摘要
目的 GC结合因子2(GCF2)是一种转录抑制因子,通过特异性结合富含GC序列的基因启动子而抑制该基因转录。文中通过靶向沉默GCF2基因表达观察GCF2对人肝癌细胞BEL-7404细胞周期的影响。方法将细胞分为空白对照组、阴性对照组及GCF2-siRNA组。空白对照组不转染任何序列,阴性对照组转染阴性对照序列,GCF2-siRNA组转染靶向GCF2基因的GCF2-siRNA序列以沉默GCF2在肝癌BEL-7404细胞中的表达。CCK-8法和流式细胞术分别检测沉默GCF2对细胞增殖和周期的影响,Western blot检测细胞周期蛋白cyclin D1及cyclin E、细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶Cdk2及Cdk4蛋白表达。结果 GCF2下调后,GCF2-siRNA组细胞增殖在转染24、48、72和96 h受到不同程度抑制,抑制率分别为27.3%,43.6%,33.5%和29.7%,以转染48 h抑制率最高。与GCF2-siRNA组G1期百分比[(61.50±0.47)%]比较,空白对照组、阴性对照组[(45.50±0.75)%、(47.30±2.44)%]均下降(P<0.05);与GCF2-siRNA组S期百分比[(21.30±1.23)%]比较,空白对照组、阴性对照组[(37.00±1.80)%、(34.50±1.86)%]均升高(P<0.05)。转染48 h后,GCF2-siRNA组cyclin E和Cdk2蛋白相对表达量明显低于阴性对照组和空白对照组(P<0.05)。结论下调GCF2表达引起BEL-7404细胞周期阻滞,提示GCF2对肝癌细胞周期影响可能是其参与肝癌发生发展的重要途径。
Objective GC binding factor 2 ( GCF2) is a transcriptional factor that negatively regulates the transcription of PDGF-A, EGFR and TNF-α by specially binding totheir promoters enriching GC sequences. The goal of this study was to observe the effect of targeted GCF2 gene silencing on cell cycle of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line BEL-7404. Methods BEL-7404 cells were divided into three groups : MOCK group ( transfected with nothing),NC-siRNA group ( transfected with negative control siR- NA) and GCF2-siRNA group (transfected with the siRNA targeting GCF2 mRNA to inhibit the expression of GCF2 in the hepatoma cell BEL-7404). Cell proliferation was determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 , cell cycle by flow cytometry, and protein expression of cyclinDl, cyclinE and Cdk2/4 by western blotting. Results After GCF2 down- regulation ,cell proliferation was inhibited at varying degrees in GCF2-siRNA group at 24,4 8 ,72 and 96 h after tmnsfected. The inMbition rates were 27.3%, 4 3.6%,33.5% and 29.7% and the rate was highest at 48 h. The percentage of cells in G1 phase increased in GCF2-siRNA group compared with that in NC-siRNA group and MOCK group[ (61.5±0.47)% , (47.3±2.44) % and (45.5±0.75) %, respectively] (P〈0.05) , and the percentage of cells in S phase decreased in GCF2-siRNA group compared with the NC-siRNA group and MOCK group [(21.30±01.23)% , (3 4 .5 0 ± 1 .8 6)% and (37.00±1.80) % ,respectively] (P〈0.05) The cyclinE and Cdk2 protein expression reduced remarkably in GCF2-siRNA group at 48 h after transfection compared with NC-siRNA group and MOCK group (P〈0.05). Conclusion Down-regulation of GCF2 could suppress cell proliferation and cause cell cycle arrest in BEL-7404, which suggest that GCF2 plays a vital role in the development of HCC by affecting cell cycle.
