[摘要] 目的 探讨小分子NEK2干扰RNA(siRNA-NEK2)逆转人肺癌耐药细胞(A549/DDP)耐药性的研究。 方法 应用Real-time PCR法及Western blot法验证NEK2基因在人肺腺癌耐药细胞系(A549/DDP)细胞系呈现高表达;并采用脂质体为转染介质,将NEK2小片段RNA导入A549/DDP细胞沉默NEK2基因;应用MTT法观察顺铂、阿霉素对沉默NEK2基因后的A549/DDP细胞的细胞毒活性变化。 结果 NEK2-mRNA、NEK2蛋白在A549/DDP细胞系表达水平均显著高于A549细胞系,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05);顺铂、阿霉素对A549/DDP细胞的半数抑制浓度(IC50)分别是(53.08±0.56)、(8.09±0.31)μg/mL,对siRNA-control A549/DDP细胞的IC50分别是(53.09±0.78)、(8.10±0.98)μg/mL,而对siRNA-NEK2 A549/DDP细胞的IC50有显著下降,其值分别是(18.59±0.10)、(2.30±0.14)μg/mL,两组比较,差异均有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。 结论 小分子NEK2干扰RNA沉默NEK2可以提高耐药的肺癌细胞对化疗药物的敏感性。NEK2可能成为逆转肺癌耐药的一个新的靶点。

[Abstract] Objective To investigate the drug-resistant effect of siRNA-NEK2 on lung cancer cells lines A549/DDP. Methods Expression of NEK2-mRNA and NEK2-protein was examined in human A549 cells and A549/DDP cells by Real-time PCR and Western blot. The changes of cytotoxic activity were observed on the A549/DDP cells of silence NEK2 by MTT assay. Results The expression of NEK2-mRNA and NEK2 protein were higher in A549/DDP cells than A549 cells (P < 0.05). After treatment with DDP and Epirubicin, the IC50 values of A549/DDP cells were (53.08±0.56) and (8.09±0.31) μg/mL respectively, and the IC50 values of siRNA-control A549/DDP cells were (53.09±0.78) and (8.10±0.98) μg/mL respectively. While the IC50 values were significantly decreased in siRNA-NEK2 A549/DDP cells [(18.59±0.10), (2.30±0.14) μg/mL], two groups were compared, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Silence NEK2 with interfering RNA molecule can reduce the resistance of lung cancer cells with resistant and may increase the sensitivity of chemotherapy-resistant lung cancer patients. Therefore, NEK2 may be a new target that reverses the drug resistance of lung cancer.

肺癌是我国最常见的恶性肿瘤之一,严重威胁人类健康,已成为世界上死亡率第一位的恶性肿瘤。约80%的患者就诊时已属晚期,化疗成为其主要治疗手段,而肺癌耐药现象的产生是影响化疗效果的重要原因。已有研究表明,肿瘤细胞耐药的分子机制极其复杂,除了进入肿瘤细胞内的药物浓度减少外,DNA断裂修复加速、靶基因突变、扩增、以及凋亡抑制蛋白的表达差异等均会导致肿瘤细胞耐药[1]。因此,逆转肺癌耐药的发生,已经成为肺癌治疗研究中的热点。NEK2(NIMA-related kinase 2,NEK2)是一种哺乳动物细胞中的NIMA相关激酶,属于中心体相关蛋白激酶[2]。NEK2及其同系物过表达可以聚集中心体而过快推进有丝分裂进程甚至直接触发染色质的分裂[3]。近年来的研究已发现,NEK2广泛高表达于多种肿瘤,具有调节肿瘤细胞生长的作用[4];NEK2基因的过表达可显著增强将化疗药物泵出细胞外的蛋白质的活性,导致耐药性的产生[5]。本研究拟从沉默NEK2基因入手,探讨耐药的肺癌细胞沉默NEK2基因后,化疗药物敏感性的变化,为临床肺癌化疗耐药逆转,提高化疗疗效寻找新的靶点和途径。……
