[摘 要] 目的:探讨肽基精氨酸脱亚胺酶1(PADI1)对肾透明细胞癌(ccRCC)细胞迁移、增殖、侵袭等生物学行为的影响及相关分子机制。方法:首先,利用转录组测序筛选肾癌组织与癌旁组织之间的差异表达基因,并通过GEPIA、TIMER2.0等数据库分析其差异表达水平。选取2024至2025年河北医科大学第四医院泌尿外科术中留存的59例ccRCC患者的组织标本,用RT-qPCR法、免疫组化SP法检测肾癌组织及癌旁组织中PADI1的表达水平,分析其与各临床参数之间的关系。通过划痕愈合、CCK-8、克隆形成及Transwell实验评估PADI1对ccRCC细胞迁移、增殖和侵袭能力的影响,用流式细胞术检测PADI1对细胞周期的影响,并采用WB法检测A498细胞转染si-PADI1后角质化包膜(CE)形成通路及EMT相关蛋白表达的变化。结果:在ccRCC组织中PADI1的相对表达量显著高于癌旁正常组织(P < 0.01),并与患者年龄、淋巴结转移、远处转移及临床分期相关(P < 0.05)。A498和ACHN细胞中转染si-PADI1,可以有效地下调PADI1 mRNA和蛋白表达水平(P < 0.05);而转染过表达质粒则能够显著上调其表达(P < 0.05),敲低PADI1能够显著抑制其迁移(P < 0.05)、增殖(P < 0.05)与侵袭能力(P < 0.001),而过表达则增强其迁移(P < 0.05)、增殖(P < 0.05)与侵袭能力(P < 0.001),但对细胞周期影响不显著。在A498细胞中,WB实验结果显示PADI1表达能够改变EMT及CE通路相关蛋白表达水平。结论:PADI1在ccRCC中高表达且与ccRCC患者年龄及其淋巴结转移、远处转移、临床分期有关联,其表达水平升高能够影响CE形成通路及加速EMT进程,并增强ccRCC细胞的迁移、增殖、侵袭能力。

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the expression of human endogenous retrovirus subfamily H long terminal repeat associating protein 2 (HHLA2) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and its correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with HCC. Methods: Based on TCGA database, the correlation between HHLA2 mRNA expression and B7 family genes in human HCC tissues was analyzed. HHLA2 expression in 90 pairs of HCC tissues and their adjacent tissues was detected by tissue microarry and immunohistochemical staining. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the difference of HHLA2 expression between HCC tissues and its adjacent tissues. The chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between HHLA2 expression in human HCC tissues and clinicopathological features of the patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between HHLA2 expression and patients’ overall survival (OS), and the Cox model was used to evaluate the prognostic value of different indices. Results: The expression level of HHLA2 mRNA in HCC tissues was correlated with B7 family CD274, C10orf54, PDCD1LG2, ICOSLG and CD276. The expression level of HHLA2 in HCC tissues was significantly correlated with tumor size (χ2=4.531, P<0.05). The OS of HCC patients with high HHLA2 expression was significantly shorter than that of the patients with lower HHLA2 expression (HR=1.878, 95%CI: 1.066-3.309, P<0.05). The COX model showed that tumor size (HR=2.493, 95%CI: 1.310-4.742, P<0.01) could be used as an independent risk factor for the prognostic prediction of the patients. Conclusion: HHLA2 is significantly correlated with the prognosis of HCC patients, and can be used as a potential target for HCC immunotherapy.
