摘要: 目的 探讨胰腺癌细胞中法尼酯X受体(FXR)与基质金属蛋白酶7(MMP7)表达的相关性,并阐明FXR对胰腺癌细胞增殖的作用。方法 通过体外实验(CCK-8、RT-PCR、Western blot)检测FXR对胰腺癌细胞(BxPC-3、PANC-1)增殖及MMP7表达的调控作用。结合GEPIA2数据库分析FXR和MMP7在胰腺癌组织中的表达及预后意义;免疫组化染色在组织水平验证二者表达相关性。结果 激活FXR(GW4064)显著抑制胰腺癌细胞增殖(P<0.05),并下调MMP7的mRNA和蛋白表达(P<0.001、P<0.01);抑制FXR(NDB)促进胰腺癌细胞增殖(P<0.01),并上调MMP7的mRNA和蛋白表达(P<0.01)。MMP7在胰腺癌组织中高表达(P<0.05),并且与患者不良预后显著相关(P<0.05),而FXR对预后的影响无统计学意义。免疫组化(n=16)结果提示FXR与MMP7表达呈负相关(R2=0.536 9)。结论 FXR通过负调控MMP7抑制胰腺癌细胞增殖,提示胆汁酸(BAs)-FXR-MMP7轴可能成为胰腺癌治疗的潜在靶点。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7) in pancreatic cancer cells, and to elucidate the role of FXR in regulating pancreatic cancer cell proliferation. Methods The effects of FXR on proliferation and MMP7 expression in pancreatic cancer cells (BxPC-3, PANC-1) were evaluated by in vitro experiments (CCK-8 assay, RT-PCR and Western blot). Bioinformatics analysis using GEPIA2 was performed to assess FXR/MMP7 expression and clinical prognosis in pancreatic cancer tissues, with immunohistochemistry (IHC) validating their correlation. Results FXR activation by GW4064 significantly inhibited pancreatic cancer cell proliferation (P<0.05) and down-regulated MMP7 mRNA and protein levels (P<0.01); while FXR inhibition by NDB significantly increased pancreatic cancer cell proliferation (P<0.01) and upregulated the expression of MMP7 mRNA and protein(P<0.001,P<0.01). Bioinformatics analysis indicated that MMP7 was highly expressed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues (P<0.05), and its high expression was significantly associated with poor patient prognosis (P<0.05); while no statistically significant association was found between FXR and prognosis. IHC (n=16) suggested an inverse correlation between FXR and MMP7 expression (R2=0.536 9). Conclusions FXR suppresses pancreatic cancer cell proliferation by negatively regulating MMP7, suggesting the BA(bile acid)-FXR-MMP7 axis as a potential therapeutic target.
