摘要: 目的 探讨抑制元素l-沉默转录因子4 (repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor 4,REST4)基因对胶质细胞瘤U87细胞增殖、凋亡、迁移的影响及可能的作用机制。方法  将REST4-siRNA转染至胶质细胞瘤U87细胞(si-REST4组),同时设置siRNA阴性对照组(si-NC组)及空白对照组(Control组)。采用实时荧光定量PCR检测REST4 mRNA的表达水平,MTT法检测细胞增殖能力,Annexin V-FITC/PI 双染法检测细胞凋亡情况,划痕实验检测细胞迁移能力,Western blot检测U87细胞中REST4、PI3K、AKT、mTOR、p-PI3K、p-AKT和p-mTOR蛋白的表达水平。结果  转染后,与Control组及si-NC组相比,si-REST4组U87细胞中REST4 mRNA及蛋白表达水平下调(P<0.05),细胞增殖能力降低(P<0.05),细胞凋亡比例增加(P<0.05),细胞迁移率降低(P<0.05)。Western blot检测结果显示,与Control组及si-NC组相比,si-REST4组U87细胞PI3K、AKT、mTOR、p-PI3K、p-AKT、p-mTOR蛋白表达水平均降低(P<0.05)。结论 REST4可能通过 PI3K/AKT/mTOR信号通路抑制胶质细胞瘤U87细胞增殖、迁移并促进其凋亡。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor 4 (REST4) gene on the proliferation, apoptosis and migration of glioma U87 cells and its possible mechanism. Methods REST4-siRNA was transfected into glioma U87 cells (si-REST4 group), while siRNA negative control group (si-NC group) and Control group were set up. The expression of REST4 was detected by the real-time quantitative PCR, the ability of cell proliferation was detected by MTT method, the cell apoptosis rate was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining, and the ability of cell migration was detected by scratch test. The expressions of REST4, PI3K, AKT, mTOR, p-PI3K, p-AKT and p-mTOR proteins in U87 cells were detected by Western blot. Results Compared with the Control group and si-NC group, the REST4 mRNA and protein levels of U87 cells in the si-REST4 group were down-regulated (P<0.05), the ability of cell proliferation decreased (P<0.05), the proportion of cell apoptosis increased(P<0.05), and the cell migration decreased (P<0.05). Western blot showed that compared with the Control group and the si-NC group, the protein expression levels of PI3K, AKT, mTOR, p-PI3K, p-AKT and p-mTOR of U87 cells in the si-REST4 group decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions REST4 may inhibit the proliferation and migration of glioma U87 cells and promote their apoptosis through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway.
