To evaluate the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-la) on angiogenesis in human prostate cancer cells.
Human prostate cancer cells of the line LNCaP were cultured and transfected by the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3. 1(-)/HIF-1alpha containing the gene HIF-1alpha with the Lipofectamine 2000 system. The positive clone cells were selected by G418 and confirmed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence (LNCaP/HIF-1alpha cells). The expressions of VEGF, iNOS and Ang-2 were detected by Western blotting.
The expression of HIF-1alpha in the LNCaP/HIF-1alpha cells was distinctly higher than that in the LN-CaP cells. Compared with the LNCaP cells, the expressions of VEGF and iNOS were up-regulated, whereas Ang-2 remained unchanged in the LNCaP/HIF-1alpha cells.
The over-expression of HIF-1alpha can induce an increase in angiogenesis proteins and improve the angiogenesis potency of prostate cancer.
评估缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)对人前列腺癌细胞血管生成的影响。
培养人前列腺癌LNCaP细胞系,并用脂质体2000系统将含HIF-1α基因的重组质粒pcDNA3.1(-)/HIF-1α转染至细胞。通过G418筛选阳性克隆细胞,并经蛋白质免疫印迹法和免疫荧光法确认(LNCaP/HIF-1α细胞)。采用蛋白质免疫印迹法检测VEGF、iNOS和Ang-2的表达。
LNCaP/HIF-1α细胞中HIF-1α的表达明显高于LNCaP细胞。与LNCaP细胞相比,LNCaP/HIF-1α细胞中VEGF和iNOS的表达上调,而Ang-2的表达无变化。
HIF-1α的过表达可诱导血管生成相关蛋白增加,提高前列腺癌的血管生成能力。
