摘要
目的:观察肝X受体(LXR)激动剂T0901317对人乳腺癌细胞MDA-MB-231凋亡的作用及其机制。方法:不同浓度(0、10、20、40μmol/L)T0901317处理人乳腺癌MDA-MB-231细胞不同时间(0、12、24、48 h),用Hoechst 33342染色及流式Annexin V-FITC/PI双染法检测细胞凋亡;Western blot进一步检测细胞凋亡相关蛋白Bcl-2、cleaved caspase-3和LXRα的表达,RT-q PCR检测Bcl-2和LXRα的mRNA表达。结果:随着T0901317处理浓度的增加和时间的延长,凋亡现象逐渐明显。进一步通过Western blot检测发现,T0901317可下调Bcl-2蛋白表达,cleaved caspase-3表达增多,而LXRα的表达上调;RT-q PCR检测结果也显示,T0901317可下调Bcl-2 mRNA表达,而上调LXRα表达。结论:T0901317能上调LXRα表达,从而促进MDA-MB-231细胞凋亡。
AIM: To investigate the pro-apoptotic effect of T0901317,an artificial agonist of liver X receptor α( LXRα),on human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and its mechanism. METHODS: MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with different concentrations( 0,10,20 and 40 μmol / L) of T0901317 for different time( 0,12,24 and 48 h). The cell apoptosis was determined by Annexin V / propidium iodide staining and Hoechst 33342 staining. The expression of apoptosisrelated proteins,such as Bcl-2,caspase 3 and cleaved caspase-3,and LXRα was determined by Western blot. The mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and LXRα was analyzed by RT-q PCR. RESULTS: T0901317 induced the cell apoptosis in a dose-and time- dependent manner. The expression of cleaved caspase-3 and LXRα was up-regulated,but Bcl-2 was down-regulated by T0901317. The mRNA expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated,while LXRα was up-regulated by T0901317. CONCLUSION: T0901317 up-regulates LXRα expression and induces the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells.
