目的:探讨miR-34a在肺癌组织中的表达情况以及miR-34a在肺癌细胞侵袭和迁移过程中的作用及其机制。方法:qPCR检测肺癌和正常肺组织中miR-34a的表达情况;使用miR-34a-mimic和miR-34a-inhibitor过表达和沉默miR-34a,qPCR检测沉默和过表达效果;Western blot检测沉默和过表达miR-34a后Snail蛋白的表达情况;荧光素酶报告基因检测miR-34a与Snail的相互作用;Transwell侵袭实验检测miR-34a的表达对肺癌细胞侵袭能力的影响;划痕实验检测miR-34a的表达对肺癌细胞迁移能力的影响;Western blot检测E-Cadherin、Vimentin和Twist蛋白的表达情况。结果:与正常肺组织相比,肺癌组织中miR-34a表达明显降低;且晚期、低分化和有淋巴结转移的肺癌组织miR-34a表达明显较早期、高分化和无淋巴结转移的肺癌组织低;miR-34a-mimic和miR-34a-inhibitor可以有效抑制和过表达miR-34a的表达;miR-34a能与Snail的3′ UTR特异性结合;miR-34a可以调控肺癌H1650细胞的侵袭迁移能力;过表达miR-34a上调E-Cadherin,同时下调Vimentin和Twist蛋白的表达,沉默miR-34a则相反。结论:miR-34a在肺癌中表达明显降低,且跟肺癌分期分级以及淋巴结转移与否密切相关,同时miR-34a可以通过上皮间质转化调节肺癌细胞侵袭和迁移能力。

肺癌是世界上发病率最高的恶性肿瘤。肺癌也是我国发病率和死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤[1]。全球每年有超过160万新发病例,占所有新发肿瘤的12.7%。同时肺癌也是死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤,每年有超过140万肺癌患者死亡,占所有肿瘤死亡人数的19%[2]。虽然近年来肺癌治疗手段不断进步,但是肺癌患者尤其是晚期肺癌患者的五年生存率仍然很低。局部复发、淋巴结转移以及远处转移是导致患者死亡的主要原因[3]。

肿瘤转移是个多步骤,多阶段的复杂过程,主要包括局部浸润、浸入血管、随血液循环系统转移并在其中存活、移出血管和在新的部位定居并增殖,而肿瘤转移的第一步是细胞与细胞间黏附的破裂[4,5]。Snail是近年发现的锌指转录因子,是肿瘤进展过程中一个重要的调节子,可以促进肿瘤浸润和转移的因子[6]。Burton等[7]研究表明,Snail与乳腺癌组织分期和分级、淋巴结转移的情况密切相关。Palma等[8]发现,Snail的高表达可以促进上皮间质转化的发生,从而促进肿瘤细胞的侵袭和迁移。

miRNA是高度保守的非编码RNA,通过调控相应基因的表达,参与细胞的增殖、凋亡、细胞分化等生物学行为,同时也可参与恶性肿瘤的侵袭、迁移、肿瘤微环境的调节以及肿瘤干细胞的调控等[9,10]。许多研究表明,miR-34a的缺失可能与肝癌、乳腺癌和结肠癌等肿瘤发生和发展密切相关[11-13]。但是miR-34a在肺癌发生发展过程中机制不甚明确。故本研究拟探讨miR-34a在肺癌中的表达情况,以及在肺癌转移过程中的作用及机制。

2.6 miR-34a可以抑制人肺癌细胞H1650的侵袭能力 细胞侵袭穿过Matrigel的能力可以反映细胞的侵袭能力。Transwell结果显示:NC组通过Matrigel基质胶的细胞数量为(346.57±28.70),明显多于miR-34a-mimic组(131.92±13.80),差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)(图5A);NC组通过Matrigel基质胶的细胞数量为(72.57±3.20),明显少于miR-34a-mimic组(406.57±31.90),差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)(图5B),表明miR-34a可以抑制人肺癌细胞H1650的侵袭能力。

2.7 miR-34a可以抑制人肺癌细胞H1650的迁移能力 在显微镜下分别测量0、24、48、72 h时,各组细胞任意三个部位的划痕的宽度,迁移率=[D(t=24,48,72 h)-D(t=0 h)]/D(t=0 h)。划痕实验结果表明:与NC组相比,在24、48、72 h时,miR-34a-mimic组迁移率明显降低[24 h (54.51±3.15)% vs (13.07±1.12)%,P<0.05;48 h (77.51±5.35)% vs (33.24±2.23)%,P<0.05;72 h (84.22±7.12)% vs (48.21±4.27)%,P<0.01],差异有统计学意义(图6A);与NC组相比,在24、48、72 h时,miR-34a-inhibitor组迁移率明显增高[24 h (55.83±6.25)% vs (14.02±1.29)%,P<0.05;48 h (78.52±5.18)% vs (32.55±2.18)%,P<0.05;72 h (86.52±8.49)% vs (38.23±4.42)%,P<0.01],差异有统计学意义(图6B),表明miR-34a可以抑制人肺癌细胞H1650的迁移能力。

2.8 miR-34a可以调节E-cadherin、Vimentin和Twist的表达 许多研究表明,上皮间质转化在上皮性肿瘤的侵袭和迁移中激活,是上皮性肿瘤细胞获得侵袭性的关键分子事件,在恶性肿瘤的侵袭和迁移中发挥重要的作用[14]。而E-Cadherin蛋白是上皮间质转化过程中上皮性标志物,而Vimentin和Twist蛋白为上皮间质转化过程中间质性标志物。

Western blot结果显示:与NC组相比,miR-34a-mimic组中Vimentin、Twist蛋白表达水平明显下降[Vimentin (0.12±0.01)% vs (0.82±0.06)%,Twist (0.11±0.02)% vs (0.72±0.06)%,P<0.05],但E-Cadherin表达水平明显增高[(0.76±0.05)% vs (0.22±0.02)% ,P<0.05]。与NC组相比,miR-34a-inhibitor组中Vimentin、Twist蛋白表达水平明显增高[Vimentin (0.13±0.01)% vs (0.92±0.08)%;Twist (0.12±0.02)% vs (0.68±0.06)%,P<0.05],但E-Cadherin表达水平明显降低[(0.83±0.06)% vs (0.21±0.02)% ,P<0.05]。表明miR-34a可以调节E-cadherin、Vimentin和Twist的表达,表明miR-34a可以促进肺癌细胞的上皮间质转化,见图7。

3 讨论

miRNA是一类内源性的、高度保守的非编码单链RNA,广泛存在于植物和多细胞动物的基因组中[15]。成熟的miRNA经过Drosha和Dicer酶剪切,可以与靶基因的3-UTR区结合降解或者抑制靶基因的翻译[16]。miR-34a的编码基因位于染色体1p36,研究表明,miR-34a受p53的直接调控,p54的低表达或者功能异常可以降低对miR-34a转录的刺激信号,从而降低miR-34a的表达,从而影响下游靶基因发挥生物学功能[17,18]。Garofalo等[19]使用miR-34a-mimic转染非小细胞肺癌细胞系进行转染,发现肺癌细胞的增殖能力明显减弱。Gougelet等[20]对肝癌组织中miR-34a的表达分析发现,肝癌组织中miR-34a的表达水平明显降低,且跟肝癌分期和患者不良预后密切相关。

本研究通过检测肺癌和正常肺组织中miR-34a的表达发现,肺癌组织中miR-34a的表达明显降低,miR-34a的表达水平随肺癌病理分期的增加而降低;随分化程度的降低,miR-34a的表达水平逐渐降低;有淋巴结转移的肺癌组织中,miR-34a的表达明显降低,表明miR-34a在肺癌组织中起抑癌作用。

上皮间质转化发生于多种生理和病理过程中,表现为上皮标记基因的表达与细胞间黏附力的丧失,间质标记基因、细胞迁移与运动力的获得和细胞形态的改变[21]。E-cadherin是维持上皮细胞结构极性和完整性的糖蛋白,对于维持细胞与细胞间的黏附能力非常重要。许多研究表明,E-cadherin在许多恶性肿瘤中表达低下,且E-cadherin的低表达与肿瘤侵袭、迁移和不良预后密切相关。而Snail是E-cadherin的抑制子,可以负性调节E-cadherin的表达[22]。Chen等[23]在肝癌中的研究发现,Snail高表达的肿瘤组织中,E-cadherin表达常常下降,同时与肿瘤转移密切相关。

本研究通过使用miR-34a-mimic和miR-34a-inhibitor后,Snail表达明显降低和提高,使用荧光素酶报告基因检测miR-34a和Snail相互作用发现,miR-34a能与Snail的3′ UTR特异性结合。Transwell和划痕实验表明,miR-34a可以调控肺癌细胞的侵袭和迁移能力。Western blot检测E-cadherin、Vimentin和Twist蛋白的表达水平发现,E-cadherin表达水平与Snail相反,但Vimentin和Twist蛋白的表达水平与Snail表达趋势一致。

本研究表明miR-34a在肺癌组织中表达明显降低,而且与肿瘤分期分级以及淋巴结转移密切相关,同时发现miR-34a可以通过诱导上皮间质转化来促进肺癌细胞的侵袭和迁移。提示miR-34a可能参与肺癌的发展过程,有可能成为预测肺癌进展和预后,以至可能成为肺癌治疗的靶标。
