Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of nicotinamide transmethylase on intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)in iron death of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and its mechanism.Methods Methyl nicotinamide(MNA)expression in cells was detected using a tandem liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.The average fluorescence intensity of ROS and lipid peroxidation was measured using a flow cytometer.Western blot was used to detect changes in the expression of human liver cancer cells(SK-Hep-1,Hep3B).Forty patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma who received treatment in our hospital from March 2019 to February 2020 were selected as the study subjects,and their adjacent tissue samples and liver cancer tissue samples were collected.Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the levels of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase(NNMT)and ROS in adjacent and liver cancer tissues.CCK-8 method was used to detect the survival activity of cells with different iron concentrations.Results The MNA levels in the liver cancer tissue group were higher than those in the adjacent tissue group(P<0.05).Compared with the adjacent tissue group,the average fluorescence intensity expression of ROS in the liver cancer tissue group increased,while the average fluorescence intensity expression of lipid peroxidation decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the adjacent tissue group,the expression levels of SK Hep-1 and Hep3B cells in the liver cancer tissue group increased(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,NNMT groups 2,10,20,and 25 μmol/L The cell survival activity level increased(P<0.05);Compared with the NNMT group,the iron inhibition group had different iron concentrations(2μmol/L,10μmol/L,20μmol/L,25μmol/L.The expression of cell viability decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion ROS mediated by nicotinamide methyltransferase can be guided to produce ROS and energy disorders,leading to increased tumor cell death.
