To investigate the changes of expression and methylation status of PRDM2, PRDM5, PRDM16 in lung cancer cells after treatment with demethylation agent.
A549 (lung adenocarcinoma cell line), HTB-182 (lung squamous cell carcinoma cell line) and HBE (normal bronchial cell line) were treated with 5-aza-2dC. The methylation state of PRDM2, PRDM5, PRDM16 was detected by MSP. The expression of PRDM2, PRDM5, PRDM16 was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Cell growth was detected by MTT assay.
5-aza-2-dC reduced the methylation of PRDM2, PRDM5, PRDM16 gene in A549 and HTB-182 cells but not in HBE cells. Consistently, 5-aza-2dC increased mRNA and protein expression of PRDM2, PRDM5, PRDM16 in A549 and HTB-182 cells but not in HBE cells. Furthermore, 5-aza-2dC inhibited the growth of A549 and HTB-182 cells but not HBE cells.
PRDM2, PRDM5, PRDM16 promoters are methylated and their expression is suppressed in lung cancer cells. Demethylation drug 5-aza-2dC could upregulate the expression of PRDM2, PRDM5, PRDM16 and suppress lung cancer cell growth. 5-aza-2dC has potential to be used for lung cancer therapy by epigenetic mechanism.
研究去甲基化剂处理后肺癌细胞中PRDM2、PRDM5、PRDM16的表达及甲基化状态变化。
用5-氮杂-2'-脱氧胞苷(5-aza-2dC)处理A549(肺腺癌细胞系)、HTB-182(肺鳞癌细胞系)和HBE(正常支气管细胞系)。通过甲基化特异性PCR(MSP)检测PRDM2、PRDM5、PRDM16的甲基化状态。通过逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和蛋白质免疫印迹分析检测PRDM2、PRDM5、PRDM16的表达。采用MTT法检测细胞生长情况。
5-aza-2dC降低了A549和HTB-182细胞中PRDM2、PRDM5、PRDM16基因的甲基化水平,但对HBE细胞无此作用。同样,5-aza-2dC增加了A549和HTB-182细胞中PRDM2、PRDM5、PRDM16的mRNA和蛋白表达,但对HBE细胞无此作用。此外,5-aza-2dC抑制了A549和HTB-182细胞的生长,但对HBE细胞无此作用。
PRDM2、PRDM5、PRDM16启动子在肺癌细胞中发生甲基化,其表达受到抑制。去甲基化药物5-aza-2dC可上调PRDM2、PRDM5、PRDM16的表达并抑制肺癌细胞生长。5-aza-2dC有通过表观遗传机制用于肺癌治疗的潜力。
