文摘目的研究茶黄素调节Snail/Slug信号通路对口腔鳞癌(OSCC)细胞增殖、凋亡和上皮间质转化的影响。方法采用MTT法检测25、50、100、150、175 mg/L茶黄素处理的人OSCC细胞SCC-25存活率,筛选出茶黄素的合适作用浓度。体外培养SCC-25细胞并构建OSCC移植瘤模型,分为对照组、茶黄素低剂量组、茶黄素高剂量组、茶黄素高剂量+空载组、茶黄素高剂量+Snail过表达组。采用实时荧光定量PCR与免疫印迹检测各组细胞Snail、Slug表达;采用MTT法与流式细胞术分别检测各组细胞增殖、凋亡;采用细胞划痕与Transwell侵袭实验分别检测各组SCC-25细胞迁移、侵袭;采用免疫印迹检测各组SCC-25细胞凋亡及上皮间质转化相关蛋白表达;检测各组裸鼠肿瘤体积、肿瘤质量。结果与对照组相比,茶黄素低剂量组、茶黄素高剂量组细胞存活率、迁移率、侵袭数、Snail mRNA及蛋白表达、Slug m RNA及蛋白表达、Bcl-2、N-cadherin蛋白表达、裸鼠肿瘤质量及体积均降低(P<0.05),细胞凋亡率、Bax、ZO-1及E-cadherin蛋白表达均升高(P<0.05),高剂量茶黄素作用更强。与茶黄素高剂量组相比,茶黄素高剂量+空载组各指标差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);过表达Snail可逆转茶黄素对细胞及裸鼠各指标的影响。结论茶黄素可下调Snail/Slug通路蛋白表达,从而抑制OSCC细胞的上皮间质转化、增殖、迁移及侵袭,促使其凋亡,并可延缓裸鼠移植瘤的生长。
