摘要
目的观察环氧化酶-2(COX-2)RNA干扰对肺癌细胞凋亡的影响,以及对凋亡调控蛋白caspase-8、caspase-9、caspase-3的调控作用。方法构建COX-2特异性干扰质粒,并转染至肺癌A549细胞株中,Annexin V-FITC/PI联合流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡,Western Blot检测caspase-8、caspase-9、caspase-3的活性。结果成功构建COX-2特异性干扰质粒并转染至肺癌A549细胞株中,获得抑制COX-2表达的肺癌细胞模型;干扰COX-2的A549细胞凋亡率[(24.3±2.46)%]较未干扰组[(6.52±0.13)%]明显升高(P<0.01)。干扰COX-2的肺癌细胞A549caspase-8蛋白表达(0.86±0.09)较未干扰组(0.12±0.01)明显升高(P<0.01),caspase-3蛋白表达(0.94±0.09)较未干扰组(0.16±0.02)明显升高(P<0.01),caspase-9蛋白表达(1.12±0.11)较未干扰组(0.13±0.01)明显升高(P<0.01)。结论干扰COX-2可以促进肺癌A549细胞的凋亡,并且活化caspase-8及caspase-9,从而活化caspase-3。
Objective To observe the effects of COX-2 RNA interference (RNAi) to apoptosis of A549 cells and the expression of caspase-8/9/3. Methods The COX-2 specific RNAi plasmid was constructed and transfected into A549 cells. The cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI combined with flow eytometry and the levels of caspase-8/9/3 were detected by Western Blot. Results The COX-2 specific RNAi plasmid was constructed and transfected into A549 cells, and then the cell model of interferenced COX-2 expression was obtained. The apoptosis rate in interferenced group(24. 3± 2.46% )was significant higher than that in non-interfereneed group(6. 52 ± 0. 13% ) ( P 〈 0. 01 ). Western-blot detection demonstrated that the expression of caspase-8 protein in interferenced group (0.86 ± 0. 09) was obvious higher than that in control group ( 0. 12 ± 0. 01 ) ( P 〈 0. 01 ), the expression of caspase-3 protein in interferenced group (0.94 ± 0.09 ) was obvious higher than that in control group ( 0. 16 ± 0. 02 ) ( P 〈 0. 01 ) and the expression of caspase-9 protein in interferenced group ( 1.12 ± 0. 11 ) was obvious higher than that in control group(0. 13 ± 0. 01 )(P 〈 0. 01 ). Conclusions COX-2 RNAi enhanced apoptosis of A549 cells and strengthened the expression of caspase-8/9/3 in A549 cells.
