The aim of the present study is to determine the expression of LUM in drug-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines.
Doxorubicin- (DOX), topotecan- (TOP) and vincristine- (VIN) resistant variants of the W1 ovarian cancer cell line were used in this study. We used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions to determine LUM mRNA levels. Protein expression was detected using Western blot and immunocytochemistry assays. Protein glycosylation was investigated using PGNase F digestion. Immunohistochemistry assays were used to determine protein expression in ovarian cancer patients.
We observed increased expression of LUM in drug-resistant cell lines at both the mRNA and the protein level. The most abundant LUM expression was observed in TOP-resistant cell line. We observed LUM bands that corresponded to different molecular masses, and the most abundant LUM form was the secreted form, which had a mass of 50 kDa. Double immunofluorescence analysis showed co-expression of LUM and COL3A1 as well as the presence of extracellular COL3A1 in the TOP-resistant cell line. Finally, we detected the LUM protein in ovarian cancer tissue.
The expression of LUM in cytostatic-resistant cell lines suggests its role in drug resistance. The co-expression of LUM and COL3A1 indicates the significance of LUM in collagen fibre assembly. Expression in ovarian cancer tissue suggests that LUM can play a role in ovarian cancer pathogenesis in ways similar to other cancers.
本研究旨在确定LUM在耐药性卵巢癌细胞系中的表达情况。
本研究使用了W1卵巢癌细胞系的阿霉素(DOX)、拓扑替康(TOP)和长春新碱(VIN)耐药变体。我们采用定量实时聚合酶链反应来确定LUM mRNA水平。使用蛋白质印迹法和免疫细胞化学分析法检测蛋白质表达。使用PNG酶F消化法研究蛋白质糖基化。采用免疫组织化学分析法确定卵巢癌患者中的蛋白质表达。
我们观察到耐药细胞系中LUM在mRNA和蛋白质水平上的表达均增加。在TOP耐药细胞系中观察到最丰富的LUM表达。我们观察到与不同分子量相对应的LUM条带,最丰富的LUM形式是分泌形式,其分子量为50 kDa。双重免疫荧光分析显示在TOP耐药细胞系中LUM和COL3A1共表达以及细胞外COL3A1的存在。最后,我们在卵巢癌组织中检测到了LUM蛋白。
LUM在细胞生长抑制剂耐药细胞系中的表达表明其在耐药性中发挥作用。LUM和COL3A1的共表达表明LUM在胶原纤维组装中的重要性。在卵巢癌组织中的表达表明LUM可能以与其他癌症相似的方式在卵巢癌发病机制中发挥作用。
