摘 要 目的: 探讨核因子κB(nuclear factor kappa B, NF-κB)抑制剂二硫代氨基甲酸吡咯烷(pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate,PDTC)提高人卵巢癌SKOV-3细胞对顺铂(cisplatin)化疗敏感性的作用及其可能的机制。方法:用不同浓度PDTC联合顺铂在不同时间作用于卵巢癌SKOV-3细胞,MTT法观察药物作用对细胞生长的抑制,Western Blotting分析胞质内NF-κB 抑制蛋白α(inhibitor of NF-κB ,I-κBα)、胞核P65蛋白的表达;流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡。结果:PDTC(10~40 μmol/L)或顺铂(0.1~100 μg/ml )均明显抑制SKOV-3细胞的生长(P<0.05或P<0.01),并引起细胞的凋亡;小剂量PDTC(2.5、5 μmol/L)和顺铂(0.01 μg/ml)联合应用与单用顺铂比较,可明显增加细胞生长抑制率和细胞凋亡率(均P<0.05)。单用顺铂组与对照组比较,胞质I-κBα蛋白减少而胞核P65蛋白增多,联合使用PDTC可逆转此现象。结论:小剂量PDTC可增强卵巢癌细胞对顺铂的敏感性,这一作用可能与PDTC增加I-κBα蛋白的表达而抑制P65蛋白进入核内有关。

Abstract Objective: To determine the promoting effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), an inhibitor of NFκB, on the sensitivity of human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 to chemoagent cisplatin and the possible mechanisms. Methods:SKOV3 cells were treated with various concentrations of cisplatin and PDTC combination for different periods. Then the growth inhibition of SKOV3 cells were observed by MTT assay, expression of IκBα and P65 protein by Western blotting assay, and apoptosis of cells by flow cytometry. Results: Separate application of both cisplatin(0.1-10 μg/ml)and PDTC(10-40 μmol/L L)significantly inhibited the growth of SKOV3 cells and caused cell apoptosis(P<0.05 orP<0.01). Even at lower concentration, cisplatin(0.01 μg/ml)combined with PDTC (2.5, 5 μmol/L)resulted more significant growth inhibition and apoptosis of SKOV3 cells than cisplatin alone (both P<0.05). Cisplatin alone reduced cytoplasmic IκBα protein in the cytoplasm and increased nuclear P65 protein compared with control group(both P<0.05), which could be reversed by addition of PDTC. Conclusion: Low dose of PDTC can enhance the chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin, which might be related to PDTCinduced IκBα protein and the subsequent inhibition of nuclear translocation of P65 protein.
