摘要
目的:研究小干扰RNA(small interfering RNA,siRNA)和LY29400抑制单个或多个DNA双链断裂(DNA double-strand break,DSB)修复蛋白后,HeLa细胞放射敏感性和细胞周期的变化。方法:Ku80受抑细胞HeLa/Ku80-siRNA和对照细胞HeLa/Neg-siRNA分别转染可以靶向抑制DNA依赖蛋白激酶催化亚单位(DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit,DNA-PKcs)表达的siRNA,或用DNA-PKcs活性抑制剂LY294002处理,经6 MV X线照射后,克隆形成实验检测细胞放射敏感性的变化,FCM法检测细胞周期。结果:DNA-PKcs-siRNA转染后的HeLa/Ku80-siRNA细胞,其2 Gy照射后的存活分数(sur-vival fraction,SF2)为0.08±0.01,LY294002作用后HeLa/Ku80-siRNA的SF2达0.03±0.01,均远低于未处理HeLa/Ku80-siRNA细胞的0.20±0.05。各组细胞照射6 Gy后均出现G2/M期阻滞,转染DNA-PKcs-siRNA的HeLa/Neg-siRNA细胞以及经LY294002处理的HeLa/Ku80-siRNA、HeLa/Neg-siRNA细胞G2/M期阻滞逐渐缓慢出现,照射后72 h仍未达到顶点,而其他细胞G2/M期阻滞均于照射后48 h达到顶点。结论:在抑制Ku80已达95%的基础上,DSB修复功能可以由其他DSB修复蛋白如DNA-PKcs和共济失调毛细血管扩张症突变基因(ataxia-telangiectasia mutant,ATM)代偿,协同抑制上述蛋白可以明显增加,如HeLa细胞的辐射敏感性;Ku80、DNA-PKcs和ATM在细胞的G2/M期阻滞过程中发挥的作用不同。
Objective:To study the changes in radiosensitivity and cell cycle distribution of HeLa cells after inhibition of one or several DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair proteins by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and LY294002. Methods:Ku80 silenced cells (HeLa/Ku80-siRNA) and control cells (HeLMNeg-siRNA) were transfected with siRNA targeting DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) or pretreated with 50μmol/L LY294002, a chemically specific inhibitor of DNA-PKcs. After the cells received 6MV X-ray irradiation, the radiosensitivity of the cells was detected by clony formation assay and cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results:The survival fraction at 2 Gy (SF2) value was 0. 08±0. 01 for HeLa/Ku80-siRNA cells after being transfected with DNA-PKcs siRNA ; the SF2 value reached 0.03 ± 0.01 when HeLa/Ku80-siRNA cells were pretreated with LY294002. Both of them were significantly lower than that of untreated HeLa/Ku80-siRNA cells (0.20 ± 0.05). The cells in all the groups were arrested in G2/M phase after irradiaton with 6 Gy X-ray. The G2/M arrest occurred slowly in the DNA-PKcs-siRNA-transfected HeLa/ Neg-siRNA cells and LY294002-pretreated HeLa/Ku80-siRNA and HeLa/Neg-siRNA cells, which did not reach the peak at 72 h postirradiation. The G2/M accumulation was maximal at 48 h post-irradiation in other cell lines. Conclusion:Based on 95% inhibition of Ku80 protein, DNA-PKcs or ataxia-telangiectasia mutant (ATM) gene could compensate the DSB repair function. Co-inhibition of these proteins led to increase in radiosensitivity of HeLa cells; Ku80, DNA-PKcs and ATM play different roles in G2/M arrest.
