方法
A549细胞加入浓度分别为0、20、30、40 μmol/L的吉非替尼,H1975细胞加入浓度分别为0、20、40、80 μmol/L的吉非替尼。采用MTT法检测吉非替尼对非小细胞肺癌细胞的增殖抑制作用。用乳酸试剂盒检测细胞内乳酸的变化,Western blot法检测细胞内糖酵解相关蛋白(PKM2、HK2)和PI3K-Akt-mTOR信号通路中蛋白的表达水平;2-NBDG检测细胞葡萄糖摄取能力,ATP试剂盒检测胞内ATP水平;JC-1试剂盒检测细胞线粒体膜电位,Annexin V-FITC/PI双染法检测细胞凋亡,Western blot法检测凋亡蛋白(Bax、Bcl-2)以及自噬标志蛋白LC3B的相对表达水平。
结果
MTT结果显示吉非替尼可呈时间剂量依赖性的抑制A549和H1975细胞增殖(P < 0.05),A549细胞24、48、72 h的IC50值分别为48.6、28.6和19.7 μmol/L,H1975细胞24、48、72 h的IC50值分别为321.6、49.1和14.6 μmol/L。乳酸检测结果显示,吉非替尼抑制胞内乳酸水平(P < 0.05)。Western blot结果显示,糖酵解相关蛋白PKM2、HK2表达下调(P < 0.05),PI3K-Akt-mTOR信号通路中相关蛋白表达下调(P < 0.05)。吉非替尼也可以抑制A549和H1975细胞葡萄糖摄取、ATP水平(P < 0.05)。JC-1试剂盒和Annexin V-FITC/PI双染法检测出吉非替尼能够诱导A549和H1975细胞发生凋亡,A549细胞中0、20、30、40 μmol/L的凋亡率分别为(10.77±1.0)%、(14.5±0.4)%、(17.4±0.2)%、(32.1±0.6)%,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05);而H1975细胞0、20、40、80 μmol/L的凋亡率分别为(10.5±0.6)%、(13.2±0.92)%、(18.9±0.98)%、(35.1± 1.4)%,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。促凋亡蛋白Bax表达增加和抑凋亡蛋白Bcl-2表达下调(P < 0.05)。同时LC3B表达增加证明吉非替尼能够诱导A549和H1975细胞自噬增加(P < 0.05)。

Abstract
Objective
To observe the cell death pattern induced by gefitinib in non-small cell lung cancer A549 and H1975 cells and explore the possible mechanism in light of glycolysis.
Methods
The inhibitory effects of gefitinib at 20, 30, or 40 μmol/L in A549 cells and at 20, 40, or 80 μmol/L in H1975 cells were examined using MTT assay. The changes of lactic acid level in the cells were determined with a lactic acid kit, and the expression levels of glycolysis-related proteins (PKM2 and HK2) and the proteins in PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway were detected using Western blotting. 2-NBDG was used for detecting glucose uptake capacity of the cells, and ATP kit was used to detect the intracellular ATP level. The mitochondrial membrane potential of the cells was examined with the JC-1 kit, and cell apoptosis was analyzed with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. The relative expression levels of the apoptotic proteins Bax and Bcl-2 and the autophagy marker protein LC3B were detected with Western blotting.
Results
MTT assay showed that gefitinib inhibited the proliferation of A549 and H1975 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). The IC50 of gefitinib at 24, 48 and 72 h was 48.6, 28.6 and 19.7 μmol/L in A549 cells and was 321.6, 49.1 and 14.6 μmol/L in H1975 cells, respectively. Gefitinib significantly lowered intracellular lactic acid level of the cells (P < 0.05) and down-regulated the expressions of PKM2 and HK2 proteins (P < 0.05) and PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway-associated proteins (P < 0.05). Gefitinib obviously inhibited glucose uptake and ATP levels in both A549 and H1975 cells (P < 0.05). Treatment with gefitinib induced obviously enhanced apoptosis in the cells, resulting in apoptosis rates of (10.77± 1.0)%, (14.5±0.4)%, (17.4±0.2)% and (32.1±0.6)% at 0, 20, 30 and 40 μmol/L in A549 cells (P < 0.05) and of (10.5±0.6)%, (13.2± 0.92)%, (18.9±0.98)% and (35.1±1.4)% at 0, 20, 40 and 80 μmol/L in H1975 cells, respectively (P < 0.05). The protein expression of Bax increased and that of Bcl-2 decreased following gefitinib treatment in the cells (P < 0.05). Gefitinib significantly increased autophagy in A549 and H1975 cells as shown by increased LC3B expressions following the treatment (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Gefitinib can inhibit the proliferation, induce apoptosis and increase autophagy in A549 and H1975 cells. Gefitinib induces apoptosis of the cells possibly by affecting glycolysis and PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway.

肺癌是全世界最常见和致命的恶性肿瘤之一,非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)占所有肺癌病例的85%[1-2]。由于NSCLC被诊断时通常具有分期晚、病情复杂、并发症多、预后不良等特点,多数患者失去手术机会,化疗是治疗的主要手段[3]。尽管近年手术、放疗和化疗方面均取得了显著进展,但肺癌患者的5年生存率仅为20%[4]。表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)是细胞增殖、存活和代谢的主要调节剂之一[5]。目前,EGFR突变的NSCLC患者的一线治疗选择是表皮生长因子受体酪氨酸激酶抑制剂:包括吉非替尼、厄洛替尼、克唑替尼、阿法替尼、AZD9291等,可抑制癌细胞生长,改善患者生活质量并提高生存期[6-9]。其中吉非替尼是应用于EGFR突变的NSCLC患者的常用一线治疗药物,但因其耐药现象的产生,限制了其临床疗效。尽管已开发出第2或第3代酪氨酸激酶抑制剂,耐药仍然是NSCLC治疗的主要障碍。许多研究者尝试解决该问题,也提出了一些解决方案,但效果并未达到预期[10-13]。这使得我们思考,解决耐药问题是否可以追本溯源,除了从经典的耐药机制入手外,是否可从探寻其他作用机制的方向去研究。
肿瘤细胞的能量代谢一直是热点研究方向,而使用糖代谢抑制剂来降低肿瘤细胞的能量也是其中一个重要的治疗靶点[14]。但耐药NSCLC的分子代谢尚不清楚。虽有研究表明,吉非替尼耐药与线粒体生物能、GLUT1、MCT-1以及Mcl-1等糖酵解相关蛋白的表达有关[15-17],但相关研究相对其他领域而言较少,对照研究则更少,需要更多或更深入的研究,且了解TKI耐药形成过程中不同表型的分子代谢机制也有助于进一步制定治疗策略。故本实验选取A549细胞(EGFR野生型)和H1975细胞EGFR双重突变(L858R/T790M)作为研究对象[18-19],探究吉非替尼对非小细胞肺癌A549和H1975死亡形式的影响,并从糖酵解方面探讨该药物发挥作用以及发生耐药现象的可能机制,并探讨PI3KAkt- mTOR通道与吉非替尼影响非小细胞肺癌的糖酵解是否相关联。

2.5. 吉非替尼对A549和H1975细胞凋亡的影响
JC-1结果显示,吉非替尼降低了A549和H1975细胞的线粒体膜电位(图 5A、C,P < 0.05)。Annexin VFITC/ PI双染法检验凋亡结果,A549对照组总凋亡率为(10.77±1.0)%,20、30、40 μmol/L吉非替尼组的总凋亡率分别为(14.5±0.4)%、(17.4±0.2)%、(32.1±0.6)%。H1975对照组的总凋亡率为(10.5±0.6)%,20、40、80 μmol/L吉非替尼组的总凋亡率分别为(13.2±0.92)%、(18.9± 0.98)%、(35.1±1.4)%,差异具有统计学意义(图 5E、F,P < 0.05)。为进一步研究吉非替尼诱导的A549和H1975细胞凋亡的可能机制,通过蛋白质印迹检测了凋亡蛋白的表达水平,结果显示随着吉非替尼浓度的增加,A549和H1975细胞促凋亡蛋白Bax的蛋白表达上调(图 5I、J,P < 0.05),而抑凋亡蛋白Bcl-2表达下调(图 5K、L,P < 0.05)。
2.6. 吉非替尼诱导A549和H1975细胞自噬增加
为研究吉非替尼对A549和H1975细胞除凋亡以外的死亡形式,使用蛋白质印迹方法检测自噬标志蛋白LC3B的表达水平,结果显示,随着吉非替尼浓度的增加,A549和H1975组细胞自噬标志蛋白LC3B的表达增加(图 6,P < 0.05)。
3. 讨论
糖酵解异常增加是快速增殖癌细胞的共同特征,与正常分化的细胞不同,大多数癌症不管氧气水平如何,细胞都会产生大量的乳酸,这种代谢特性通常称为“有氧糖酵解”[20-21]。癌细胞的新陈代谢重编程是维持细胞增殖并成为癌症的标志[22],己糖激酶(HK)和丙酮酸激酶(PK)是调节糖酵解中两个不可逆步骤的两个关键酶。HK同工酶1-4催化葡萄糖的磷酸化,是糖酵解两个不可逆步骤的第一步,HK2与癌症的促进有关,并已被提议作为潜在的治疗靶标[23]。PK催化磷酸烯醇丙酮酸的去磷酸化为丙酮酸,这是糖酵解过程中最后不可逆的步骤,大多数肿瘤细胞会重新表达PKM2,在有氧糖酵解中,从PKM1到PKM2的转变是公认的代谢重编程事件[24-26],敲低PKM2可以抑制细胞增殖和肿瘤生长[27]。吉非替尼耐药的经典机制是EGFR基因二次突变[28],其他研究发现的机制:如激活IL-6/JAK1/STAT3信号通路[29]、Kras基因突变[30]、激活IGF1R介导的信号通路[31]等,少有人从能量代谢的角度去思考和解决问题。而本实验从糖酵解方面探讨吉非替尼对A549和H1975细胞死亡形式的影响,首先发现吉非替尼能够同时抑制A549和H1975细胞糖酵解相关蛋白PKM2和HK2以及糖酵解最终产物乳酸的生成,但从结果中发现吉非替尼对H1975细胞糖酵解抑制作用较小。
PI3K-Akt-mTOR信号通路是EGFR的主要下游途径之一,EGFR的酪氨酸磷酸化充当PI3K的停靠位点,然后刺激了磷脂酰肌醇3, 4, 5-三磷酸的生成并促进Akt的激活[32],而PI3K-Akt-mTOR通路的过度激活会抑制凋亡并改善肿瘤生长[33-34]。本实验发现吉非替尼对A549和H1975细胞的PI3K-Akt-mTOR通路均有抑制作用,但对H1975细胞PI3K-Akt-mTOR通路的抑制作用较小。Akt可通过将葡萄糖转运蛋白从细胞质转运到质膜来增加葡萄糖的摄取[35]。本实验发现吉非替尼可以通过抑制A549和H1975细胞摄取葡萄糖来降低ATP水平进而诱导细胞调亡。此外,有研究证明Akt调控糖酵解途径涉及改变磷酸果糖激酶II的活性[36],也有研究证明一些药物可通过抑制癌细胞的Akt表达来抑制己糖激酶,从而抑制糖酵解过程[37-38]。而本研究发现吉非替尼对H1975细胞Akt表达的抑制作用较弱,这可能是吉非替尼对H1975的糖酵解抑制水平较弱的作用机制之一。另有研究表明癌细胞可通过开放电压依赖性阴离子通道增加线粒体代谢、提高线粒体膜电位,导致胞质ATP/ADP比率增高,从而抑制糖酵解[39]。本研究发现使用不同浓度的吉非替尼处理细胞后,H1975细胞的线粒体膜电位相对更高,而A549细胞的线粒体膜电位降低较为明显,这亦可能是吉非替尼对H1975的糖酵解抑制水平较弱的作用机制之一。但这些理论中涉及的具体机制有待进一步实验去验证。
mTOR是自噬的主要负调节剂[40],它是mTORC1复合体的一部分,故mTORC1受上游PI3K / Akt途径的调控[41-42]。自噬在癌症中起着双重作用,它既显示出致癌活性又可起到抑制作用[43]。有报道称通过PI3K/Akt/ mTOR途径可促进细胞存活,阻止过度自噬导致的细胞死亡[44]。而本实验中发现吉非替尼能够诱导A549和H1975细胞增加自噬而诱导细胞死亡。
综上所述,吉非替尼可诱导A549和H1975细胞凋亡也可增加细胞自噬,其凋亡机制可能为吉非替尼影响A549和H1975细胞糖酵解蛋白和PI3K-Akt-mTOR信号通路。而在本实验中A549细胞为吉非替尼敏感株,H1975细胞则对吉非替尼不敏感,而两者糖酵解水平的差异可能与Akt的表达以及线粒体膜电位水平变化等机制有关。本研究为糖酵解抑制剂的临床应用提供了实验基础,也为非小细胞肺癌的治疗以及提高其对吉非替尼的敏感性提供了新的方法和思路。
