目的 探討Wnt3a對結(jié)腸癌SW480細(xì)胞增殖的調(diào)控效應(yīng)及其作用機(jī)制。方法 將培養(yǎng)好的結(jié)腸癌細(xì)胞SW480隨機(jī)分為對照組和Wnt3a組，對照組僅給予DMEM培養(yǎng)基處理，Wnt3a組給予100 ng/mL Wnt3a培養(yǎng)。用MTT法檢測細(xì)胞增殖情況，計(jì)算相對活細(xì)胞百分比；用平板克隆形成實(shí)驗(yàn)檢測細(xì)胞克隆形成率(PE)；用流式細(xì)胞術(shù)檢測細(xì)胞周期分布；用Western blotting法檢測細(xì)胞內(nèi)醛脫氫酶1B1(ALDH1B1)蛋白表達(dá)，RT-PCR技術(shù)檢測ALDH1B1 mRNA表達(dá)。結(jié)果 Wnt3a誘導(dǎo)24、48、72 h，Wnt3a組相對活細(xì)胞百分比高于對照組(P均<0.05)。Wnt3a誘導(dǎo)7 d，Wnt3a組PE高于對照組(P<0.05)。Wnt3a誘導(dǎo)24 h，Wnt3a組G1期細(xì)胞百分比低于對照組，G2期細(xì)胞百分比高于對照組(P均<0.05)。Wnt3a誘導(dǎo)48 h，Wnt3a組ALDH1B1蛋白、mRNA相對表達(dá)量高于對照組(P均<0.05)。結(jié)論 Wnt3a可能通過誘導(dǎo)ALDH1B1高表達(dá)促進(jìn)結(jié)腸癌SW480細(xì)胞增殖。

結(jié)腸腫瘤；SW480細(xì)胞；Wnt3a；醛脫氫酶1B1；細(xì)胞增殖

結(jié)腸癌是最常見的惡性腫瘤之一。據(jù)調(diào)查，2014年美國有結(jié)腸癌新增病例136 830例，因結(jié)腸癌死亡50 310例[1]。結(jié)腸癌的發(fā)病與幾種致瘤信號通路的異常激活密切相關(guān)。其中，Wnt/β-catenin信號通路被認(rèn)為是結(jié)腸癌發(fā)病的重要原因之一[2]。Wnt/β-catenin信號的異常激活引導(dǎo)結(jié)腸正常細(xì)胞向癌細(xì)胞轉(zhuǎn)變、促進(jìn)結(jié)腸癌細(xì)胞向結(jié)腸基底細(xì)胞侵襲[2～4]。Wnt3a是Wnt信號蛋白的重要成員。研究表明，Wnt3a能促進(jìn)結(jié)腸癌腫瘤組織血管形成[5,6]，然而其對結(jié)腸癌細(xì)胞的增殖調(diào)控效應(yīng)及其作用機(jī)制目前依然未知。2015年1月～2016年1月，本研究就Wnt3a對結(jié)腸癌細(xì)胞SW480增殖的調(diào)控作用及其分子機(jī)制進(jìn)行了探討。

3 討論

近年來，對結(jié)腸癌分子機(jī)制的研究已經(jīng)取得了顯著進(jìn)展。然而，目前為止，結(jié)腸癌依然是高度致死性的癌癥之一[1]。研究表明，在結(jié)腸癌的發(fā)病過程中，Wnt/β-catenin信號通路出現(xiàn)異常，包括c-Myc和CyclinD1等在內(nèi)Wnt/β-catenin信號依賴性分子轉(zhuǎn)錄失調(diào)，被認(rèn)為是導(dǎo)致結(jié)腸癌發(fā)生的重要原因[5]。有催化活性的ALDH已被認(rèn)定為多種腫瘤和腫瘤干細(xì)胞的生物標(biāo)志物[5,6]。研究表明，在正常人類結(jié)腸，ALDH1B1僅在隱窩基底部及干細(xì)胞中表達(dá)。然而，該蛋白也在人結(jié)腸腺癌中高度表達(dá)[6,7]。有研究結(jié)果表明，ALDH1B1在結(jié)腸癌細(xì)胞的基因表達(dá)譜與Wnt/β-catenin信號活性具有某種同步性，因此，ALDH1B1被認(rèn)為是結(jié)腸癌發(fā)生的原因之一[8]。Wnt3a是Wnt信號蛋白的重要成員，能促進(jìn)結(jié)腸癌腫瘤組織血管形成[3]。然而，Wnt3a與ALDH1B1的相互作用依然未知。本研究著重探討了Wnt3a對結(jié)腸癌細(xì)胞SW480的細(xì)胞增殖調(diào)控作用并進(jìn)一步探討了Wnt3a對ALDH1B1的基因表達(dá)調(diào)控效應(yīng)。

ALDH1B1的生物學(xué)功能是通過代謝視黃醛而產(chǎn)生視黃酸(RA)[9]。RA作為一種維生素A類衍生物，是細(xì)胞增殖發(fā)育的必需成分[10]。RA能結(jié)合細(xì)胞視黃酸結(jié)合蛋白(CARBPⅡ)和脂肪酸結(jié)合蛋白5(FABP5)[11]。RA誘導(dǎo)CARBPⅡ和FABP5介導(dǎo)的視黃酸受體(RAR)或PPARβ/δ激活[12]。RAR的激活能刺激細(xì)胞分化，并抑制細(xì)胞增殖[13]。然而，PPARβ/δ的激活對PI3K/Akt介導(dǎo)的腫瘤生長有促進(jìn)效應(yīng)[14]。FABP5在結(jié)腸癌細(xì)胞中高表達(dá)，因此，推測RA能通過誘導(dǎo)FABP5激活PPARβ/δ從而促進(jìn)細(xì)胞增殖、抗凋亡及促進(jìn)腫瘤生長[15,16]。根據(jù)本研究的結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，Wnt3a促進(jìn)ALDH1B1的基因表達(dá)，后者又可能通過激活PPARβ/δ，進(jìn)而最終促進(jìn)PI3K/Akt介導(dǎo)的腫瘤生長。

本研究利用Wnt3a蛋白誘導(dǎo)結(jié)腸癌細(xì)胞SW480，通過MTT活細(xì)胞計(jì)數(shù)、克隆形成實(shí)驗(yàn)及細(xì)胞周期分析發(fā)現(xiàn)，Wnt3a能顯著促進(jìn)SW480細(xì)胞生長、克隆形成及促使SW480細(xì)胞進(jìn)入G2期。同時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)，Wnt3a能上調(diào)SW480細(xì)胞內(nèi)ALDH1B1表達(dá)。ALDH1B1是一種重要的結(jié)腸癌細(xì)胞增殖促進(jìn)因子[6]，Wnt3a通過促進(jìn)ALDH1B1的表達(dá)，從而促進(jìn)結(jié)腸癌細(xì)胞的增殖。

Objective To investigate the potential role of Wnt3a in the regulation of colon cancer cell proliferation and its regulatory mechanism. Methods Colon carcinoma cell line SW480 was randomly divided into two groups, the control group treated with DMEM, and the Wnt3a group treated with 100 ng/mL Wnt3a. The proliferation ability was measured by MTT. The relative percentage of living cells was also counted. Cell clone formation rate (PE) was measured by plate clone formation assay. Cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. RT-PCR was used to measure the expression level of ALDH1B1 mRNA. The expression level of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)1B1 protein was measured by Western blotting. Results After 24, 48 and 72 h of induction by Wnt3a, the relative percentage of living cells in the Wnt3a group was significantly higher than that of the control group (allP<0.05). After 7 d of induction by Wnt3a, the PE of the Wnt3a group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The cell percentage of G1phase in the Wnt3a group was significantly lower, and the cell percentage of G2phase was significantly higher than that of the control group after 24-hour treatment of Wnt3a (allP<0.05). After 48-hour treatment with Wnt3a, the expression level of ALDH1B1 protein and mRNA in the Wnt3a group was significantly higher than that of the control group (allP<0.05).Conclusion Wnt3a promotes colon cancer cell proliferation by inducing the high expression of ALDH1B1.
