【摘要】:目的:原發(fā)性肝癌(Hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC)是人類最常見(jiàn)的致死性惡性腫瘤之一,丙型肝炎病毒(Hepatitis C virus,HCV)感染是引發(fā)HCC的重要危險(xiǎn)因素。全球已有約2億人感染HCV,約占世界總?cè)丝诘?%,每年新增病例300萬(wàn)~400萬(wàn)。目前HCV抗病毒治療主要采用聚乙二醇干擾素聯(lián)合利巴韋林,但這種治療手段對(duì)高滴度HCV RNA和血清型為HCVⅠ型的患者效果并不理想。HCV感染嚴(yán)重危害人們的身體健康,因此深入研究HCV感染相關(guān)HCC的致病機(jī)理將為防治HCV感染疾病提供新的防治策略。核心蛋白是HCV病毒編碼產(chǎn)生的分子量為21kDa的多功能結(jié)構(gòu)蛋白。研究表明:核心蛋白參與丙型肝炎病毒的組裝、釋放,并與細(xì)胞內(nèi)重要的一些轉(zhuǎn)錄因子或者多種信號(hào)通路相互作用,削弱機(jī)體的免疫防御功能,進(jìn)而引起HCV相關(guān)肝硬化甚至肝癌的發(fā)生;HCV核心蛋白還能與p53、p73、pRb等抑癌基因直接結(jié)合,抑制細(xì)胞的凋亡,導(dǎo)致腫瘤的發(fā)生。 Wnt/β-catenin信號(hào)通路的異常激活在肝癌的發(fā)生中至關(guān)重要,目前研究表明它的異常激活至少與50%以上的HCC發(fā)生相關(guān)。HCC臨床標(biāo)本中,AXIN基因突變比較少見(jiàn),由β-catenin基因突變引起β-catenin的活化僅占20%,結(jié)腸腺瘤樣息肉基因(AdenomatousPolyposis Coli,APC)的失活突變?nèi)晕丛贖CC中發(fā)現(xiàn),這表明在HCC發(fā)生過(guò)程中,Wnt/β-catenin信號(hào)通路的拮抗分子如SFRPs的失活可能參與了該信號(hào)通路的異常活化。 DNA甲基化修飾是表觀遺傳調(diào)控的重要方式,研究證實(shí),肺癌、乳腺癌、膀胱癌、胃癌、結(jié)腸癌、肝癌等眾多實(shí)體腫瘤中均存在SFRPs啟動(dòng)子區(qū)高度甲基化修飾。已有研究表明病毒感染機(jī)體后能夠以表觀遺傳修飾的方式調(diào)控基因的轉(zhuǎn)錄和表達(dá),引起細(xì)胞的異常分化、增殖,導(dǎo)致相關(guān)疾病的發(fā)生。HCV核心蛋白能否通過(guò)甲基化、乙;⒒蚪M蛋白修飾等表觀遺傳水平調(diào)控SFRPs基因的表達(dá),目前還未見(jiàn)研究報(bào)道。本課題組前期實(shí)驗(yàn)已經(jīng)證實(shí)HCV核心蛋白能夠下調(diào)SFRP1的表達(dá),,本研究旨在進(jìn)一步深入探討核心蛋白調(diào)控SFRP1的分子機(jī)制;并從正反兩方面驗(yàn)證表觀遺傳對(duì)腫瘤細(xì)胞生物學(xué)行為的影響。 方法:本課題組前期實(shí)驗(yàn)已經(jīng)證實(shí)丙型肝炎病毒核心蛋白能夠下調(diào)SFRP1的表達(dá),并且SFRP1的表達(dá)經(jīng)DAC處理后能夠部分恢復(fù)。本實(shí)驗(yàn)在前期實(shí)驗(yàn)的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步采用基因重組技術(shù)構(gòu)建SFRP1啟動(dòng)子區(qū)截短報(bào)告質(zhì)粒,確定啟動(dòng)子區(qū)活性最強(qiáng)區(qū)域,并探討HCV核心蛋白對(duì)SFRP1啟動(dòng)子活性的影響;通過(guò)染色質(zhì)免疫共沉淀技術(shù)(Chromatin immunoprecipitation, ChIP)研究核心蛋白對(duì)SFRP1基因表觀沉默的分子作用機(jī)制。此外,通過(guò)平板克隆形成實(shí)驗(yàn)、結(jié)晶紫染色、腫瘤細(xì)胞遷移實(shí)驗(yàn)、侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)和肝癌裸鼠移植瘤模型系統(tǒng)研究HCV核心蛋白對(duì)細(xì)胞生物學(xué)行為的影響。進(jìn)一步采用亞重硫酸鹽DNA測(cè)序方法驗(yàn)證核心蛋白是否可以促進(jìn)裸鼠移植瘤細(xì)胞中SFRP1啟動(dòng)子區(qū)高甲基化修飾,用免疫組化方法檢測(cè)裸鼠移植瘤中PCNA、 β-catenin及Wnt下游靶基因c-Myc以及MMP2、MMP9的表達(dá)。 結(jié)果:本實(shí)驗(yàn)利用基因重組技術(shù)成功構(gòu)建了SFRP1啟動(dòng)子區(qū)截短報(bào)告質(zhì)粒,通過(guò)雙熒光素酶活性檢測(cè)方法確定SFRP1啟動(dòng)子區(qū)活性最強(qiáng)區(qū)域?yàn)?407~-27nt,并且證實(shí)HCV核心蛋白能夠抑制SFRP1啟動(dòng)子區(qū)的活性。ChIP結(jié)果顯示:在過(guò)表達(dá)核心蛋白的Huh7及SK-Hep1細(xì)胞中,核心蛋白可增強(qiáng)Dnmt1、HDAC1及甲基化結(jié)合蛋白MBD1,MBD2,MeCP2富集于SFRP1的啟動(dòng)子區(qū),抑制乙;M蛋白H3、組蛋白乙;D(zhuǎn)移酶P300結(jié)合于SFRP1啟動(dòng)子區(qū)。平板克隆形成實(shí)驗(yàn)和結(jié)晶紫實(shí)驗(yàn)均證實(shí),在穩(wěn)定表達(dá)HCV核心蛋白的肝癌細(xì)胞系中,核心蛋白促進(jìn)肝癌細(xì)胞增殖,沉默Dnmt1和(或)回復(fù)SFRP1能夠抑制這種作用。遷移以及侵襲實(shí)驗(yàn)表明,HCV核心蛋白增強(qiáng)肝癌細(xì)胞系Huh7及SK-Hep1細(xì)胞遷移及侵襲能力,同樣,沉默Dnmt1和(或)回復(fù)表達(dá)SFRP1能夠抑制這種作用。體內(nèi)實(shí)驗(yàn)研究表明沉默Dnmt1和(或)回復(fù)表達(dá)SFRP1能夠抑制裸鼠皮下移植瘤的生長(zhǎng),下調(diào)β-catenin和Wnt下游靶基因的表達(dá)。同時(shí)也證明,沉默Dnmt1和(或)回復(fù)SFRP1能夠抑制MMP2、MMP9的表達(dá)。 結(jié)論:HCV核心蛋白可通過(guò)增強(qiáng)Dnmt1,HDAC1及甲基化相關(guān)蛋白MBD1、MBD2、MeCP2富集于SFRP1啟動(dòng)子區(qū),誘導(dǎo)其甲基化,抑制其啟動(dòng)子區(qū)活性,導(dǎo)致SFRP1基因表達(dá)沉默。體外及體內(nèi)實(shí)驗(yàn)證實(shí)HCV核心蛋白通過(guò)下調(diào)Wnt/β-catenin信號(hào)通路抑制分子SFRP1的表達(dá),誘導(dǎo)Wnt信號(hào)通路活化,最終參與HCV相關(guān)肝癌的發(fā)生。
[Abstract]:Objective : Primary hepatic carcinoma ( HCC ) is one of the most common fatal malignant tumors in the world . Hepatitis C virus ( HCV ) infection is an important risk factor for HCV infection .
HCV core protein can bind to p53 , p73 , pRb and other tumor suppressor genes directly , inhibit the apoptosis of cells , and lead to the occurrence of tumor .
The abnormal activation of Wnt / 尾 - catenin signaling pathway is very important in the genesis of HCC . In the present study , it is shown that the abnormal activation of Wnt / 尾 - catenin signaling pathway is associated with more than 50 % HCC . In HCC clinical specimens , the inactivation of 尾 - catenin is only 20 % in HCC clinical specimens , and the inactivation mutation of adenomatous Polyposis Coli ( APC ) is still not found in HCC . This suggests that the inactivation of Wnt / 尾 - catenin signaling pathway , such as SFRPs , may be involved in abnormal activation of the signal pathway .
DNA methylation modification is an important way of epigenetic regulation . It has been proved that SFRPs promoter region is highly methylated in many solid tumors such as lung cancer , breast cancer , bladder cancer , gastric cancer , colon cancer and liver cancer .
The effect of apparent inheritance on the biological behavior of tumor cells was verified from the positive and negative sides .
Methods : The core protein of the hepatitis C virus was confirmed to be able to downregulate the expression of SFP1 , and the expression of SFP1 could be partially recovered after DAC treatment . The experiment was carried out on the basis of the previous experiment , and further adopted the gene recombination technique to construct the short report plasmid of the promoter region of the SF1gene , determine the most active region of the promoter region , and probe into the influence of the HCV core protein on the activity of the SFP1 promoter .
The effect of core protein on the apparent silencing of SFP1 gene was studied by means of chromatin immunocodeposition ( CHIP ) . In addition , the expression of PCNA , 尾 - catenin and Wnt downstream target genes c - Myc , and MMP2 and MMP 9 were detected by immunohistochemical method .
Results : In this experiment , we have successfully constructed the truncated reporter plasmid of SF1promoter region by using gene recombination technique , and confirmed that the activity of the promoter region is -407 锝
