摘要
背景与目的:COX-2在胶质瘤的发生发展过程中发挥重要作用,近年来发现COX-2抑制剂对一些胶质瘤细胞有增强放射敏感性的作用。本研究的目的在于观察人恶性脑胶质瘤细胞的COX-2蛋白表达和COX-1/COX-2双重抑制剂对乙酰氨基酚(acetaminophen,ACE)对细胞COX-2mRNA表达、克隆形成率和细胞周期的影响,并探讨ACE提高胶质瘤细胞放射敏感性的机制。方法:选用人恶性脑胶质瘤细胞株SHG-44作为研究对象。免疫细胞化学和RT-PCR检测细胞COX-2表达,成克隆分析法测定对乙酰氨基酚对细胞的放射增敏作用,流式细胞仪检测细胞周期分布。结果:免疫细胞化学染色SHG-44细胞的胞膜和胞质均有COX-2蛋白表达。RT-PCR检测对乙酰氨基酚作用后细胞中COX-2mRNA表达降低。对乙酰氨基酚联合放疗作用于SHG-44细胞与单纯照射组相比,显示了放射增敏作用,增敏比为1.23(D0值水平)或1.43(Dq值水平)。细胞周期检测发现,不同时间各组细胞都出现了不同的周期分布,照射后12h单纯照射组和放射加药组G2/M期细胞明显多于对照组,24h后单纯照射组迅速下降到与对照组相等的水平,而放射加药组仍维持较高比例(P<0.01),同时对放射抗拒的S期细胞比例最低。结论:人恶性脑胶质瘤细胞株SHG-44的胞膜和胞质均有COX-2蛋白表达,对乙酰氨基酚能增加该细胞株的放射敏感性,其机制可能与抑制COX-2表达、改变细胞周期分布有关。
Background and purpose:COX-2 plays an important role in the progress of glioma.Recently some studies show COX-2 inhibitors enhance the response of glioma to irradiation.The aim of this paper is to observe the expression of COX-2 in the human glioma cell and the effects of acetaminophen(ACE),a non-selective cyclooxygenase(COX)-2 inhibitor,on the SHG-44 cells in terms of the expression of COX-2 mRNA、clone efficiency and cell cycle.The mechanism of the radiosensitivity enhancement by the affection of ACE was also investigated.Methods:The human glioma cell SHG-44 was used as cell model.COX-2 mRNA and protein expression of SHG-44 were detected by RT-PCR and immunocytochemisty staining.Clongenic assay was used for radiation survival estimate.The cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:COX-2 protein expression in cytoplasm and cell membrane of SHG-44 cells were demonstrated by the immunocytochemisty staining experiment.Lower expression of COX-2 mRNA in the SHG-44 cells was observed when cells were incubated with 1mmol/L acetaminophen.Acetaminophen could enhance tumor cell to irradiation,SER was 1.23(D0)or 1.43(Dq)by clonogenic assay.The G2/M arrest in R and R+A groups were significant as compared to group C after 12 hr treatment(P〈0.01),but the percentage of G2/M phase cells in R group decreased rapidly after 24 hr treatment and was the same as C group(P〉0.05),while the percentage of G2/M phase cells in R+A group still maintained a high leval(P〈0.01).Conclusions:There was expression of COX-2 in human glioma cell SHG-44.Acetaminophen significantly enhances radiosensitivity of SHG-44 glioma cells,probably via COX-2 inhibition,G2/M arrest or other mechanisms.
