目的 探讨在乙肝病毒X蛋白(HBx)诱导肝癌细胞上皮-间充质转化(EMT)过程中癌基因c-Src的作用.方法 通过HBx基因转染诱导SMMC-7721肝癌细胞发生上皮-间充质转化,量化分析实验组和对照组细胞c-Src激酶的活化情况.抑制c-Src活性,通过实时PCR、蛋白印迹、免疫细胞化学等方法评价c-Src活化对上皮-间充质转化的影响.结果 发生上皮-间充质转化的SMMC-7721细胞中c-Src活化显著增加.给予c-Src激酶抑制剂PP2后,细胞由梭形恢复原来的上皮表型,而给予安慰剂PP3细胞形态无明显变化.蛋白印迹、免疫细胞化学检测进一步证实,抑制c-Src活化能逆转HBx基因转染诱导的上皮-间充质转化,使细胞再次发生间叶-上皮样转化,即上皮标志物(E-cadherin、α-catenin)表达显著上调,间叶标志物(N-cadherin,Vimentin,Fibronectin)表达显著减少.结论 HBx蛋白诱导SMMC-7721肝癌细胞发生上皮-间充质转化时,c-Src活化发挥了关键作用.“,”Objective To examine the role of c-Src activation in hepatitis B virus X (HBx) protein induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in liver cancer.Methods SMMC-7721 liver cancer cells were transfected with HBx gene to induce EMT and the activated c-Src expression was evaluated by Western blot.Both the morphological changes and the epithelial and mesenchymal markers expression (real-time PCR,western blot and immunocytochemistry) of HBx-transfected SMMC-7721 cell treated by c-Src kinase inhibitor PP2 and negative control PP3 were observed and compared,respectively.Results The activated c-Src expression in HBx gene transfected SMMC-7721 cells was significantly increased compared to that in mock transfected cells,c-Src kinase inhibitor PP2 could enable the HBx-transfected SMMC-7721 cells to transmit from spindle-like shape to original epithelial morphology.Western blot and immunocytochemistry confirmed that the expression of epithelial markers and mesenchymal markers almost returned to the levels of parental cells,indicating the mesenchymal-epithelial transition.Conclusions c-Src activation plays a key role in the process of EMT induced by HBx protein in SMMC-7721 cells.
