發(fā)布時(shí)間:2018-09-02 05:36
【摘要】:研究背景 子宮肌瘤(uterine fibroids)是育齡婦女生殖器官最常見(jiàn)的良性腫瘤,發(fā)病率呈逐年上升趨勢(shì),臨床發(fā)病率為20%-40%。子宮肌瘤的發(fā)病機(jī)制至今尚不明了。子宮肌瘤是類固醇激素依賴腫瘤,其發(fā)生與遺傳、基因突變等多種因素有關(guān)。異常表達(dá)的基因主要涉及細(xì)胞信號(hào)和傳遞蛋白、離子通道運(yùn)輸?shù)鞍椎。子宮平滑肌和內(nèi)膜組織中具有豐富的前列腺素合成分泌,通過(guò)自分泌和旁分泌機(jī)制作用于平滑肌細(xì)胞,參與妊娠和非妊娠期的子宮生理效應(yīng)。既往,人們對(duì)子宮肌瘤的發(fā)病機(jī)制的研究中很少涉及前列腺素系統(tǒng)的作用。 前列腺素(Prostaglandins, PG)是多不飽和脂肪酸--花生四烯酸(Arachidonic acid,aa)的衍生物。前列腺素是調(diào)節(jié)子宮收縮的重要激素,而環(huán)氧合酶(Cyclooxygenase-2,COX-2)則是催化aa產(chǎn)生PG途徑當(dāng)中的限速酶,也是非甾體類抗炎藥(Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,NSAIDs)作用的靶點(diǎn),它不僅調(diào)節(jié)前列腺素的合成,而且廣泛參與腫瘤的發(fā)生發(fā)展過(guò)程。COX-2是COX(Cyclooxygense)的一個(gè)同工酶,一個(gè)即刻早期反應(yīng)基因,通常在大多數(shù)的組織和細(xì)胞中是沒(méi)有表達(dá)的,但是在炎性反應(yīng)、激素和腫瘤啟動(dòng)子中被高度誘導(dǎo),而COX-1(Cyclooxygense-1)的含量并無(wú)明顯的變化。腫瘤組織中COX-2的高度表達(dá),抑制COX-2活性與抗腫瘤作用直接相關(guān),而抗COX-2選擇性抑制劑有抗增殖作用。COX-2衍生的前列腺素E2(prostaglandin E2,PGE2)是一種促生物活性脂質(zhì),是主要的前列腺素。PGE2可促進(jìn)腫瘤生長(zhǎng)。研究表明,在人類多種惡性腫瘤如乳腺癌、腸癌、前列腺癌、肺癌、肝癌、頭頸部腫瘤等,COX-2及PGE2表達(dá)明顯上調(diào),活性增加。鑒于COX-2以及PGE2在腫瘤發(fā)生發(fā)展中的作用,但是目前對(duì)于COX-2和PGE2在子宮肌瘤組織中的表達(dá)及其與子宮肌瘤的發(fā)生發(fā)展的生物學(xué)關(guān)系并不十分清楚。 既往研究表明子宮肌瘤與雌激素和異常細(xì)胞增殖有關(guān),但并不清楚其確切的病理生理機(jī)制。有學(xué)者發(fā)現(xiàn)子宮肌瘤患者的子宮出現(xiàn)異常收縮。最近的研究表明,子宮深層組織,即內(nèi)膜下肌層組織,出現(xiàn)“蠕變收縮”,且平滑肌細(xì)胞運(yùn)動(dòng)機(jī)能下降但擴(kuò)散增強(qiáng)。所有這些研究提示異常的平滑肌收縮可能在子宮肌瘤病理生理過(guò)程中起著重要的作用,而其潛在的分子生物學(xué)機(jī)制尚不清楚,有待進(jìn)一步研究。鈣離子是啟動(dòng)細(xì)胞收縮的重要的上游信號(hào)分子。已知,子宮平滑肌興奮-收縮偶聯(lián)受雙重信號(hào)轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)通路的調(diào)節(jié),其中鈣離子信號(hào)轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)通路在細(xì)胞應(yīng)激過(guò)程中起著十分重要的作用。鈣通道蛋白是信號(hào)轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)過(guò)程中的分子開(kāi)關(guān),他們不僅調(diào)節(jié)細(xì)胞收縮還參與細(xì)胞周期的調(diào)節(jié),這與眾多腫瘤和致癌路徑緊密相關(guān)。瞬時(shí)鈣離子通道蛋白(calcium transient receptor potential channel,TRPC)是介導(dǎo)細(xì)胞Ca2+內(nèi)流的跨膜鈣通道蛋白,不僅調(diào)控細(xì)胞收縮運(yùn)動(dòng),而且參與細(xì)胞增殖周期調(diào)控,與多種腫瘤的發(fā)生發(fā)展關(guān)系密切。近年來(lái),鈣離子通道蛋白的研究領(lǐng)域取得顯著成績(jī)。研究表明,TRPC與異常的子宮收縮有關(guān),但其是否能促進(jìn)子宮肌瘤的增殖尚不清楚。 目前,人們對(duì)存在子宮肌瘤組織中的前列腺素和鈣通道的認(rèn)識(shí)十分有限,一些重要的環(huán)節(jié)需要我們進(jìn)一步求證。我們?cè)诒狙芯恐?擬開(kāi)展COX-2在子宮肌瘤組織及正常平滑肌組織中的表達(dá)及其對(duì)子宮肌瘤平滑肌細(xì)胞的增殖相關(guān)性研究,以明確COX-2與子宮肌瘤發(fā)病的相關(guān)性,并研究子宮肌瘤細(xì)胞鈣離子通道蛋白的表達(dá)情況,及其對(duì)肌瘤細(xì)胞增殖和PGE2分泌的影響、鈣離子的變化。該研究結(jié)果可能對(duì)進(jìn)一步加深我們對(duì)子宮肌瘤的發(fā)生發(fā)展機(jī)制有重要意義。

[Abstract]:Research background
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in reproductive organs of women of childbearing age. The incidence of uterine fibroids is increasing year by year. The clinical incidence is 20%-40%. The pathogenesis of uterine fibroids is still unknown. Uterine fibroids are steroid-dependent tumors, which are related to many factors, such as heredity, gene mutation and so on. In the past, the pathogenesis of uterine leiomyoma has been studied in the past. The role of prostaglandin system is rarely involved in the study.
Prostaglandins (PG) are derivatives of polyunsaturated fatty acids, arachidonic acid (aa). Prostaglandins are important hormones that regulate uterine contraction, while cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the pathway of PG production by AA and is also a non-steroidal anti-inflammation drug. COX-2 is an isoenzyme of COX (Cyclooxygense), an immediate early-response gene that is not normally expressed in most tissues and cells, but is involved in inflammatory reactions, hormones, and tumor promoters. High expression of COX-2 and inhibition of COX-2 activity are directly related to the anti-tumor effect, while anti-COX-2 selective inhibitors have anti-proliferative effect. COX-2-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a bioactive lipid and is the main one. Prostaglandin-PGE2 promotes tumor growth. Studies have shown that COX-2 and PGE2 are up-regulated and their activities are increased in many human malignant tumors such as breast, bowel, prostate, lung, liver, head and neck tumors. The expression and its biological relationship with the occurrence and development of uterine leiomyoma are not very clear.
Previous studies have shown that uterine leiomyoma is associated with estrogen and abnormal cell proliferation, but the exact pathophysiological mechanism is unclear. Some scholars have found abnormal contraction of the uterus in patients with uterine leiomyoma. Recent studies have shown that "creep contraction" occurs in the deep uterine tissue, i.e. the subendometrial myometrium, and smooth muscle cell motility. All these studies suggest that abnormal smooth muscle contraction may play an important role in the pathophysiological process of uterine leiomyoma, and the underlying molecular biological mechanisms remain unclear and need further study. Calcium ion is an important upstream signaling molecule that initiates cell contraction. Condensation coupling is regulated by dual signal transduction pathways, in which calcium ion signal transduction pathways play an important role in cell stress. Calcium channel proteins are molecular switches in signal transduction. They not only regulate cell contraction but also participate in cell cycle regulation, which is closely related to many tumors and carcinogenic pathways. Calcium transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) is a transmembrane calcium channel protein that mediates the influx of Ca2+ into cells. It not only regulates cell contraction, but also participates in the regulation of cell proliferation cycle. TRPC is closely related to the occurrence and development of various tumors. Studies have shown that TRPC is associated with abnormal uterine contractions, but whether TRPC can promote the proliferation of uterine leiomyomas remains unclear.
At present, the understanding of prostaglandins and calcium channels in uterine leiomyoma is very limited, and some important links need further confirmation. In this study, we intend to study the expression of COX-2 in uterine leiomyoma tissue and normal smooth muscle tissue and its correlation with the proliferation of uterine leiomyoma smooth muscle cells. To clarify the relationship between COX-2 and the pathogenesis of uterine leiomyoma, and to study the expression of calcium channel protein in uterine leiomyoma cells, its effect on the proliferation of leiomyoma cells, the secretion of PGE2, and the changes of calcium ions.

[Conclusion and significance]
The expression of COX-2 and the secretion of PGE2 were significantly increased in uterine leiomyoma tissues, and the proliferation rate of cultured uterine leiomyoma cells was significantly higher than that of normal uterine leiomyoma cells in vitro. Correlation suggests that COX-2 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of uterine leiomyoma.

To clarify the relationship between COX-2 and the pathogenesis of uterine leiomyoma, and to study the expression of calcium channel protein in uterine leiomyoma cells, its effect on the proliferation of leiomyoma cells, the secretion of PGE2, and the changes of calcium ions.

The innovation of this research
1. Starting with prostaglandin metabolism, we studied the role of COX2 and PGE2 in the occurrence and development of uterine leiomyoma, and provided new ideas for the pathogenesis of uterine leiomyoma.
2. Starting with NSAIDs, we try to block the development of uterine fibroids from inhibitors, and provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of uterine fibroids.
3. This study found that the expression of calcium channel protein TRPC1 and TRPM7 in uterine leiomyoma cells was significantly increased, and the proliferation of leiomyoma cells was significantly inhibited, the secretion of PGE2 was significantly inhibited, and the level of calcium was decreased by RNA interference. The development of uterine leiomyoma may be mediated by calcium transport pathway and COX2-induced PGE2 secretion pathway.
