摘要
目的观察肝细胞癌(HCC)细胞株SUN449、BEL-7402、SMMC-7721、Hep3B及ep G2中SLIT2基因在5-Aza-CdR作用后,其启动子区甲基化状态及表达的变化,探讨HCC细胞株中SLIT2基因调控规律及甲基化调节抑制剂5-Aza-CdR对SLIT2基因转录的影响。方法对上述HCC细胞株体外培养,MSP法检测HCC细胞株中SLIT2启动子相关区域的甲基化状况。应用10mmol/L浓度的5-Aza-CdR处理体外培养的5种HCC细胞后,MSP法检测用药前后细胞中SLIT2基因的甲基化状态,RT-PCR法检测用药前后细胞中SLIT2 mRNA的变化。结果 SLIT2基因在各细胞株中启动子区呈异常高甲基化状态,mRNA低表达。经过5-Aza-CdR处理后,SLIT2基因启动子区呈显著去甲基化状态,其mRNA表达增强。结论启动子区异常甲基化是HCC细胞SLIT2基因失活的主要原因之一,去甲基化制剂5-Aza-CdR能逆转SLIT2基因甲基化状态,从而调控SLIT2基因表达。
Objective To investigate the effect of 5-Aza-CdR on methylation state and transcription of SLIT2 gene in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines,and to discuss mechanism of SLIT2 gene silencing in 5 human hepatoma cell lines as well as the effect of demethylation agent on its expression.Methods All cell lines of SUN449,BEL-7402,SMMC-7721,Hep3B and HepG2 were cultured in vitro and treated with 10 mmol/L 5-Aza-CdR.The promoter methylation state of SLIT2 gene and the mRNA expression of SLIT2 gene in the 5 hepatoma cell lines before and after 5-Aza-CdR treatment were detected by methylation-specific PCP (MSP)and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR),re-spectively.Results Promoter hypermethylation of SLIT2 gene was detected in all 5 hepatoma cell lines and SLIT2 gene was expressed at a low level before 5-Aza-CdR treatment.After treated with demethylation agent 5-Aza-CdR,the promoter region of SLIT2 gene exhibited dem-ethylation state,and gene expression increased significantly at mRNA level.Conclusion Promoter hypermethylation is a main mechanism of SLIT2 gene silencing in 5 human hepatoma cell lines,and could be reversed by demethylation agent 5-Aza-CdR. <br> carcinoma cell lines,and to discuss mechanism of SLIT2 gene silencing in 5 human hepatoma cell lines as well as the effect of demethylation agent on its expression.Methods All cell lines of SUN449,BEL-7402,SMMC-7721,Hep3B and HepG2 were cultured in vitro and treated with 10 mmol/L 5-Aza-CdR.The promoter methylation state of SLIT2 gene and the mRNA expression of SLIT2 gene in the 5 hepatoma cell lines before and after 5-Aza-CdR treatment were detected by methylation-specific PCP (MSP)and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR),re-spectively.Results Promoter hypermethylation of SLIT2 gene was detected in all 5 hepatoma cell lines and SLIT2 gene was expressed at a low level before 5-Aza-CdR treatment.After treated with demethylation agent 5-Aza-CdR,the promoter region of SLIT2 gene exhibited dem-ethylation state,and gene expression increased significantly at mRNA level.Conclus
