摘要
目的:探讨糖原合成酶激酶-3β(Glycogen synthase kinase-3β,GSK-3β)对肺癌A549细胞增殖的影响及可能机制。方法:MTT法检测不同浓度曲古抑菌素A(TSA)和联合GSK-3β抑制剂SB216763对A549细胞增殖的影响;Western Blot法检测各组细胞中GSK-3β和磷酸化GSK-3β(pGSK-3β)蛋白表达的变化;流式细胞仪分析细胞周期;免疫细胞化学法检测p27蛋白水平。结果:TSA以剂量依赖性抑制A549细胞生长,使细胞周期阻滞于G0/G1期,用SB216763预处理后明显减弱了TSA对A549细胞的生长抑制作用和细胞周期阻滞。TSA对细胞GSK-3β蛋白表达无明显影响,却降低了pGSK-3β蛋白水平,p27蛋白表达增加;抑制剂SB216763使pGSK-3β表达增加,下调p27蛋白水平。结论:GSK-3β参与并促进了TSA对肺癌细胞的生长抑制和细胞周期阻滞效应,其机制可能与GSK-3β对p27蛋白的调节有关。
Objective:To explore the effect of Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3 β )on cell proliferation in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 and its potential mechanisms. Methods: MTT assay was employed to evaluate the effects of trichostatin A (TSA) and pretreatment with SB216763 (a specific inhibitor of GSK-3 β ) on the proliferation of A549 cells. Western Blot was employed to analyze the protein levels of GSK-3β and phosphorylated GSK-3 β (pGSK-3 β ). Ceil life cycle was examined by flow cytometry analysis. The immunocytochemical method was employed to analyze the protein levels of p27. Results: TSA could inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner and the cell cycle was arrested in G0/G1 phase in A549 cells treated with TSA. While pre-treatment of A549 cells with SB216763 attenuated TSA induced growth inhibiting and cell cycle arrest. TSA did not alter the levels of GSK-3β but decreased pGSK-3β expression and up-regulated p27 expression. As expected,SB216763 increased the levels of pGSK-3β , consistent with inhibition of GSK-3 β activity. Inhibition of GSK-3 β activity down regulated p27 protein level. Conclusion: GSK-3 β was involved in the inhibition of effect induced by TSA on lung carcinoma cells proliferation process. GSK-3 β may exert this effect by stabilization of p27 which may be one of the downstream molecules.
