目的:探讨顺铂(顺式二氨二氯铂)(c i sdichlorodiamineplatinum,DDP)对人结肠癌Caco-2细胞凋亡及相关蛋白Bcl-2、Caspase9、Caspase3表达的影响.方法:体外培养结肠癌Caco-2细胞;检测不同浓度DDP干预下MTT染色的A值,判定其对人结肠癌细...目的:探讨顺铂(顺式二氨二氯铂)(c i sdichlorodiamineplatinum,DDP)对人结肠癌Caco-2细胞凋亡及相关蛋白Bcl-2、Caspase9、Caspase3表达的影响.方法:体外培养结肠癌Caco-2细胞;检测不同浓度DDP干预下MTT染色的A值,判定其对人结肠癌细胞恶性增殖的影响;不同浓度D D P对人结肠癌细胞凋亡的影响使用流式细胞仪进行检测,Western blot检测不同浓度DDP对人结肠癌细胞内Bcl-2蛋白的表达;应用分光光度法检测不同浓度DDP对人结肠癌细胞内Caspase9、Caspase3蛋白活性的影响.结果:(1)癌细胞增殖结果显示,在一定的作用时间范围内,Caco-2细胞存活率与DDP浓度呈负相关,具有剂量依赖性,其中4.000、2.000μg/m L干预的各组细胞抑制率最显著,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05).而低剂量组0.250、0.125μg/m L及对照DMSO干预组细胞存活率比较差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05),其细胞存活率明显高于其他各浓度组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);(2)流式细胞仪检测结果显示:DDP能诱导Caco-2细胞的凋亡,其诱导凋亡的效果呈时间和剂量性依赖;(3)Western blot检测结果显示:Bcl-2蛋白在结肠癌Caco-2细胞中低表达,DDP干预Caco-2细胞72 h后,与对照组比较,Bcl-2蛋白表达明显下降(P<0.05).Caspase9、Caspase3在Caco-2细胞中低表达,DDP干预Caco-2细胞48、72 h后,与对照组比较,Caspase9、Caspase3表达明显升高(P<0.01).结论:顺铂可以抑制Caco-2细胞增殖、诱导Caco-2细胞凋亡,其机制可能与活化Caco-2细胞中Caspase9、Caspase3蛋白以及抑制Bcl-2蛋白表达有关.展开更多
