目的:建立稳定过表达微粒体谷胱甘肽S转移酶1(microsomal glutathione Stransferase 1, MGST1)基因的肺腺癌SPCA1细胞系,探讨MGST1在肺腺癌中的作用及其机制。方法:重组质粒pcDNA3MGST1和空载体pcDNA3以脂质体介导的方法转染至SPCA1细胞中,经过G418筛选稳转细胞系,标记为pcDNA3MGST1细胞和空载体pcDNA3细胞。实时荧光定量PCR及Western blotting鉴定稳转细胞中MGST1 mRNA和蛋白的表达情况。MTS法检测稳转细胞的活力;流式细胞仪和Western blotting检测H2O2诱导下稳转细胞的凋亡率和下游凋亡相关蛋白水平变化。结果:酶切鉴定和测序结果显示pcDNA3MGST1重组质粒构建成功,并获得具有G418抗性的稳转细胞株。pcDNA3MGST1细胞中MGST1在mRNA和蛋白水平表达均显著升高(P<0.01),且细胞活力明显增加(P<0.05)。H2O2诱导下,pcDNA3MGST1细胞的早期凋亡率明显低于pcDNA3组\[(330±0.40)% vs (6.50±0.95)%, P<0.05\];pcDNA3MGST1细胞凋亡相关蛋白caspase 9、caspase 3、 PARP表达增多,cleavedcaspase 9、cleavedcaspase 3、cleavedPARP表达明显减少。结论:本研究成功构建了稳定过表达MGST1的SPCA1肺腺癌细胞系,MGST1可能通过调节caspase凋亡通路抑制肺腺癌细胞的凋亡。

[Abstract]
Objective:Lung adenocarcinoma SPCA1 cell line that stably overexpresses microsomal glutathione Stransferase 1 (MGST1) was constructed to explore the function and mechanism of MGST1 in lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3MGST1 and the empty vector pcDNA3 were transfected into SPCA1 by Lipofectaminemediated method; after being screened by G418, stably transfected cells were labeled and divided into pcDNA3MGST1 group and empty vector pcDNA3 group. qRTPCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of MGST1 at mRNA and protein level in stable cells. MTS was used to detect the viability of cells. Flow cytometry and Western blotting were used to detect the cell apoptotic rate and the downstream apoptotic proteins induced by H2O2, respectively. Results: The results of sequencing showed that the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3MGST1 was successfully constructed, and the stable cell line with G418 resistance was obtained. The mRNA and protein level of MGST1 in pcDNA3MGST1 group were all significantly elevated (P<0.01), and the cell viability was significantly increased (P<0.05). Under the induction of H2O2, the early apoptosis rate of pcDNA3MGST1 group was significantly lower than that of pcDNA3 group (\[3.30±0.40\]% vs \[6.50±0.95\]%, P<0.05). The expressions of apoptotic proteins (caspase 9, caspase3 and PARP) increased, and the expressions of cleavedcaspase 9, cleavedcaspase 3 and cleavedPARP were significantly decreased in pcDNA3MGST1 group. Conclusion: The lung adenocarcinoma cell line SPCA1, which stably overexpresses human MGST1, has been successfully established. It was found that MGST1 could inhibit the apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cells by regulating caspase apoptosis pathway, which laid the experimental foundation for the followup study.
