PAX2(Paired Box2)基因是胚胎發(fā)育基因,在胚胎發(fā)育過程中發(fā)揮重要的調(diào)控作用。尤其在腎臟,其是腎臟發(fā)育過程中前腎、中腎和后腎重要的調(diào)控基因。PAX2基因主要通過誘導(dǎo)腎小管上皮細胞轉(zhuǎn)分化發(fā)揮調(diào)控作用[1-3]。有學(xué)者[4-7]發(fā)現(xiàn)在病變大鼠體內(nèi)出現(xiàn)PAX2基因重新表達,并可能調(diào)控轉(zhuǎn)分化作用。在體外研究中發(fā)現(xiàn)PAX2基因轉(zhuǎn)染腎小管上皮細胞后出現(xiàn)纖維表型標(biāo)志物的增加以及上皮細胞表型標(biāo)志物的減少[8]。判定細胞出現(xiàn)上皮細胞轉(zhuǎn)分化的標(biāo)志除了出現(xiàn)表型的轉(zhuǎn)變外還表現(xiàn)為細胞侵襲及遷移能力的增加。本研究將首先構(gòu)建PAX2穩(wěn)轉(zhuǎn)細胞系,進一步探討PAX2穩(wěn)轉(zhuǎn)細胞系細胞侵襲及遷移能力,為臨床疾病治療提供實驗依據(jù)。

3討論
PAX2基因為胚胎發(fā)育基因,既往研究表明PAX2在病理腎臟出現(xiàn)重新表達,認(rèn)為其可能通過調(diào)控腎小管上皮細胞轉(zhuǎn)分化調(diào)控疾病發(fā)生,但具體機制不清楚。腎小管上皮細胞轉(zhuǎn)分化發(fā)生中重要的一步即細胞出現(xiàn)了遷移及侵襲能力的增強[9],故本研究通過建立PAX2穩(wěn)轉(zhuǎn)細胞系,探討PAX2轉(zhuǎn)染是否導(dǎo)致細胞的侵襲及遷移能力增強,為進一步探討PAX2基因調(diào)控腎小管上皮細胞轉(zhuǎn)分化提供依據(jù)。

本實驗應(yīng)用脂質(zhì)體介導(dǎo)轉(zhuǎn)染法將PAX2質(zhì)粒轉(zhuǎn)染入大鼠腎小管上皮細胞,G418是目前廣泛應(yīng)用的穩(wěn)定轉(zhuǎn)染篩選試劑[10],本實驗應(yīng)用該試劑進行了大鼠腎小管上皮細胞篩選,獲得了穩(wěn)定轉(zhuǎn)染PAX2基因的腎小管上皮細胞系。通過熒光顯微鏡觀察及RT-PCR鑒定,穩(wěn)定轉(zhuǎn)染PAX2組熒光表達明顯增加,PAX2 mRNA表達也明顯增加,其表達較對照組及空載組差異有統(tǒng)計學(xué)意義,證明穩(wěn)定轉(zhuǎn)染細胞系構(gòu)建成功。同時也表明脂質(zhì)體介導(dǎo)轉(zhuǎn)染法可以成功進行基因的穩(wěn)定表達轉(zhuǎn)染。
細胞遷移實驗是通過細胞受傷后的自動修復(fù)能力來評估,如單層細胞在受傷24 h內(nèi),其只靠細胞移動來愈合修復(fù),并不會出現(xiàn)反應(yīng)性修復(fù)增生[11],故本實驗應(yīng)用細胞劃痕實驗評估細胞遷移運動能力。結(jié)果表明穩(wěn)轉(zhuǎn)組細胞遷移速度較空載組及對照組明顯增快,表明過表達PAX2可明顯增加腎小管上皮細胞遷移能力。本試驗通過目前較為常用的Transwell實驗探討細胞侵襲能力,細胞在含有Matrigel的聚碳酸酯微孔中穿過,是在模擬體內(nèi)細胞穿過細胞外基質(zhì)的過程,可以反映細胞的侵襲能力[12],本研究結(jié)果表明穩(wěn)轉(zhuǎn)組穿透的細胞數(shù)較空載組及對照組明顯增加,說明PAX2可明顯增加細胞侵襲能力。
本文價值:
本研究首次通過構(gòu)建PAX2穩(wěn)轉(zhuǎn)細胞系探討其生物學(xué)作用,發(fā)現(xiàn)PAX2轉(zhuǎn)染可以增加腎小管上皮細胞的遷移及侵襲能力,這可能是PAX2基因誘導(dǎo)腎小管上皮細胞轉(zhuǎn)分化的重要機制,為臨床疾病的治療提供實驗依據(jù)。
