[摘要] 目的:探讨三阴性乳腺癌顺铂(cisplatin, DDP)耐药细胞和敏感细胞中FA/BRCA通路关键基因FANCF的表达和功能,以及与DDP耐药的相关性。方法:DDP浓度递增法诱导建立乳腺癌细胞MDA-MB-231的DDP耐药细胞株MDA-MB-231/DDP;通过RNAi技术敲减MDA-MB-231 敏感细胞和DDP耐药细胞中FANCF,并在mRNA和蛋白水平进行敲减效果验证。CCK-8 法检测DDP耐药细胞株增殖活性,Western blotting 法检测该细胞中FANCF蛋白表达,流式细胞仪检测MDA-MB-231细胞周期和凋亡情况,实时定量PCR(RT-qPCR)法检测FANCF mRNA的表达。结果:MDA-MB-231细胞DDP诱导3个月建立的MDA-MB-231/DDP细胞株耐药指数为13.5,其G0/G1 期细胞增多、S期和G2/M期细胞减少。MDA-MB-231/DDP细胞中FANCF mRNA和蛋白表达水平显著升高(均P<0.01)。FANCF敲低后MDA-MB-231/DDP细胞凋亡增加,细胞对DDP的药物敏感性显著升高(均P<0.01)。结论:FANCF基因通过抗凋亡作用导致MDA-MB-231细胞对DDP的耐药性,FANCF是乳腺癌治疗的一个潜在靶点。

[Abstract]
[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the expression profile and function of FANCF gene (a key gene in FA/BRCA pathway) in both cisplatin (DDP)-resistant and DDP-sensitive human triple-negative breast cancer cell lines and to analyze its correlation with DDP-resistance in breast cancer. Methods: The DDP-resistant breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell line (MDA-MB-231/DDP) was established by induction of gradient DDP. The expression of FANCF gene in both sensitive and resistant cell lines was knocked-down by RNAi interference technology and the knockdown efficiency was validated at both RNA and protein level. The cell viability of MDA-MB-231 cells and MDA-MB-231/DDP cells was determined by the CCK8 assay; Flow cytometry was used to examine the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis; the mRNA and protein expressions of FANCF gene were examined by using qRT-PCR and western blotting, respectively. Results:The resistance index of MDA-MB-231 /DDP cells was 13.5 after 3-month induction. The mRNA and protein expressions of FANCF were significantly increased in MDA-MB-231/DDP cells (all P<0.01). Cell cycle analysis indicated that the DDP treatment significantly induced G0/G1 arrest and decreased the cell proportion in phase S and G2/M. siRNA-mediated knockdown of FANCF could not only be able to increase sensitivity of MDA-MB-231 to DDP but also promote the cell apoptosis (all P<0.01). Conclusion: FANCF attributes to the occurrence of DDP-resistance through anti-apoptosis effect, which might be served as a potential treatment target for drug-resistant human breast cancer.
