单功能烷化剂MNNG对人胃粘膜上皮GES-1细胞的损伤及其对Wnt/β-catenin信号通路的影响

Injury of human gastric epithelial GES-1 cells by MNNG and its effects on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway

本文旨在从Wnt/β-catenin信号通路的角度探讨单功能烷化剂MNNG诱导人胃粘膜上皮GES-1细胞损伤的机制。用MNNG(2×10-5 mol/L)处理GES-1细胞24 h,处理后第3天用倒置显微镜对GES-1细胞形态进行观察,用MTT法检测GES-1细胞活力,用流式细胞术检测GES-1细胞凋亡和周期变化,用q PCR检测GES-1细胞中β-catenin、GSK-3β、c-Met和MMP7m RNA表达情况,用Western blot检测β-catenin、GSK-3β、p-GSK-3β和c-Met蛋白表达情况。结果显示:MNNG能够明显损伤GES-1细胞,细胞形态变为不规则的长梭形;MNNG能够诱导GES-1细胞凋亡,明显阻滞细胞周期进程;MNNG能够上调β-catenin、GSK-3β、c-Met和MMP7 m RNA表达水平,并上调β-catenin、GSK-3β和p-GSK-3β蛋白表达水平。上述结果提示,MNNG对GES-1细胞的损伤可能与Wnt/β-catenin信号通路的激活相关,这为胃粘膜损伤的细胞模型研究提供了参考。

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of mono-functional alkylating agent MNNG to damage human gastric epithelial GES-1 cells and roles of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in the process. The GES-1 cells were treated with MNNG（2 × 10-5 mol/L） for 24 h. The morphological changes of the GES-1 cells were observed under inverted microscope 2 d after treatment. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The apoptosis and cell cycle distribution of the GES-1 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The m RNA expressions of β-catenin, GSK-3β, c-Met and MMP7 in the GES-1 cells were detected by q PCR. The protein expressions of β-catenin, GSK-3β, p-GSK-3β and c-Met were determined by Western blot. The results showed that MNNG induced the injury of GES-1 cells and changed the normal cell morphology to irregular long spindle shape. MNNG induced the apoptosis of GES-1 cells and blocked the cell cycle progression obviously. MNNG up-regulated the m RNA expressions of β-catenin, GSK-3β, c-Met and MMP7, and increased the protein expressions of β-catenin, GSK-3β and p-GSK-3β. These results suggest that the damage of GES-1 cells induced by MNNG may be related to the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which will provide the basis for the study of cell model of gastric mucosal cell injury.
