摘要:

目的 分别选取肝细胞癌(hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC)合并门静脉癌栓(portal  vein tumor thrombus,PVTT)和HCC无PVTT的原发灶组织进行原代细胞分离、培养,并将培养稳定的细胞继续体外培养并行体外实验,初步对同一患者的HCC有无PVTT的特征进行研究。方法 取人HCC合并PVTT和HCC无PVTT的新鲜手术组织标本,利用酶消化法进行肿瘤细胞原代短暂培养并稳定传代。将得到稳定培养的细胞分为HCC无PVTT细胞组、HCC合并PVTT细胞组和PVTT细胞组,分别简称为HCC-PVTT(-)细胞组、HCC-PVTT(+)细胞组和PVTT细胞组。以流式细胞术检测仪检测CD90+细胞含量,采用qRT-PCR、Western blot法检测细胞培养后的HCC干细胞相关基因及其蛋白的表达。用Transwell小室检测细胞的侵袭性。结果 成功培养出原代的HCC细胞和原代PVTT细胞,并可稳定地传代。细胞表面标志物的干细胞含量、干细胞相关基因及其蛋白表达量及侵袭性均表现为PVTT细胞组> HCC-PVTT(+)细胞组,HCC-PVTT(+)细胞组> HCC-PVTT(-)细胞组,差异均有统计学意义(P均<0.05)。结论 HCC及PVTT组织中均存在CD90+肝癌干细胞,干细胞干性越强的原发灶具有更强的侵袭和转移能力。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the stem cell-like properties of primary cultures of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and portal vein tumor thrombus(PVTT) cells. Methods Fresh hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombosisand(PVTT)or not were used for short-term primary culture and stability batches by utilizing enzymatic digestion. We would be classify the stability of the cultured cells as HCC without PVTT, the T-primary tumor of HCC with PVTT and PVTT,called section of HCC-PVTT(-),HCC-PVTT(+)and PVTT. Flow cytometry detect the content of CD90+ and the expressions of relative gene and protein from HCC with PVTT or not,which were tested by qRT-PCR and Western blot methods. Testing the cells of invasion by Transwell chamber. Results We successfully cultured primary HCC cells and PVTT cells. Flow cytometry revealed the presence of a CD90+ subpopulation in both types of cultures. The different cultures varied in invasiveness as follows:PVTT cells>HCC-PVTT(+) cells>HCC-PVTT(+) cells>HCC-PVTT(-)cells(P<0.05). Conclusions Stem cell-like populations exist in HCC and PVTT tissue,and their stem cell characteristics correlate positively with tumor invasion and metastasis.
