摘要: 目的 探讨癌基因DEK与转录因子AP-2α在乳腺癌变中的相互作用及在HER2过量表达、乳腺癌变中的病理学意义。方法 用Western blot检测组织中DEK、AP-2α和HER2蛋白水平之间的相关性;免疫共沉淀检测DEK和AP-2α在MDA-MB-453乳腺癌细胞中的相互作用;通过siRNA抑制MDA-MB-453细胞中DEK和AP-2α的表达,用半定量RT-PCR 和Western blot检测HER2的表达。结果 乳腺癌组织中DEK、AP-2α和HER2的蛋白水平之间显示一定的相关性, DEK和AP-2α在MDA-MB-453细胞内有相互作用,siRNA抑制DEK和AP-2α的表达可协同抑制MDA-MB-453细胞中HER2 mRNA和蛋白的表达。结论 本研究证明癌基因DEK和转录因子AP-2α协同促进乳腺癌中HER2的高表达。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the pathological significance of DEK-AP-2α interaction in HER2 overexpression and breast tumorigenesis. Methods The protein level of DEK,AP-2α and HER-2 in breast tumor tissues was detected by Western blot. The interaction of DEK and AP-2α in MDA-MB-453 mammary cancer cells was detected by immuno-coprecipitation. Furthermore the impact of DEK and AP-2α on HER2 expression was investigated by siRNA in MDA-MB-453 mammary cancer cells followed by semi-quantitive RT-PCR and Western blot. Resluts A correlation between DEK, AP-2α and HER2 levels in breast cancer tissues were observed. The interaction between DEK and AP-2α in MDA-MB-453 cells was verified by co-immunoprecipitation assay. Depletion of DEK and AP-2α in MDA-MB-453 cell by siRNA cooperatively repressed HER2 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels. Conclution This study provides oncogene DEK cooperates with AP-2α transcriptional factor to promote HER2 overexpression in breast cancer.
