摘要
目的探讨miR-34a的表达与细胞、组织辐射敏感性的关系。方法采用RT-PCR检测辐射前后不同组织、细胞中miR-34a的表达量;利用流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡率,MTT法检测细胞活力;在肿瘤细胞U87MG中转染miR-34amimics上调miR-34a的表达并检测其细胞活力;在正常细胞HEK293中转染miR-34a inhibitors下调miR-34a的表达水平并检测其细胞凋亡率。结果照前辐射敏感性高的细胞miR-34a表达水平高,辐射敏感性低的细胞miR-34a表达水平低;照后辐射敏感性高的细胞miR-34a表达上调幅度远高于辐射敏感性低的细胞。上调miR-34a表达水平使得肿瘤细胞U87MG照后细胞活力降低,下调miR-34a表达使得正常细胞HEK293照后细胞凋亡率降低。结论细胞辐射敏感性与miR-34a的表达水平正相关,辐射敏感性高的细胞照后miR-34a的表达上调幅度更大;上调miR-34a表达水平对肿瘤细胞U87MG有明显的辐射增敏作用,下调miR-34a表达对正常细胞HEK293有明显的辐射防护作用。
Objective To investigate the relationship between miR-34a expression and the irradiation-sensitivity of cells and tissues.Methods RT-PCR was used to detect the miR-34a expression in different cells and tissues before and after irradiation;flow cytometry was employed to examine the apoptosis of cells and MTT assay was used to observe the cell viability.The U87MG tumor cells were transfected with miR-34a mimics to promote miR-34a expression and the cell viability was observed 24 h later.The HEK293 renal epithelial cells were transfected with miR-34a inhibitors to decrease miR-34a expression and the cells apoptosis was observed 24 h later.Results The expression of miR-34a was higher in highly irradiation-sensitive cells than in lowly irradiation-sensitive cells before irradiation;the increase of miR-34a expression was greatly higher in highly irradiation-sensitive cells than in lowly irradiation-sensitive cells 24 h after irradiation.The up-regulation of miR-34a decreased the viability of U87MG tumor cells,and down-regulation of miR-34a decreased the apoptosis of HEK293 cells.Conclusion The irradiation-sensitivity of cells is positively associated with miR-34a;cells with high irradiation-sensitivity have a greater up-regulation of miR-34a expression after irradiation.Increased miR-34a expression can noticeably increase the irradiation-sensitivity of U87MG tumor cells and decreased miR-34a expression has a irradiation prevention effect on normal HEK293 cells.
