    摘要

    目的:研究转录因子YY1对胰腺癌细胞迁移和侵袭的影响和分子机制。方法:使用定量RT⁃PCR和Western blot检测YY1和SOX2OT的表达。通过划痕实验和Transwell侵袭实验,研究YY1在胰腺癌细胞迁移和侵袭中的作用。在YY1过表达或YY1敲低的胰腺癌细胞中,通过SOX2OT过表达或RNA干扰进行功能回复实验。结果:发现YY1过表达抑制BXPC⁃3和 PANC⁃1细胞中的SOX2OT表达,相反,YY1干扰促进SOX2OT的表达。此外,YY1过表达抑制BXPC⁃3细胞在体外的迁移和侵袭,相反YY1干扰促进细胞的迁移和侵袭。在YY1过表达的BXPC⁃3细胞中过表达SOX2OT,或者在YY1敲低的细胞中干扰 SOX2OT的表达,可以逆转YY对细胞迁移和侵袭的作用。结论:YY1通过下调SOX2OT表达抑制胰腺癌细胞的迁移和侵袭。

    Abstract

    Objective:This study aims to observe the effects and mechanisms of transcription factor YY1 on the migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. Methods:In this study,YY1 and SOX2OT expression were detected by using quantitative RT⁃PCR and Western blot. The role of YY1 in the migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells was studied by cell wound healing assays and transwell cell invasion assays. The functional recovery experiments were performed by overexpression or RNA interference of SOX2OT in YY1 overexpression or YY1 knockdown pancreatic cancer cells. Results:It was found that YY1 overexpression decreased, while YY1 knockdown increased SOX2OT expression in BXPC ⁃3 and PANC ⁃1 cells. Furthermore,YY1 overexpression suppressed, whereas YY1 knockdown enhanced,the migration and invasion properties of BXPC⁃3 cells in vitro. Overexpression of SOX2OT in YY1 overexpressed BXPC ⁃ 3 cells or RNA interference of SOX2OT in YY1 knockdown cells can partly reverse the effect of YY on cell migration and invasion. Conclusion:The present study suggested that YY1 suppresses migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells in a SOX2OT⁃dependent mechanism.

  • 1.2.6 SOX2OT过表达慢病毒及稳转细胞株构建

  • 2 结果

  • 2.1 YY1对胰腺癌细胞中SOX2OT表达的调控

  • 定量PCR及Western blot结果表明:YY1过表达及YY1干扰的稳转细胞株(BXPC⁃3和PANC⁃1)构建成功。定量PCR结果显示:与对照组相比,YY1过表达组的BXPC⁃3和PANC⁃1细胞中SOX2OT表达水平被显著抑制(P< 0.05,图1),相反,YY1干扰组SOX2OT表达水平与对照组相比显著增加(P< 0.05,图1)。

  • 2.2 YY1对胰腺癌细胞迁移与侵袭能力的影响

  • 细胞划痕实验结果表明:与对照组相比,YY1过表达抑制BXPC⁃3细胞的迁移,相反YY1干扰促进细胞的迁移(图2A)。Transwell细胞侵袭实验结果表明:与对照组相比,YY1过表达组穿过基质胶的细胞数显著减少(P< 0.05,图2B),相反YY1干扰组穿过基质胶的细胞数与对照组相比显著增加 (P< 0.05,图2B)。

  • 2.3 SOX2OT对YY1的功能回复作用

  • 为了证明SOX2OT是否介导了YY1抑制胰腺癌细胞迁移和侵袭的作用,在YY1过表达的BXPC⁃3细胞中过表达SOX2OT,或在YY1敲低的BXPC⁃3细胞中干扰SOX2OT的表达,观察其是否具有功能回复作用。定量PCR结果表明:过表达SOX2OT稳转细胞株构建成功(图3A);3组SOX2OT干扰片段中siRNA⁃1的干扰效率最高(图3B),因此后续功能回复实验选择siRNA⁃1。细胞划痕实验结果表明:在YY1过表达的BXPC⁃3细胞中过表达SOX2OT,可以逆转过表达YY1抑制细胞迁移的作用(图3C);在YY1敲低的BXPC⁃3细胞中干扰SOX2OT的表达,可以逆转YY1敲低促进细胞迁移的作用(图3D)。

  • 3 讨论

  • 在本研究中发现YY1过表达抑制,而YY1干扰促进胰腺癌细胞中长链非编码RNA SOX2OT的表达;YY1过表达抑制、而YY1干扰促进胰腺癌细胞的迁移和侵袭。功能回复实验结果表明:在YY1过表达的胰腺癌细胞中过表达SOX2OT,或者在YY1敲低的细胞中干扰SOX2OT的表达,可以逆转YY对胰腺癌细胞迁移和侵袭的作用,YY1通过下调SOX2OT表达抑制胰腺癌细胞的迁移和侵袭。

  • YY1对肿瘤的促进或抑制作用与其参与癌基因、抑癌基因、血管生成相关因子和抗细胞凋亡途径密切相关[7]。一方面,YY1可以通过上调癌基因 (如c⁃myc和血管内皮生长因子)的表达,下调抑癌基因(如P53和E⁃cadherin)的表达发挥促癌作用[8-11]。另一方面,YY1可以通过上调抑癌基因(如HLJ1与BRCA1)发挥抑癌作用,并通过直接作用抑制癌基因c⁃myc的功能[12-14]。因此,YY1可以作为一种抑癌基因或癌基因,这取决于组织类型、与其相互作用的蛋白因子及下游靶基因。本课题组先前研究表明YY1在胰腺癌中具有抑癌作用[4-5]。ChIP⁃seq结果表明YY1可以直接与SOX2OT的启动子区结合,提示YY1可能调控SOX2OT的转录,SOX2OT可能参与胰腺癌的癌变和进展。

  • Fig.3 Effects of SOX2OT overexpression or interference on YY1functional recovery by wound healing assay

  • 图4 Transwell细胞侵袭实验检测SOX2OT过表达(A)或SOX2OT干扰(B)对YY1抑制胰腺癌细胞BXPC⁃3侵袭的影响(×100)

  • Fig.4 Effect of SOX2OT overexpression(A)or interference(B)on cell invasion inhibited by YY1in BXPC ⁃3cells by transwell cell invasion assay(×100)

  • SOX2OT的内含子区包含了干细胞调控因子SOX2基因。SOX2是SOX转录因子家族中的一个主要成员,表达于胚胎干细胞,在胚胎的各个发育过程中起重要作用,是诱导人成体细胞为多能干细胞的一个关键和必需的因子[15]。干细胞和肿瘤都具有自我更新等共同特性,在干细胞起关键作用的基因在肿瘤的发生和发展中也起一定作用。 SOX2OT基因定位于3号染色体3q26.3 [16],其确切功能还不清楚。然而,最近研究已经证明了它对SOX2基因的转录调控作用[17]。类似于SOX2, SOX2OT在胚胎干细胞中高表达,在诱导分化过程中表达降低,仅表达于正常成年小鼠和人类的大脑组织[18]。SOX2OT在胰腺癌中的表达模式和生物学作用尚不清楚。本研究发现的几项证据表明SOX2OT可能是胰腺癌中的一个促癌因子。首先,YY1在胰腺癌中具有抑癌作用,而YY1负性调节SOX2OT的表达;其次,SOX2OT的过表达可以逆转YY1过表达对胰腺癌细胞迁移和侵袭的作用。

  • 总之,YY1负调控胰腺癌细胞中SOX2OT的表达。YY1通过下调SOX2OT的表达抑制胰腺癌细胞的迁移和侵袭。尽管其他尚未发现的机制可能与YY1介导的抑癌作用有关,但本研究提示SOX2OT在胰腺癌中起到促癌作用。YY1/SOX2OT轴可能是胰腺癌的一个有价值的诊断和预后指标。
