摘要: 目的 探讨PKM2下调对乳腺癌他莫昔芬(TAM)耐药MCF-7细胞系侵袭、迁移的影响。方法 以浓度梯度法诱导获得乳腺癌他莫昔芬耐药细胞系(MCF-7R);细胞增殖与凋亡试剂盒(CCK-8)检测细胞增殖能力;Western blot检测细胞PKM2的表达;将表达针对PKM2的shRNA慢病毒干扰载体感染耐药细胞系,RT-qPCR、Western blot验证干扰效果,分别用Transwell侵袭实验、划痕实验检测细胞侵袭、迁移能力。结果 与MCF-7细胞相比,MCF-7R细胞对他莫昔芬的抵抗能力显著增强(P<0.01 ),PKM2的表达水平明显升高(P<0.01 )。稳定干扰PKM2的耐药细胞中PKM2的mRNA和蛋白水平较对照组均明显下降(P<0.01 ),PKM2干扰后可明显抑制MCF-7R细胞的侵袭、迁移能力(P<0.01 )。结论 MCF-7R细胞中PKM2表达明显高于MCF-7细胞,沉默PKM2可以抑制MCF-7R细胞的侵袭和迁移能力。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of PKM2 down-regulation on invasion and migration in tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer MCF-7 cell line. Methods The tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cell line (MCF-7R) was established by increasing tamoxifen concentration in a stepwise manner. CCK-8 was used to measure the proliferation of cells. The protein expression of PKM2 was determined by Western blot. shRNA for PKM2 gene lentiviral interference vectors were infected into MCF-7R cells, the effect of interference was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Cell invasion and migration abilities were measured by transwell and wound-healing assays. Results The capability of tamoxifen resistance in MCF-7R cells was dramatically enhanced compared to that in MCF-7 cells (P<0.01). Protein level of PKM2 was markedly increased in MCF-7R cells (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein levels of PKM2 declined obviously in PKM2-silented MCF-7R cells (P<0.01). We also demonstrated that knockdown of PKM2 significantly inhibit the invasion and migration of MCF-7R cells (P<0.01). Conclusions The expression of PKM2 is apparently higher in MCF-7R than that in MCF-7 cells. Moreover, knockdown of PKM2 can inhibit the migration and invasion of MCF-7R cells.
