[摘 要] 目的:探讨精氨酸-甘氨酸-天冬氨酸(RGD)修饰对肿瘤抑素19肽(T-19)抗肝癌活性的影响,比较分析T-19及RGD修饰的T-19(RGD-T-19)对肝癌SK-Hep-1细胞增殖、侵袭和迁移能力的影响。方法:用Fmoc固相法合成T-19及RGD-T-19,用高效液相色谱仪和质谱进行分离、鉴定。常规培养SK-Hep-1细胞,用0、50、100、150、200、250 mg/mL的T-19及RGD-T-19分别处理细胞,分为0 mg/mL(对照)组、50 mg/mL组、100 mg/mL组、150 mg/mL组、200 mg/mL组、250 mg/mL组。CCK-8法、克隆形成实验、划痕愈合实验和Tanswell小室实验、WB法和qPCR法分别检测SK-Hep-1细胞的增殖、迁移、侵袭能力,以及环氧合酶-2(COX-2)、基质金属蛋白酶-2(MMP-2)、MMP-9、组织基质金属蛋白酶抑制剂-1(TIMP-1)、TIMP-2蛋白和MMP-1、MMP-2 mRNA的表达。结果:经质谱鉴定,用Fmoc固相法合成的T-19及RGD-T-19纯度高。T-19和RGD-T-19均能显著抑制SK-Hep-1细胞的增殖、迁移、侵袭能力,抑制COX-2蛋白、MMP-2和MMP-9蛋白及mRNA的表达、促进TIMP-1、TIMP-2蛋白的表达(P < 0.05, P < 0.01, P < 0.001),RGD-T-19的抑制或促进效应均明显强于T-19(均P < 0.05)。结论:利用Fmoc固相法合成了纯度高、活性好的T-19及RGD-T-19,两种肽均能抑制SK-Hep-1细胞增殖、侵袭和迁移能力,RGD-T-19作用明显强于T-19。

Objective: To examine the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of mobilization of the vertebral artery for C2 pedicle screws in cases with high-riding vertebral artery (HRVA). Methods: The clinical data of 12 patients with basilar invagination and atlantoaxial dislocation underwent atlantoaxial reduction and fixation in the Department of Neurosurgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China between January 2020 and November 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had high-riding vertebral artery on at least one side that prohibited the insertion of C2 pedicle screws. There were 2 males and 10 females aged (48.0±12.8) years (range: 17 to 67 years). After correction of vertical dislocation during the operation, the C2 pedicle screw insertion and occipitocervical fixation and fusion were performed using the vertebral artery mobilization technique. Neurological function was assessed using the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scale. The preoperative and postoperative JOA score and the main radiological measurements, including the anterior atlantodental interval (ADI), the distance of the odontoid tip above the Chamberlain line, the clivus-canal angle, were collected and compared by paired t-test. Results: Mobilization of the high-riding vertebral artery was successfully completed, and C2 pedicle screws were then fulfilled after the vertebral artery was protected. There was no injury to the vertebral artery during the operation. Meanwhile, no severe surgical complications such as cerebral infarction or aggravated neurological dysfunction occurred during the perioperative period. Satisfactory C2 pedicle screw placement and reduction were achieved in all 12 patients. All patients achieved bone fusion 6 months after surgery. No looseness and shift in internal fixation or reduction loss was observed during the follow-up period. Compared to the preoperative, the postoperative ADI decreased from (6.1±1.9) mm to (2.0±1.2) mm (t=6.73, P<0.01), the distance of the odontoid tip above the Chamberlain line decreased from (10.4±2.5) mm to (5.5±2.3) mm (t=7.12, P<0.01), the clivus-canal angle increased from (123.4±11.1) ° to (134.7±9.6) ° (t=2.50, P=0.032), the JOA score increased from 13.3±2.1 to 15.6±1.2 (t=6.99, P<0.01). Conclusion: The C2 pedicle screw insertion assisted by mobilization of the vertebral artery is safe and considerably effective, providing a choice for internal fixation in cases with high-riding vertebral arteries.
