目的:探讨mda7/IL24对裸鼠肝癌细胞移植瘤的生长抑制和促凋亡作用及其相关机制。方法:构建携带mda7基因的重组腺病毒载体Admda7。以HepG2细胞皮下接种建立裸鼠肝癌移植瘤模型,采用瘤内单点注射的方法分别给予AdGFP、Admda7和ALLN(毒胡萝卜素,NAcLLnorleucinal)+Admda7,观察瘤质量和瘤体积的变化,通过免疫组化和TUNEL法检测肿瘤组织内凋亡相关蛋白caspase3活化、细胞增殖相关抗原ki67和微血管密度、细胞凋亡率,并通过Western blotting检测caspase12、caspase3和Bax的表达。结果: Ad.mda7治疗组和Ad.GFP对照组肿瘤体积分别为(312.6±30.2)mm3和(520.6±30.0)mm3(P<0.01),两组的肿瘤质量分别为(0.321±0.031)g和(0.534±0.030)g(P<001);Ad.mda7治疗后瘤细胞的凋亡率显著高于对照组(P<0.01);Ad.mda7可抑制肝癌组织ki67表达、微血管密度和促进caspase3的表达。 经 ALLN 处理的裸鼠,明显抑制Ad.mda7对肝癌细胞的致凋亡作用(P<0.05),并且下调Ad.mda7诱导的caspase12、caspase3和Bax的表达。结论: Ad.mda7可显著抑制裸鼠肝癌移植瘤的生长和新生血管的形成,并通过内质网应激通路显著诱导肿瘤细胞的凋亡。

Objective: To study the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis promotion effect of mda7/IL24 in transplanted hepatocellular cancer cells in nude mice, and to study the related mechanism. Methods: Recombinant vector Ad.mda7 was constructed. BALB/c nude mice liver cancer model was established by subcutaneous implanting of HepG2 cells. Nude mice were administered with Ad.GFP, Ad.mda7 or ALLN+Ad.mda7 via intratumor single point injection. The changes of tumor size and weight were observed. Activation of caspase3, apoptosis of cancer cells, cell proliferationassociated antigen ki67 and microvascular density were assessed by immunohistochemistry and TUNEL method. Caspase12, caspase3 and Bax expression was examined via Western blotting. Results: The tumor sizes of Ad.mda7 treated mice and Ad.GFP treated mice were (312.6±30.24) mm3 vs (520.6±30.00) mm3 (P<0.05), and the weights were (0.321±0.031) g vs (0.534±0.030) g, respectively (P<0.05). Ad.mda7 inhibited expression of ki67 and CD31, and induced activation of caspase3 in subcutaneous tumor xenografts. ALLN reversed the apoptosis inducing effect of Ad.mda7 (P<0.05), downregulated the expression of caspase12, caspase3 and Bax induced by Ad. Mda7. Conclusion: mda7/IL24 can obviously inhibit proliferation and angiogenesis of transplanted hepatocellular cancer cells, and induce apoptosis of hepatocellular cancer cells through activating the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway.
