摘要
目的研究LIN28A基因在肝肿瘤细胞及二乙基亚硝胺(DEN)诱导的大鼠原发性肝癌中的表达变化,揭示其在肝癌发生发展过程中的作用。方法利用实时荧光定量PCR(RT-PCR)检测肝癌细胞及DEN诱导的大鼠原发性肝癌模型中LIN28A信使核糖核酸(mRNA)的表达;以携带LIN28A的慢病毒(lentivirus)载体感染肝癌细胞,侵袭小室实验(transwell assay)检测过表达LIN28A对肿瘤细胞转移能力的影响。结果 RT-PCR结果显示,LIN28A在肝癌细胞及大鼠原发性肝癌中表达量上调;侵袭小室实验表明,过表达LIN28A能明显提高肝癌细胞的迁移和侵袭能力。结论 LIN28A在肝癌细胞中的表达升高,对肝癌细胞的转移能力具有促进作用。
Objective To analyze the mRNA levels of LIN28A in liver cancer cell lines and DEN-induced rat hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) samples,and study the function of LIN28A in tumorigenesis of HCC.Methods Examine the mRNA expression of LIN28A gene in liver cancer cells and DEN-induced rat HCC samples by real-time PCR.Detect the effect of LIN28A on cell migration and invasion of HCC.Results Real-time PCR showed that the expression of LIN28A was upregulated in twelve liver cancer cell lines and DEN-induced rat HCC.Transwell assay revealed that LIN28A overexpression significantly enhanced the cell migration and invasion of HCC.Conclusion Upregulation of LIN28A may be important for metastasis of HCC.
