摘要: 目的 宫颈癌是继乳腺癌、结肠直肠癌和肺癌之后的女性第四大癌症,严重影响女性身体健康和生活质量。中国是宫颈癌的高危地区之一。来源于大斑芫菁和眼斑芫菁干燥虫体的斑蝥素(cantharidin,CTD)具有抗肿瘤活性且可诱导多种肿瘤细胞凋亡。本文旨在探索斑蝥素对Hela宫颈癌细胞凋亡、迁移和侵袭方面的影响及其相关机制。 方法 CCK-8检测细胞活力;流式细胞术分析细胞凋亡;划痕实验检测细胞迁移;Transwell分析细胞侵袭;蛋白印迹检测P38、P-P38、P-MAPKAPK和P-Hsp27的表达。 结果 低浓度(<20 μM)的斑蝥素处理Hela细胞对细胞活力无明显影响,细胞存活率在80%以上。高浓度(>20 μM)的斑蝥素处理Hela细胞后会降低Hela细胞活力,细胞存活率在80%以下。与对照组相比,5、10、20 μM斑蝥素组细胞凋亡率依次升高(均P<0.05)。斑蝥素(5、10 μM)处理Hela细胞后,细胞迁移和侵袭能力明显减弱(均P<0.05);20 μM斑蝥素处理Hela细胞后,细胞迁移和侵袭能力减弱更明显(P<0.01)。与对照组相比,5 μM斑蝥素组P-P38/P38的比值、P-MAPKAPK和P-Hsp27表达明显降低(均P<0.05);10 μM斑蝥素组P-P38/P38的比值、P-MAPKAPK和P-Hsp27表达显著降低(均P<0.01);20 μM斑蝥素组P-P38/P38的比值、P-MAPKAPK和P-Hsp27表达降低更明显(均P<0.001)。 结论 斑蝥素可通过抑制MAPK信号通路提高Hela宫颈癌细胞的凋亡,降低细胞迁移及侵袭能力。Abstract: Objective Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women (behind breast, lung and bowel). Cervical cancer threatens seriously the health of women and the quality of life. China is one of the high-risk areas of cervical cancer. Cantharidin, in the form of the dried body of the Chinese blister beetles Mylabris phalerata or M. cichorii, displays certain antitumor activity and induces apoptosis in many types of tumor cells. This study aims to explore the effect of cantharidin on the apoptosis, migration and invasion in Hela cervical cancer cells. Methods Cell viability was detected by CCK-8. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the apoptosis of Hela cells. Migration was tested by wound healing assay. Transwell was performed to measured invasion. The expression of P38, P-P38, P-MAPKAPK and P-Hsp27 was detected by western blot. Results The low concentration (<20 μM) of cantharidin has no obvious effect on cell viability of Hela cells, and the viability of Hela cells was above 80% after the treatment with low concentration (< 20 μM) of cantharidin. The high concentration (>20 μM) of cantharidin reduced the viability of Hela cells and the viability of Hela cells was under 80% after the treatment with high concentration (>20 μM) of cantharidin. Compared with the control group, the apoptosis in 5 μM cantharidin groups were obviously increased (P<0.05). Apoptosis in 10 μM cantharidin groups were remarkably increased (all P<0.01). Apoptosis in 20 μM cantharidin groups were significantly increased (P<0.001). After the administration with cantharidin, the migration and invasion of Hela cells in cantharidin (5, 10 μM) groups were obviously decreased (P<0.05) and the migration and invasion of Hela cells in 20 μM cantharidin group were remarkably decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the rate of P-P38/P38 and expression of P-MAPKAPK and P-Hsp27 in 5 μM cantharidin group were obviously alleviated (all P<0.05). The rate of P-P38/P38 and expression of P-MAPKAPK and P-Hsp27 in 10 μM cantharidin group were remarkably alleviated (all P<0.01). The rate of P-P38/P38 and expression of P-MAPKAPK and P-Hsp27 in 20 μM cantharidin group were significantly alleviated (all P<0.001). Conclusion Cantharidin can elevate the apoptosis and reduces migration and invasion of Hela cells by suppressing MAPK signal pathway.
