摘要
目的:探讨过表达WNT5B对人乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞迁移和侵袭能力的影响,并分析其可能的作用机制。方法:将含增强型绿色荧光蛋白(enhanced greenuorescent protein,EGFP)基因的WNT5B过表达重组载体pcDNA3.1-WNT5B+EGFP转染人乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞后,采用实时荧光定量PCR法和蛋白质印迹法分别检测细胞中WNT5B mRNA及蛋白的表达水平,划痕愈合实验和Transwell小室法检测细胞的迁移和侵袭能力,蛋白质印迹法检测上皮-间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition,EMT)相关分子标志物N-cadherin、E-cadherin和Vimentin的表达。结果:与未转染组和转染空载体组相比,转染WNT5B过表达载体组MDA-MB-231细胞中WNT5B mRNA(P <0.01)和蛋白(P <0.05)表达水平明显上调;过表达WNT5B后,MDA-MB-231细胞的迁移(P <0.05)和侵袭(P <0.01)能力明显下降,E-cadherin的表达水平明显上调(P <0.05),N-cadherin和Vimentin的表达水平均明显下调(P值均<0.05)。结论:过表达WNT5B可抑制人乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞的迁移和侵袭,这种变化可能与其调控EMT的进程有关。
Objective: To investigate the effects of WNT5 B over-expression on the invasion and migration of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells,and to explore its possible mechanisms.Methods: After the recombinant vector pcDNA3.1-WNT5 B+EGFP containing enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) and WNT 5 B genes was transfected into human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells, the expression levels of WNT5 B mRNA and protein were examined by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The abilities ofcell migration and invasion were analyzed by wound-healing test and Transwell chamber assay,respectively. Furthermore, the expression levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related molecules N-cadherin, E-cadherin and Vimentin were detected by Western blotting.Results: Compared with the untransfection and the empty vector-transfection groups, the expression levels of WNT5 B mRNA(P < 0.01) and protein(P < 0.05) in MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with the recombinant vector pcDNA3.1-WNT5 B+EGFP were up-regulated. The abilities of migration(P < 0.05) and invasion(P < 0.01) of MDA-MB-231 cells after WNT5 B over-expression were significantly decreased. The expression level of E-cadherin in MDAMB-231 cells with WNT5 B over-expression was up-regulated(P < 0.05), whereas the expression levels of N-cadherin and Vimentin were down-regulated(both P < 0.05).Conclusion: WNT5 B over-expression can inhibit the migration and invasion of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells, which may be related to the regulation of EMT process.
