摘要
背景:肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)相关凋亡诱导配体(TRAIL)可特异性诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡,但部分肿瘤细胞对TRAIL不敏感甚至耐药。目的:探讨X连锁凋亡抑制蛋白(XIAP)相关因子1(XAF1)是否可增加TRAIL诱导的肝癌细胞株凋亡的敏感性。方法:重组人TRAIL(rhTRAIL)因子分别加入3株肝癌细胞株SMMC7721、HepG2和Bel-7404中培养,联合或不联合相同感染复数(MOI)的重组腺病毒Ad5/F35-XAF1和对照空病毒Ad5/F35-Null。作用48h后,以MTT检测细胞活力,以AnnexinV—FITC/PI法检测细胞凋亡率。结果:随着TRAIL浓度的增加,3株肝癌细胞株的细胞活力均不同程度降低。TRAIL与Ad5/F35-XAFI联合作用后,其细胞活力显著低于单独TRAIL组,而Ad5/F35-Null组细胞活力与单独TRAIL组无明显差异。与空白对照组和Ad5/F35-Null组相比.TRAIL组和Ad5/F35-XAF1组3株肝癌细胞株的凋亡率均显著增加。TRAIL与Ad5/F35-XAF1联合作用后.细胞凋亡率显著高于Ad5/F35-XAF1组或TRAIL组。结论:XAF1可明显增加TRAIL诱导的肝癌细胞凋亡的敏感性.两者联合应用对诱导不同肝癌细胞凋亡具有协同作用。
Background: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can specifically induce apoptosis of tumor cells, but a portion of tumor cells are less sensitive or even resistant to TRAIL. Aims: To investigate the effect of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP)-associated factor 1 (XAF1) on sensitizing TRAIL-induced apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. Methods: Recombinant human TRAIL (rhTRAIL) was co-cultured with 3 hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines SMMC7721, HepG2 and Bel-7404, with or without the addition of recombinant adenovirus AdS/F35-XAF1 or control empty virus AdS/F35-Null at the same multiplicity of infection (MOI). MTT assay was used to evaluate cell viability. Cell apoptosis was determined by Annexin V-FITC/PI. Results: With the increasing concentration of TRAIL, cell viability of 3 hepatoeellular carcinoma cell lines was decreased in all groups. Compared with TRAIL group, cell viability of 3 hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines was significantly decreased when TRAIL was combined with AdS/F35-XAF1, but no significant differeuce was found between TRAIL group and TRAIL combined with AdS/F35-Null group. The apoptosis rates of 3 hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines were significantly increased in TRAIL group and AdS/F35-XAF1 group than those in control empty group and AdS/F35-Null group. Compared with AdS/F35- XAF1 group or TRAIL group, cell apoptosis was rapidly enhanced when TRAIL combined with AdS/F35-XAF1. Conclusions: XAF1 may increase the sensitivity of TRAIL-induced cell apoptosis. Combined use of XAF1 and TRAIL may have synergistic effect on inducing the apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
