摘要: 目的 探索线粒体内膜转运酶 8A(TIMM8A)在吉非替尼抑制人肺腺癌细胞系PC-9增殖过程中的表达变化及分子机制。方法 转染TIMM8A siRNA用于降低TIMM8A在PC-9及吉非替尼耐药PC-9细胞株(PC-9-MTAC)中的表达水平;CCK-8法评估TIMM8A siRNA转染或吉非替尼药物作用后,PC-9及PC-9-MTAC活力变化;QPCR评估TIMM8A在PC-9及PC-9-MTAC中的表达情况。结果 吉非替尼能够以浓度依赖的方式抑制PC-9细胞增殖。进一步研究发现:TIMM8A在该过程中表达明显降低,即仅25 nmol/L吉非替尼作用PC-9细胞48 h即可抑制超过50%的TIMM8A表达,而敲低该蛋白表达可显著增强吉非替尼对PC-9细胞增殖的抑制效果(P<0.05)。与敏感株相比,100 nmol/L吉非替尼作用PC-9-MTAC 48 h仅抑制约30%的TIMM8A表达。并且,抑制TIMM8A表达能够提升PC-9-MTAC细胞对吉非替尼的药物敏感性(P<0.05)。结论 TIMM8A低表达能够有效提升肺癌细胞PC-9对吉非替尼的敏感性。

Abstract: Objective To explore the alteration and function of TIMM8A during gefitinib-induced growth inhibition of lung cancer cell line PC-9. Methods TIMM8A siRNA transfection experiment was used to inhibit the expression of TIMM8A in PC-9 and gefitinib resistant PC-9 cells (PC-9-MTAC). CCK-8 assay was carried out to assess PC-9 and PC-9-MTAC cell viability after gefitinib treatment or TIMM8A siRNA transfection. qPCR was used to determine TIMM8A expression in PC-9 or PC-9-MTAC cells. Results Gefitinib inhibited PC-9 cell growth in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of TIMM8A was inhibited during this process, and more than 50% TIMM8A expression had been inhibited by 25 nmol/L gefitinib, while knockdown of TIMM8A enhanced inhibitory effects of gefitinib on PC-9 cell proliferation(P<0.05). Compared with the sensitive cells, treatment of the gefitinib-resistant PC-9-MTAC with 100 nmol/L gefitinib for 48 h only inhibited approximately 30% of TIMM8A expression. Furthermore, inhibition of TIMM8A expression enhanced the sensitivity of PC-9-MTAC cells to gefitinib(P<0.05). Conclusions Low expression of TIMM8A improves anti-tumor effects of gefitinib in lung cancer cell line PC-9.
