摘要
目的通过下调α5-烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体(α5-nAChR)的表达,体外研究尼古丁促肺癌细胞增殖过程中α5-nAChR对缺氧诱导因子(HIF-1α)表达的影响。方法以不同浓度尼古丁作用人肺腺癌细胞株A549,分别采用实时荧光定量PCR和Western blotting检测A549细胞中α5-nAChR、HIF-1αmRNA和蛋白的表达。MTT法、实时荧光定量PCR、Western blotting检测CHRNA5-siRNA转染后,尼古丁促A549细胞增殖的作用和HIF-1α表达的变化。结果尼古丁浓度为1μmol/L时,α5-nAChR和HIF-1α表达明显升高(P<0.05),二者表达呈尼古丁浓度依赖性。CHRNA5-siRNA转染显著抑制α5-nAChR、HIF-1α表达(P<0.05),尼古丁促A549细胞增殖的作用明显受到抑制(P<0.05)。结论α5-nAchR通过调节HIF-1α的表达,在尼古丁促肺癌细胞增殖中起作用,提示α5-nAChR/HIF-1α信号轴可能是吸烟相关性肺癌发生的重要分子机制之一。
Objective To explore the influence of small interfering RNA (siRNA) down-regulated ct5-nicotinic acetyl- choline receptor (ct5-nAChR) expression on hypoxia-induced factor-1 ct ( HIF-1 α ) expression during the process of nico- tine-induced lung cancer A549 cell proliferation in vitro. Methods Expressions of ctS-nAChR and HIF-l~ at mRNA and protein levels in A549 cells were detected by FQ-PCR and Western blotting after treatment with various concentra- tions of nicotine. After CHRNAS-siRNA transfection, nicotine-induced A549 cell proliferation and expression of HIF- 1 oL were detected by MTT, FQ-PCR and Western blotting respectively. Results Expressions of ctS-nAChR and HIF- 1 cx were significantly enhanced with 1 txmol/L nicotine treatment compared with the other concentrations ( P 〈 0.05 ), which presented a nicotine dose-dependent manner. After CHRNA5-siRNA transfection, the expressions of α5-nAChR mRNA and protein decreased obviously( P 〈 0.05 ). Nicotine-induced A549 cell proliferation was significantly inhibited ( P 〈 0.05). Conclusion a5-nAchR plays an important role in nicotine-induced A549 cell proliferation via regulating HIF-I a expression, which suggests that α5-nAChR/HIF-1 oL axis may be one of the important molecular mechanisms for nicotine-related lung cancer.
