摘要:
目的 探讨扁塑藤素对人口腔鳞状细胞癌细胞CAL-27增殖能力的影响及其相关作用机制。 方法 CCK8检测不同浓度的扁塑藤素处理CAL-27细胞后的增殖生物活性,计算不同作用时间段所对应的药物浓度水平(IC50);细胞集落形成实验检测CAL-27细胞克隆形成能力;蛋白质印迹法检测细胞增殖指标PCNA以及相关自噬通量BECLIN1、LC3B-II、LC3B-I蛋白表达水平;扁塑藤素联合自噬激动剂雷帕霉素(RAPA)处理CAL-27细胞,蛋白质印迹法检测PCNA以及相关自噬通量BECLIN1、LC3B-II、LC3B-I蛋白表达水平。 结果 较于空白组,各浓度梯度的扁塑藤素可抑制CAL-27细胞活力(P < 0.05),具有浓度-时间依耐性;相较于空白组,经扁塑藤素处理后细胞中PCNA、BECLIN1、LC3B-II/LC3B-I蛋白表达水平都出现明显上调(P < 0.05);扁塑藤素联合自噬激活剂雷帕霉素(RAPA)处理CAL-27细胞相较于仅使用扁塑藤素组细胞活性有所增强(P < 0.05),PCNA、BECLIN1、LC3B-II/LC3B-I蛋白的表达水平均出现明显上调(P < 0.05)。 结论 扁塑藤素在体外能够比较显著抑制口腔鳞状癌系CAL-27细胞的增殖,这可能与其下调自噬相关基因BECLIN1、LC3B-II、LC3B-I的表达相关。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of pristimerin on the proliferation ability of human oral squamous cell carcinoma cells CAL-27 and its related mechanisms. Methods CCK-8 assay was performed to determine the proliferative bioactivity of CAL-27 cells treated with different concentrations of pristimerin, and the IC50 was calculated for different time periods. Colony formation assay was used to detect the cloning ability of CAL-27 cells. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of the proliferation marker PCNA and the autophagy flux markers BECLIN1, LC3B-II, and LC3B-I. CAL-27 cells were treated with pristimerin in combination with the autophagy inducer rapamycin (RAPA), and Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of PCNA and the autophagy flux markers BECLIN1, LC3B-II, and LC3B-I. Results Compared with the blank group, the pristimerin at various concentration gradients can inhibit the viability of CAL-27 cells (P < 0.05), and it exhibits concentration-time dependence. Compared with the blank group, the expression levels of PCNA, BECLIN1 and LC3B-II/LC3B-I proteins in cells were significantly upregulated after treatment with the pristimerin (P < 0.05). Compared with the group treated with only the pristimerin, the combined treatment of the pristimerin with the autophagy activator rapamycin (RAPA) enhanced the cell activity of CAL-27 cells (P < 0.05), and the expression levels of PCNA, BECLIN1, and LC3B-II/LC3B-I proteins were significantly upregulated (P < 0.05). Conclusion Pristimerin significantly inhibits the proliferation of CAL-27 oral squamous carcinoma cells in vitro, which may be associated with downregulation of autophagy-related genes BECLIN1, LC3B-II, and LC3B-I. -
