摘要
目的:探讨丙型肝炎双移位F(DF)蛋白对肝癌细胞抑癌基因p16、p21转录与表达的影响。方法:PCR扩增HCV1b型DF基因,构建pCDNA3.0/HCV-DF真核表达载体。再转染至肝癌细胞HepG2中,G418筛选稳定表达细胞株,Western blot检测p16、p21蛋白表达及半定量RT-PCR法检测p16、p21基因转录,并以pCDNA3.0空质粒作为阴性对照。结果:重组质粒pCDNA3.0/HCV-DF蛋白在HepG2细胞中稳定表达,pCDNA3.0/HCV-DF转染细胞中p16、p21 mR-NA转录水平和蛋白表达水平较空质粒转染的细胞明显下降。结论:HCV-DF蛋白能够抑制p16、p21表达,提示可能参与肝细胞癌变发生发展。
AIM: To investigate the effect of HCV DF(Double-shift F) protein on the expression p16 and p21 in HepG2 cells.METHODS: DF gene was amplificated from the whole HCV 1b genome,and cloned into pCDNA3.0 vecter.The recombinant plasmid(pCDNA3.0/HCV-DF) and empty vector were transfected into HepG2 cells.Screening was performed with G418.p16 and p21 mRNA were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR,and protein by Western blot.RESULTS: Stable expression of the recombinant plasmid was found in HCV DF protein.The expression of p16 and p21 in HepG2 cells transfected with pCDNA3.0/HCV-DF were lower than those with blank plasmid.CONCLISION: HCV DF protein inhibits expression of p16 and p21 in HepG2 cells.This suggested that HCV DF protein may participate in the progress of hepatocellular carcinoma.
