摘要
目的检测乳腺癌细胞株McF-7与MCF-7/ADR的Notchl表达、成球能力、干细胞池比例及干细胞内Notchl的表达,探讨Notchl在逆转乳腺癌化疗耐药中的意义。方法实时荧光定量逆转录一聚合酶链反应(RT—qPCa)及Westernblot法检测乳腺癌细胞株MCF-7、MCF-7/ADR及表型为ALDH1+/CD44+/CD24-乳腺癌干细胞中Notchl的表达;无血清培养检测MCF-7及MCF-7/ADR的成球能力;流式细胞仪检测MCF-7与MCF-7/ADR的干细胞比例并分选干细胞。结果MCF-7/ADR的Notch1的表达明显高于MCF-7(0.0748±0.0043比0.0461±0.0022,P〈0.05),微球体形成能力也明显高于MCF-7(P〈0.05);流式细胞仪检测干细胞比例,MCF-7/ADR高于MCF-7(11.40%比1.89%);分选出的干细胞Notchl的表达明显高于非干细胞(0.3096±0.0324比0.0428±0.0061,P〈0.05)。结论Notchl在乳腺癌及乳腺癌干细胞中高表达,干预Notchl可能可以逆转乳腺癌治疗的耐药。
Objective To investigate the role of Notchl in the chemotherapy process of breast cancer by studying the the efficiency of mammosphere formation, the ratio of stem cells in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR, and the expression status of Notchl in MCF-7, MCF-7/ADR and stem cells respectively. Methods Real time fluorescent quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting were employed to detect the expression status of Notchl in breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, MCF-7/ADR and ALDH1 +/CD44 +/CD24- breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). Serum-free me- dium was available to assess the efficiency of mammosphere formation. Flow cytometry was used to define the ratio of BCSCs and select them in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR. Results The expression status of Notchl [ (0. 0748±0. 0043 ) vs (0. 0461±0. 0022 ), P 〈 0.05 ] and the ability of mammosphere formation were significantly higher in MCF-7/ADR than in MCF-7 (P 〈 0. 05). There was significant difference in the ra- tio of BCSCs between MCF-7/ADR and MCF-7 ( 11.40% vs 1.89% ). Furthermore the expression score of Notchl in BCSCs was significantly higher than in non-BCSCs [ (0. 3096±0. 0324 ) vs (0. 0428 ±0. 0061 ), P 〈 0.05 ]. Conclusion The high level expression of Notchl in breast cancer and BCSCs suggests regulating Notchl may play an important role in reversing chemotherapy resistance of breast cancer.
