functional areas including signal transduction, cell cycle regulation, tumor immunity, and so on. CONCLUSION: The analysis of differentially expressed genes in lovastatin- treated HepG2 cells is helpful to explore the mechanism of the anti - tumor activity of statins.
