Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of rhTRAIL on survivin gene expression of human lung adeno-carcinoma A549 xenografted tumor in nude mice,and investigate the possible inhibitory mechanism of rhTRAIL on the implanted-tumor growth.Methods The solid tumor model was formed in nude mice with human lung adeno-carcinoma cell line.A549.24 mice were randomly divided into the four groups,rhTRAIL single treated group (1 μg/mL),rhTRAIL combined with cisplatin (DDP) treated group,cisplatin treated (1.5mg/kg) and 0.9％ sodium chloride injection(NS) control group.The rhTRAIL and DDP were injected once every other day by intraperitoneal injection to mice in the treated groups,lasting eight times,the same volume of saline solution was injected to the control group.After these,mice were killed and dissected completely.The expression level of survivin mRNA and protein in the tumor tissues was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry,respectively.And the expression of survivin gene in serum of each group was tested by ELISA.Results The expression levels of survivin mRNA in implanted-tumor tissues in rhTRAIL,rhTRAIL combined with DDP,DDP and NS group were (48.7 ± 2.5) ％,(53.1 ± 4.6) ％,(99.1 ± 5.3) ％ and (95.6 ± 3.7) ％,respectively.While the protein expressions of survivin gene in those groups were (0.319 ± 0.025),(0.483 ± 0.058),(0.635 ± 0.041) and (0.619 ± 0.017),respectively.Moreover,the serum levels of survivin were (71.9 ± 7.05),(80.26 ± 10.80),(112.75 ± 15.41) and (105.03 ± 20.37),respectively.The data showed that the expression levels of rhTRAIL and rhTRAIL combined with DDP group were lower than that of DDP-treated group or the NS control group (P ＜ 0.0 5).Compared with the rhTRAIL combined with DDP group,the survivin gene expression level of rhTRAIL-single treated group decreased a little lower,but the difference was not significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conversely,the survivin gene level was increased to some degree compared with the NS control group,and uniformly there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion rhTRAIL can downregulate the expression level of survivin gene of human lung adeno-carcinoma A549 xenografted tumor in nude mice.It may be one of the possible inhibitory mechanisms of rhTRAIL on the implanted-tumor growth that rhTRAIL can downregulate survivin gene expression and promote tumor cell apoptosis.
