    Six1E2F4启动子转录调控哮喘

  • 支气管哮喘(简称哮喘)是儿童最常见的慢性炎症性疾病之一[1],在世界范围内的患病率呈上升趋势[2]。哮喘的发病机制复杂,包括免疫因素、感染因素、环境因素和遗传因素[3]。支气管高反应性、间歇性气流受限和气道重塑是哮喘的3大典型特征。气道重塑是指长期反复的炎症不断刺激,诱发气道组织增生而出现反复修复,最终导致气道结构的改变,以气道壁增厚、上皮下纤维化、平滑肌数量增加、血管生成和黏液腺的增加为其主要特征[4]。当前,临床上尚无有效方法治愈哮喘。因此,重要的是探索气道炎症和重塑的机制,并寻求新的策略。

  • 同源异型盒基因1(sine oculis homeobox homo⁃ log1,Six1)是一种包含同源结构域的转录因子,对细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭和上皮⁃间充质转化(epithe⁃ lial⁃mesenchymal transition,EMT)起着重要作用[5-7]。 Six1表达在胚胎发生后大幅度下调,但在许多癌症中重新高表达,从而有助于肿瘤的生长[8-9]。在哮喘中, Six1对转化生长因子β(transforming growth factor⁃β, TGF⁃β)1介导的EMT、气道炎症及气道重塑具有重要作用[10]。气道炎症和重塑是哮喘两个最典型的病理特征,渗透到气道的炎症细胞通过促进气道平滑肌细胞的增殖和迁移而有助于气道重塑。

  • 因此,研究人Six1基因对哮喘、肿瘤等疾病有重要的理论指导意义。但是目前对Six1的研究主要集中在信号通路及其与蛋白的相互作用上,对于Six1自身的转录调控机制研究较少。本实验通过构建人Six1启动子荧光素酶报告重组质粒,通过瞬时转染HEK⁃293细胞和BEAS⁃2B细胞,分析其在这2种细胞中的荧光素酶活性,接着通过qRT⁃PCR和蛋白质免疫印迹实验测定敲低、过表达E2F转录因子4(E2F tran⁃ scription factor 4,E2F4)后Six1表达量的改变,旨在为进一步研究人Six1基因的转录调控机制奠定基础。

  • 2.1 人Six1启动子活性检测

  • 将合成的pSix1⁃451片段质粒进行核酸序列测定,结果提示此片段核苷酸序列与人Six1基因启动子区序列一致,说明人Six1基因启动子区已经成功插入pGL3⁃basic载体中。如图1所示,与pGL3⁃basic组相比,转染pSix1⁃451片段质粒的HEK⁃293和BE⁃ AS⁃2B细胞相对荧光素酶活性明显增加,差异有统计学意义(P< 0.001)。结果表明,人Six1启动子荧光素酶报告重组质粒转染至HEK⁃293和BEAS⁃2B细胞后具有启动子活性。

  • 3 讨论

  • 真核生物在其转录水平的调控是真核生物调控基因表达非常重要的机制。转录水平的调控主要通过调控转录起始部位一些特殊的调控序列,如启动子和作用于启动子区的一些转录因子。启动子作为转录的起始,指导着RNA聚合酶Ⅱ对启动的调控,对基因的正确转录起着关键作用,是蛋白质编码基因以及真核生物中许多非编码基因表达的重要组成部分,但也是真核生物转录调控中最容易被忽视的一部分[11]。对人Six1基因的研究多集中在其蛋白水平的研究,但对其启动子的转录调控却很少有研究。本研究通过构建人Six1启动子荧光素酶基因报告重组质粒pSix1⁃451,并通过瞬时转染和荧光素酶活性检测,证实其具有启动子活性。然后通过JASPAR软件预测其可能含有E2F4在内的多个转录因子结合位点,并在启动子、mRNA和蛋白多水平验证了转录因子E2F4对人Six1基因转录的正向调控。

  • Six家族是一组进化保守的转录因子,存在于从扁虫到人类的多种生物中,在视网膜、耳、鼻、大脑、肾脏、肌肉和性腺中的细胞群体表达,并在其中发挥关键的作用。Six1基因是Six基因家族中重要的一员,参与了许多组织和器官的发育,如肌肉、肾脏、听觉系统、感觉器官和颅面结构[12],并在多种肿瘤组织中高表达,如乳腺癌、肺癌、伯基特淋巴瘤、肝细胞癌、卵巢癌和横纹肌肉瘤等[13]。有研究表明,Six1的下调直接影响气道重塑重要介质基质金属蛋白酶(matrix metalloproteinase,MMP)⁃2和MMP⁃ 9的表达和分泌。此外,沉默Six1可以显著抑制肺中核因子κB(NF⁃κB)途径的激活。在慢性哮喘小鼠中炎症细胞(包括嗜酸性粒细胞、嗜中性粒细胞、巨噬细胞、肥大细胞和T淋巴细胞)比在PBS处理的对照小鼠中的表达量更高,而敲低Six1显著减少了炎症细胞的积累,从而有效抑制了哮喘小鼠的气道炎症和气道重塑[14]。Six1是由非造血细胞(如间充质系细胞)通过TGF⁃β、白介素(interleukin,IL)⁃1β、肿瘤坏死因子(tumor necrosis factor,TNF)⁃α、IL⁃6和脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)刺激产生的。这些间充质细胞通过释放Six1作用于免疫细胞,促使其分泌促炎性细胞因子和趋化因子[15]。Six1影响靶细胞信号事件的机制一直是研究的重点,研究确定了至少5个潜在的Six1信号途径,包括抑制磷酸化的Smad 1、3、8信号通路、AKT途径、AMP激活的蛋白激酶途径、TLR4/CD14途径以及对Na+/K+ ⁃ATP酶膜电位方面的影响[16-17]。因此,调控Six1自身的表达也可以通过调控有关蛋白以及各种信号通路直接或间接起作用,并为后续进一步的研究提供了方向。

  • 转录因子是一类可以和基因上游启动子区序列结合从而调控相关基因表达的蛋白质。E2F转录家族在高级真核生物中编码一系列转录因子,并且在哺乳动物的细胞周期和DNA合成中起着重要调控作用。目前根据其功能特征分为两类:即转录激活因子,包括E2F1、E2F2和E2F3a,以及转录阻遏因子包括E2F3b、E2F4、E2F5、E2F6、E2F7和E2F8[18]。 E2F4作为E2F转录家族的一员,已被证实和子宫颈癌、Burkitt淋巴瘤等多种疾病相关[19],并且在细胞增殖、周期、凋亡和侵袭中发挥重要作用[20]。研究表明E2F4的沉默减少了人类肠道上皮细胞和结直肠癌CRC细胞的增殖[21],但其在哮喘中的作用却很少有研究。

  • 本研究首先成功构建了人Six1启动子荧光素酶报告重组质粒,测定其具有启动子活性。其次通过软件预测其启动子区可能含有的关键转录因子结合序列。最后,在启动子、mRNA和蛋白水平验证了转录因子E2F4对人Six1的正向转录调控。
