摘要: 目的 研究COX-2基因与食管鳞癌细胞EC109增生和凋亡的关系,观察阿司匹林对食管鳞癌细胞EC109增生和凋亡的影响,探索基因治疗和药物抑制肿瘤的机制.方法 采用RNA干扰的方法,用荧光显微镜观察RNA干扰的转染效率,用Westernblot方法分析RNA干扰的效果,用噻唑兰法定量检测RNA干扰和阿司匹林对食管鳞癌细胞增生的影响,用流式细胞仪检测RNA干扰和阿司匹林对食管鳞癌细胞凋亡的影响.结果 Westernblot方法证实,RNA干扰后EC109细胞COX-2表达下降至对照组的40%.MTT法检测结果显示,用COX-2基因干扰后,EC109细胞生长抑制作用增强,COX-2基因干扰和阿司匹林联合作用后,肿瘤细胞的生长抑制作用进一步增强.流式细胞仪检测结果显示,母本细胞组和RNA干扰的阴性对照组凋亡率较低,COX-2基因干扰后,促凋亡作用增加.COX-2基因干扰后再给予阿司匹林,促凋亡作用进一步增加.结论 RNA干扰特异性抑制细胞COX-2蛋白的表达后,抑制食管鳞癌细胞株EC109的生长增生,增强凋亡作用,阿司匹林和RNA干扰对肿瘤细胞的增生和凋亡可产生协同效果.

Abstract: Objective To study the relationship between cox-2 gene and the proliferation as well as apoptosis of esophageal squamous carcinoma EC109 cell at the gene level;also by studying the effects of aspirin(non-specific cooxygenase-2 inhibitor) on proliferation and apoptosis of esophageal squamous carcinoma EC109 cell,to investigate the mechanism of gene and medical therapies for esophageal squamous carcinoma.Methods The RNA interference method was used in this study.Short interfere RNA was synthesized targeting Cox-2 Gene.The expression of COX-2 gene in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma EC109 was specially inhibited by RNAi technique.The efficiency of RNAi technique was detected with fluorescence microscopy.The effect of RNAi technique was detected with Western blot.Cell growth was tested with MTT reduction assay.The cell apoptosis was detected with flow cytometry.EC109 growth was tested with MTT reduction assay.Results Compared with the control group,the expression of COX-2 gene in EC109 had a 40% decrease.The OD value of MTT was 0.85±0.05 in mother cell group,the OD value of MTT was 0.75±0.06 in negative control group labeld by FITC,the OD value of MTT was 0.48±0.05 in transfection group of COX-2 siRNA,the OD value of MTT was 0.28±0.04 in Aspinin combined with RNAi group.After RNAi,the effect of growth inhibition was increased in EC109 cell compared with the control groups.The growth inhibition of Aspinin combined with RNAi group was stronger than that of RNAi group.The rate of apoptosis was 1.35% in mother cell group,the rate of apoptosis was 1.72% in negative control group labeld by FITC,the rate of apoptosis was 4.33% in transfection group of COX-2 siRNA,the rate of apoptosis was 11.66% in Aspinin combined with RNAi group.After RNAi,the rate of apoptosis increased in EC109 cell compared with the control groups.The rate of apoptosis of aspinin conbined with RNAi group was stronger than that of RNAi group.Conclusion The RNAi techniques can specifically inhibit the expression of COX-2 gene.The cell proliferation has been suppressed and the cell apoptosis is stronger in EC109 after COX-2 gene has been specifically inhibited.The combined administration of aspirin and RNAi has a synergic effect on the tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis.
