[摘 要] 目的:探讨月见草素B调控磷脂酰肌醇3激酶(PI3K)/蛋白激酶B(AKT)/核因子-κB(NF-κB)通路对卵巢癌SKOV3细胞恶性生物学行为的影响。方法:CCK-8法测定月见草素B对SKOV3细胞的半数抑制浓度(IC50),参考IC₅₀值及相关文献确定后续实验剂量。SKOV3细胞分为对照组,月见草素B低(6.25 μmol/L)、中(12.5 μmol/L)、高(25 μmol/L)剂量组,PI3K抑制剂(LY294002)组,月见草素B高剂量 + PI3K激活剂(740Y-P)组。CCK-8法、5-乙炔基-2'-脱氧尿苷(EdU)染色法检测各组细胞增殖能力;Transwell侵袭实验、划痕实验、流式细胞术分别检测各组细胞侵袭、迁移能力与凋亡情况;RT-qPCR检测各组细胞中增殖相关基因细胞周期蛋白D1(Cyclin D1)、迁移相关基因迁移侵袭增强子1(MIEN1)及凋亡相关基因p53 mRNA表达情况;Western blotting检测各组细胞中PI3K/AKT/NF-κB通路相关蛋白p-PI3K、p-AKT、NF-κB p65的表达。结果:月见草素B处理SKOV3细胞24 h的IC₅₀值为28.70 μmol/L。与对照组相比,月见草素B低、中、高剂量组及LY294002组SKOV3细胞增殖能力、侵袭细胞数及划痕愈合率均降低(均P < 0.05),Cyclin D1、MIEN1 mRNA及p-PI3K、p-AKT、NF-κB p65蛋白表达下调(均P < 0.05),而细胞凋亡率与p53 mRNA表达则升高(均P < 0.05);与LY294002组相比,高剂量月见草素B对SKOV3细胞增殖能力、侵袭细胞数及划痕愈合率的抑制作用更显著(均P < 0.05),对Cyclin D1、MIEN1 mRNA及p-PI3K、p-AKT、NF-κB p65蛋白的下调及对细胞凋亡率与p53 mRNA表达的上调均更明显(均P < 0.05)。与月见草素B高剂量组相比,月见草素B高剂量+740Y-P组SKOV3细胞增殖能力、侵袭细胞数及划痕愈合率升高(均P < 0.05),Cyclin D1、MIEN1 mRNA及p-PI3K、p-AKT、NF-κB p65蛋白表达上调(均P < 0.05),细胞凋亡率与p53 mRNA表达降低(P < 0.05)。结论:月见草素B可能通过抑制PI3K/AKT/NF-κB通路,抑制卵巢癌SKOV3细胞增殖、侵袭与迁移,并诱导细胞凋亡。

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of serum protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) measurement in evaluating liver damage in patients with HBV-related chronic liver diseases. MethodsA total of 110 patients who were diagnosed with HBV-related chronic liver diseases in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Medical University from October 2018 to October 2019 were enrolled as case group [chronic hepatitis B (CHB) group with 50 patients, liver cirrhosis (LC) group with 40 patients, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) group with 20 patients], and 40 healthy individuals were enrolled as control group. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to measure serum PPIX. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test or the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze diagnostic value; a Spearman correlation analysis was also performed to investigate correlation. ResultsThe CHB, HC, and HCC groups had a significantly higher level of PPIX than the control group [44.29 (25.99-85.36) ng/dl, 72.73 (48.28-90.43) ng/dl, and 91.79 (68.34-121.52) ng/dl vs 15.43 (10.87-20.16) ng/dl, all P<0.05], and the patients with decompensated LC had a significant increase in the level of PPIX compared with those with compensated LC [54.50(29.14~85.65) vs 76.09(53.47~104.37),Z=-2.176, P<0.05]. PPIX had a sensitivity of >85% and a specificity of >60% in the diagnosis of CHB, LC, and HCC. The patients in the latent stage of CHB had a significantly higher level of PPIX than those in the control group (Z=-4.303, P<0.05). In the patients with LC, PPIX was moderately positively correlated with total bilirubin (TBil) (rs=0.587, P<0.05) and moderately negatively correlated with albumin (rs=-0.408, P<0.05); in the patients with HCC, PPIX was moderately positively correlated with TBil (rs=0.470, P<0.05) and moderately negatively correlated with cholinesterase (rs=-0.459, P<0.05). ConclusionElevated serum PPIX is an early event of liver damage in patients with HBV-related chronic liver diseases and can thus be used as a sensitive parameter for the early warning and assessment of liver damage.
