激活转录因子5在肾癌细胞系中的表达及意义

Expression of activating transcription factor 5(ATF5) in renal cell carcinoma

目的 探讨新基因激活转录因子 5 (ATF5 )在不同肾癌细胞系中的表达及意义。 方法 采用RT PCR及Northernblot方法检测ATF5基因在肾癌细胞系A498、786 O、GRC I和胚肾细胞系2 93及正常肾小管上皮细胞系HK 2中的表达 ,计算机辅助图像分析结果。 结果 RT PCR检测ATF5在肾癌细胞系A498、786 O、GRC I和胚肾细胞系 2 93中呈强表达 ,其灰度面积吸光度A值分别为35 195 .2± 2 8.2、35 70 9.3± 18.3、370 38.5± 2 4.2、33 318.8± 34.2 ,而在正常肾小管上皮细胞系HK 2中表达较弱 ,灰度面积吸光度A值为 2 42 3.6± 3 .3,肾颗粒细胞癌细胞系GRC I中的表达是HK 2的 15倍 ,两者差异有显著性意义 (P <0 .0 1)。Northernblot检测ATF5在不同肾癌细胞系的表达结果与RT PCR方法检测结果一致。 结论 ATF5在肾癌发生和发展中具有一定作用 ,其致病机理可能与协同Wnt信号通路相关。

ObjectiveTo investigate the differential expression of ATF5--a novel gene fished out by yeast two hybrid from renal carcinoma library.MethodsRT-PCR and Northern blot was used to examine the expression level of ATF5 in renal cell line A498,786-O,GRC-I,293 and HK-2.The area absorbance value of ATF5 RNA was quantitative by computerized-imaging system.ResultsCompared with the controls,the expression level in renal cancer cell line(A498,786-O,GRC-I) and embryonal cell line (293)is much higher than that in the normal cell line HK-2.ConclusionsIt is indicated that ATF5 may play a significant role in the renal carcinogenesis through cross-talk with Wnt signal pathway.
