Abstract
探讨miR-206/CDK4信号在卵巢癌生长和化疗增敏中的作用。
方法
分别提取卵巢癌和癌旁组织总RNA并将它们逆转录成cDNA。实时荧光定量PCR检测miR-206在卵巢癌和癌旁组织中差异表达。在将miR-206 mimic和其特异抑制剂以及它们各自对照分别转染卵巢癌细胞后,MTT和流式细胞仪用于检测细胞增殖和细胞周期的改变。Western blot和荧光素酶报告基因活性分析鉴定miR-206的靶基因和其调控信号通路。miR-206诱导5-Fu对卵巢癌细胞化疗增敏作用被鉴定。
结果
荧光定量PCR分析显示,miR-206在卵巢癌组织中表达明显下调。在转染miR-206 mimics后,细胞的增殖明显抑制,细胞周期也出现G/S转化障碍。机制分析显示,miR-206 mimic能明显抑制CDK4,c-Myc和CCND1表达。与之相反,在使用miR-206特异抑制剂后,细胞的增殖能力明显恢复,而CDK4表达能明显增高。荧光素酶报告基因活性分析显示,miR-206能直接结合CDK43'UTR。药敏分析显示,miR-206能明显降低IC50值(P<0.001),从而增加5-Fu对卵巢癌细胞的敏感性。
结论
miR-206作为候选抑癌基因,直接靶击CDK4基因,从而抑制了卵巢癌细胞生长,并诱导了5-Fu对卵巢癌细胞的化疗敏感性。

Abstract
Objective
To explore role of miR-206 in modulating the growth and chemotherapy sensitivity in ovarian cancer cells. Methods Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-206 in ovarian cancer and normal ovarian tissues. Ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells were transfected with a miR-206 mimic or a specific inhibitor of miR-206, and MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the changes in cell growth and cell cycle transition. Western blotting and luciferase reporter gene assay were employed to identify the target gene and signal pathways of miR-206. The effect of miR-206 on the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to 5-Fu was assessed.
Results
miR-206 was down-regulated in ovarian cancer tissues compared to normal ovarian tissues. Transfection of SKOV3 cells with the miR-206 mimic resulted in obvious growth suppression and delayed cell cycle transition from G1 to S phase by suppressing CDK4, c-Myc, and CCND1 expressions. Transfection with the miR-206 inhibitor obviously promoted the cell growth and significantly increased CDK4 expression in the cells. Luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that miR-206 could directly bind to the 3'UTR of CDK4 gene and reduce the activity of luciferase. Transfection of SKOV3 cells with miR-206 significantly lowered the IC50 of 5-Fu to enhance the chemotherapy sensitivity of the cells to 5-Fu.
Conclusion
As a potential tumor suppressor, miR-206 directly targets CDK4 to suppress the cell growth and enhance the chemotherapy sensitivity to 5-Fu in ovarian cancer cells in vitro.

卵巢恶性肿瘤是女性生殖器官常见的恶性肿瘤之一, 其发病原因复杂,可能与物理、化学、免疫功能抑制、内分泌、遗传以及饮食营养失调等有关,导致一些肿瘤相关基因表达失调[1-3],从而诱导卵巢癌发病并诱导化疗抵抗[3]。因此,积极寻找与卵巢癌发病与化疗抵抗相关基因将进一步有助于理解卵巢癌发病机理以及对治疗方案选择。
MicroRNAs(miRNAs)是在真核生物中发现的一类内源性的具有调控功能的非编码RNA,其大小长约20~25个核苷酸。在过去一些年中,miRNAs已经被报导作通过靶击重要基因参与了肿瘤发病过程,这表明miRNAs在肿瘤发生发展过程中的重要性[4-6]。在以往研究中,miR-206被报导作为抑癌基因参加了一些肿瘤的发病过程,包括卵巢癌,然而其直接靶击CDK4抑制卵巢癌细胞生长并诱导化疗增敏目前还没有任何报导。在本研究中,我们主要探讨miR-206直接靶击促进细胞周期G1/S转化关键基因CDK4的表达,从而诱导了5-Fu对卵巢癌细胞的化疗敏感性,为卵巢癌的治疗提供了新的治疗靶点。

3. 讨论
卵巢癌是女性生殖系统常见肿瘤之一,预后较差,这与其复杂的发病机理有关。miR-206作为肌肉性miR-1家族成员,是一个骨骼肌特异表达的miRNA,参与了肌肉发育过程。近年来,越来越多的研究发现,miR-206参与了肿瘤发病过程。在大肠癌中,miR-206被报导直接靶击FMNL2[8]和NOTCH3[9]基因,从而抑制大肠癌细胞的生长、游走和侵袭。在非小细胞肺癌中,Sun等发现,miR-206直接抑制c-Met,BCL-2和SOX9诱导细胞凋亡,抑制细胞增殖、游走和侵袭[10-11]。在乳腺癌中,miR-206能直接靶击Cx43,PKFFB3,Actin-binding protein coronin 1C和cyclinD2蛋白,从而降低了细胞增殖和侵袭[12-15]。除此之外,CCND1作为miR-206靶基因,参与了miR-206介导前列腺癌生长抑制[16]。而在卵巢癌中,miR-206被观察到能直接靶击Estrogen receptor(ERα),从而抑制卵巢癌细胞生长和侵袭[7]。然而,miR-206是否直接靶击其它靶标参与卵巢癌发病过程仍需进一步调查。
在本次研究中,我们首先观察到miR-206在卵巢癌组织中表达明显下调。该结果类似于Li<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b7">7</xref>]</sup>等研究,建议miR-206参与了卵巢癌发病过程。在随后的研究中,我们发现miR-206在卵巢癌细胞中能抑制细胞周期转换,因此抑制了细胞的增殖,该结果支持了miR-206在卵巢癌中发挥了候选抑癌基因作用。为了寻找miR-206在卵巢癌中抑制细胞生长的分子机理,我们利用在线网站(<a href="http://www.microrna.org/microrna">http://www.microrna.org/microrna</a>)预测到CDK4是miR-206直接作用候选靶标。CDK4是一类丝/苏氨酸激酶,能与细胞周期素D(cyclin D)结合,从而促进细胞由G1期向S期转换。在以往的研究中,CDK4过表达参与了较多的肿瘤发病过程,包括肺癌和卵巢癌等<sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b18">18</xref>]</sup>。进一步,我们使用miR-206 mimics转染卵巢癌细胞,观察到CDK4表达明显抑制。除此之外,我们还发现,细胞细胞周期关键因子c-Myc和CCND1表达也明显抑制。与此相反,在使用miR-206特异抑制剂后能明显恢复CDK4在卵巢癌细胞中的表达。荧光素酶报告基因活性分析显示,miR-206能特异结合到CDK4 3’UTR,明显抑制荧光素酶活性。以上这些结果表明,miR-206通过直接靶击CDK4,进一步抑制细胞周期其它因子的表达,从而降低了卵巢癌细胞生长。
细胞周期阻滞能有效的增加5-Fu在肿瘤细胞中的敏感性[19-20]。在以往研究中,miR-206是否诱导卵巢癌细胞5-Fu化疗增敏作用一直未有报导。在本次研究中,我们观察到,miR-206能直接靶击细胞周期关键因子CDK4,从而抑制卵巢癌细胞的生长。我们推测,miR-206应该能有效提高化疗药物5-Fu治疗的敏感性。一致于该推测,在转染miR-206 mimic后能明显降低5-Fu在卵巢癌细胞中的IC50值,从而增加对5-Fu的卵巢癌的化疗敏感性。
miR-206作为候选抑癌基因,通过直接靶击CDK4以及其介导的细胞周期信号,从而抑制了细胞的生长,诱导了5-Fu化疗敏感性。因此,我们的研究表明了miR-206在卵巢癌发病过程中的重要性。
