The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors-1α (HIF-1α)/matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) signaling pathway on hypoxia triggered invasion in retinoblastoma cell line HXO-RB44.
HXO-RB44 cells were cultured under hypoxia conditions for 24 h. The effect of hypoxia on invasion ability of HXO-RB44 cells was monitored with transwell invasion assay; the mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1α and MMP9 were detected by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot; luciferase assay was performed to assess the MMP9 regulation by HIF-1α, and HIF-1α regulation by hypoxia. Furthermore, HIF-1α and MMP9 siRNA were used to investigate the effect of HIF-1α/MMP9 signaling on hypoxia-induced cell invasion.
The results demonstrated that hypoxia could promote HXO-RB44 cells invasion. The mRNA and protein level of HIF-1α and MMP9 were upregulated by hypoxia treatment, whereas HIF-1α and MMP9 siRNA could reverse these processes.

本研究旨在探讨低氧诱导转录因子-1α(HIF-1α)/基质金属蛋白酶 9(MMP9)信号通路对人视网膜母细胞瘤细胞系 HXO-RB44 缺氧诱导侵袭的影响。
将 HXO-RB44 细胞在缺氧条件下培养 24 小时。通过 Transwell 侵袭实验监测缺氧对 HXO-RB44 细胞侵袭能力的影响;实时聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和 Western blot 检测 HIF-1α 和 MMP9 的 mRNA 和蛋白表达水平;通过荧光素酶实验评估 HIF-1α 对 MMP9 的调控作用以及缺氧对 HIF-1α 的调控作用。此外,采用 HIF-1α 和 MMP9 siRNA 研究 HIF-1α/MMP9 信号通路对缺氧诱导细胞侵袭的影响。
结果表明,缺氧可促进 HXO-RB44 细胞侵袭。缺氧处理可上调 HIF-1α 和 MMP9 的 mRNA 和蛋白水平,而 HIF-1α 和 MMP9 siRNA 可逆转这些过程。
