侵袭与转移是影响恶性肿瘤患者预后最重要的因素之一,也一直是预测肿瘤预后和改善患者生存的热点与难点。上 皮钙黏蛋白(E-cadherin)低表达是恶性肿瘤最常见的表型之一,在多种肿瘤的侵袭、转移中发挥重要作用。上调上皮钙黏蛋白表 达可以降低恶性肿瘤的侵袭与转移能力,甚至改善肿瘤患者的预后,为肿瘤患者的治疗提供有效措施。近年来, 以RNA诱导的 基因激活(RNAa)为代表的基因调控技术的发展为肿瘤精准治疗提供更多可能,为特异、有效地上调上皮钙黏蛋白表达提供新的 途径。本文就上皮钙黏蛋白与RNAa技术近年来的研究进展及小激活RNA(saRNA)上调上皮钙黏蛋白表达的分子机制与生物 学意义作一综述。

Objective :
To construct folate modified D ⁃α ⁃tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate ( TPGS) oparticles on the cytotoxicity and spliced X ⁃box binding protein 1 ( XBP1s) of mouse leukemia cells of monocyte macrophage (RAW264. 7) .
Methods :
Mixed FA⁃TPGS and rhodamine B (RhB) labeled XBP1 siRNA solution in a proportion of 5 ∶ 1 and obtained the nano⁃complex coated with XBP1 siRNA(FT@ XBP1) . FT@ XBP1 nanocarriers were characterized by transmission electron microscope , dynamic light scattering , ultraviolet visible spectrum analysis and/or fluorescence analysis. And the release of siRNA from FA⁃TPGS nano⁃carriers was calculated simultaneously. The cell cytotoxicity of FT@ XBP1 nanomaterials were detected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) , CCK⁃8 and flow cytometry. And the inhibited effect of XBP1 s of RAW264. 7 cells was checked by Western blot.
Results
FA modified TPGS could effectively bind XBP1 siRNA. And the average particle size of FT@ XBP1 nanocarriers were(200 ± 20) nm. The relative release assays showed that acidic environments (pH 5. 0) was beneficial for siRNA to release from FT@ XBP1 . Both CCK⁃8 and apoptosis assay showed that the effects of FT@ XBP1 on the proliferation and apoptosis of RAW264. 7 cells were relatively small , and FT@ XBP1 could significantly inhibit the expression of XBP1 s protein in RAW264. 7(P < 0. 001) . Conclusion TPGS nanoparticles modified with folic acid can effectively encapsulate XBP1 siRNA and inhibit XBP1 s expression of RAW264. 7 cells with good cellular compatibility.
