To determine the antiproliferative effect of gamma-tocotrienol (GTT) treatment on differential protein expression in HepG2 cells.
HepG2 cells were treated with 70 μM GTT for 48 hours and differentially expressed protein spots were determined by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE), identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer (MS) and validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).
GTT treatment on HepG2 cells showed a total of five differentially expressed proteins when compared to their respective untreated cells where three proteins were down-regulated and two proteins were up-regulated. One of these upregulated proteins was identified as peroxiredoxin-4 (Prx4). Validation by qRT-PCR however showed decreased expression of Prx4 mRNA in HepG2 cells following GTT treatment.
GTT might directly influence the expression dynamics of peroxiredoxin-4 to control proliferation in liver cancer.
确定γ-生育三烯酚(GTT)处理对HepG2细胞中差异蛋白表达的抗增殖作用。
用70μM GTT处理HepG2细胞48小时,通过二维电泳(2DE)确定差异表达的蛋白点,用基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱仪(MALDI-TOF MS)进行鉴定,并通过定量实时聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)进行验证。
与各自未处理的细胞相比,GTT处理HepG2细胞显示共有5种差异表达蛋白,其中3种蛋白下调,2种蛋白上调。这些上调蛋白之一被鉴定为过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体4(Prx4)。然而,qRT-PCR验证显示,GTT处理后HepG2细胞中Prx4 mRNA的表达降低。
GTT可能直接影响过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体4的表达动态,以控制肝癌细胞的增殖。
