Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of HIF-1α expression regulated by Tet-on gene expression system on cell proliferation and cell cycle of hepatoma cells in vitro. Methods The change of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2 cell cycle and cell proliferation was measured after HIF-1 α expression of HepG2 in vitro was regulated by Tet-on expression system. Results Amplified products were confirmed as the cDNA of HIF-1α by DNA sequencing, and pTRE-HIF-1α obtained by edonuclease digestion,capable of expression in HepG2 Tet-on cells. After being incubated under different concentrations of doxycycline for 48 h, MTT assays showed that up-regulation of HIF-1α expression increased HepG2 cell proliferation activities. The cell index of S and G2/M phase was significantly higher and that of G0/G1 phase reduced with the increasing concentrations of doxycycline. The mRNA expression of Cyclin A increased with the increasing concentrations of doxycycline ( P ＜ 0. 001 ), CyclinD1 and CyclinE did not change ( P ＞0. 05). Conclusion HIF-1 α gene promotes cell proliferation and cell cycle of hcpatoma cells in vitro, and this effects increased with the increasing of HIF-1α expression possibly through influencing the expression of CyclinA.
