摘要
目的探讨脂肪酸合成酶(fatty acid synthase,FASN)对胰腺癌细胞凋亡的影响及其可能的分子机制。方法应用Annexin V/FITC流式细胞仪检测脂肪酸合成酶受到抑制后对胰腺癌细胞株PANC-1凋亡水平的影响,qRTPCR、Western blot技术检测受到C75作用后的胰腺癌细胞PANC-1中Caspase-3、Bcl-2、FASN蛋白及RNA的水平。结果应用C75对PANC-1细胞中FASN进行特异性地抑制,随着C75浓度增加,胰腺癌细胞中脂肪酸合成酶蛋白表达量明显降低,细胞凋亡水平升高。同时,C75处理组Caspase-3分子水平较对照组升高,Bcl-2分子水平下降(P<0.05)。结论脂肪酸合成酶通过Bcl-2以及Caspase-3分子,参与了胰腺癌细胞株PANC-1中细胞凋亡的过程。因此,脂肪酸合成酶在未来可以作为药物靶点,用于临床治疗胰腺癌。
Objective To investigate the effect of fatty acid synthase(FASN)on apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell PANC-1 and the possible molecular mechanism.Methods Annexin V/FITC and flow cytometry were performed to detect the expression of FASN in pancreatic cancer PANC-1 after C75 treatment and the change of apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell PANC-1 treated with C75.Quantity reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and Western blot were used to measure the protein and RNA expressions of Caspase-3,bcl-2 and FASN.Results Inhibited by C75,the activity of FASN in pancreatic cancer cell PANC-1 was significantly decreased.Meanwhile,PANC-1 showed an increased apoptosis level in a dose-dependent manner(P〈 0.05).Furthermore,after C75 inhibited FASN in pancreatic cancer cells,the protein and RNA expressions of Caspase-3significantly increased(P〈0.05)whereas the level of Bcl-2 reduced(P〈0.05).Conclusion FASN is involved in the process of apoptosis in PANC-1 via Bcl-2 and Caspase-3.Therefore,FASN will provide a new target for the treatment of pancreatic cancer and generate better treatment efficacy.
