放射抗拒性鼻咽癌细胞系的建立及差异表达基因

目的 筛选同一来源放射敏感性不同鼻咽癌细胞基因差异表达,探讨鼻咽癌放射抗拒机理.方法 用X射线间歇多次照射鼻咽癌细胞株CNE-2建立放射抗拒性细胞CNE-2R,采用BioStarH-141s型基因芯片检测CNE-2与CNE-2R差异表达基因.结果 CNE-2和CNE-2R细胞有差异表达的基因308条,上调176个,下调132个.在差异表达的基因中,有76个位点出现6倍以上的差异,其中36个下调、40个上调,包括与DNA修复相关、细胞周期、凋亡、细胞骨架相关蛋白、细胞增殖、代谢、蛋白质合成、信号转导、免疫相关等方面相关的基因,基因分布变化较明显的主要是DNA修复相关基因、细胞骨架、细胞周期和凋亡相关基因.结论 CNE-2细胞反复照射后产生放射抗拒性细胞,在基因水平上发生了某些突变,通过调控其中相关基因,就有可能调控细胞的放射敏感性.

Establishment of radioresistant human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and the differential gene expression by cDNA microarray analysis

Objective To observe the differential gene expression in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell line with different radiosensitivity by cDNA microarray analysis. Methods A radioresistant cell line, CNE-2R, was established from a human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells line CNE-2 by repeated X-ray irradiation. The differential gene expression of CNE-2 and CNE-2R was screened with cDNA microarray by BioStarH-141s profile gene chip. Results There were expressed 308 genes to be screened out between CNE-2R cell line with different radiosensitivity and its parental CNE-2 cell line, while 176 up-regulated genes in CNE-2R cells and 132 down-regulated genes were found. In them, there were 40 up-regulated ones and 36 down-regulated ones whose ratios were higher than 6.0 or lower than 0.1. The different genes included DNA damage- and repair-related genes; cell cycle-related and cytoskeleton-related proteins; and apoptosis-related genes. Conclusion The radioresistant CNE-2R cells were isolated from the CNE-2 cell line by repeated X-ray irradiation. The stable radioresistance is the result of co-effect by polygene and multiple factors, which provide several gene targets to sensitize the radioresistant cells for improving the radiocurability of NPC.
