The expression level of alpha Bcrystallin protein was detected by RTPCR and Western blot. The detection rates of alpha Bcrystallin mRNA and protein expression in cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were analyzed.ResultsAlpha Bcrystallin mRNA expression rate in cancer tissues was significantly higher than adjacent normal tissues (P<0.01). The patients with colon cancer involving the serosa obtained obviously higher alpha Bcrystallin expression rate than the one not involving the serosa, The group which has bigger tumor or with lymph node metastasis has higher expression of alpha Bcrystallin than those group with smaller size of tumor or without lymph node metastasis (P<0.05), and its expression has no correlation with age, sex and tumor differentiation (P>0.05). The protein of alpha Bcrystallin was detected in cancer tissues but not in adjacent normal tissues (P<0.01) by Western blotting.ConclusionThe expression of alpha Bcrystallin is positively correlated with tumorogenesis and progression of colon cancer. It may be used as a good marker for clinic therapeutic purpose and prognosis estimation of colon cancer.    Key words:Alpha Bcrystallin;Colon Carcinoma;RTPCR;Western Blot1材料与方法    1.1标本

Trizol试剂,匀浆,将匀浆后的液体转入1.5ml微量离心管中,加入0.2ml氯仿,振荡15sec,静置2min。4℃离心,12000r/min ×10min,将上层水相移至一新的1.5ml离心管中。加入0.5ml异丙醇,轻轻混匀,室温静置10min。4℃离心,15000r/min×10min,弃上清。加入1ml 75%乙醇,轻轻洗涤沉淀。4℃离心,10000g×5min,弃上清。晾干,加入20μl的DEPC水溶解(65℃促溶10~15min)。在20μl的反应体积中加入2.0μl总RNA,置于37℃孵箱中反应1h,接着95℃灭活5min,再立即冰浴,-20℃备用。然后进行PCR扩增,在25μl PCR反应体系中加入cDNA

RTPCR产物经1.5%琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测见一特异扩增条带,其分子量大小与预期结果(288bp)相符,结果见图1。alpha Bcrystallin mRNA在结肠癌组织中表达见表1。即alpha Bcrystallin 基因在结肠癌组织中表达阳性率明显高于正常组织(P<0.01),在发生浆膜外转移者的表达阳性明显高于浆膜内转移者(P<0.05),在较大肿瘤者中的表达阳性率明显高于较小肿瘤者,在有淋巴结转移者中的表达阳性率明显高于无淋巴结转移者(P<0.05),但与患者性别、年龄及肿瘤的分化程度无关(P>0.05)。  还可通过结合caspase3前体的活化中间产物p24,并阻止p24的进一步自体水解活化,从而抑制caspase9(线粒体通路)和caspase8(死亡受体通路)对caspase3的激活,起到抗凋亡的作用[35];另外还可通过阻止RAS的激活抑制ERK1/2的活性,从而大大减轻Ca2+诱导引起的凋亡作用[11]。通过RNAi技术消除alpha Bcrystallin以后,细胞对凋亡十分敏感[12]。最近研究资料显示alpha Bcrystallin与多种肿瘤的发生相关。本研究发现alpha Bcrystallin mRNA在结肠癌组织中表达阳性率明显高于正常组织,alpha Bcrystallin蛋白在结肠癌组织的中的表达明显高于癌旁正常组织,与alpha Bcrystallin在其他肿瘤中的研究结果一致[710]。可能是由于alpha Bcrystallin可以阻断细胞凋亡的信号传递,抑制了细胞的凋亡,从而有利于肿瘤的形成;本研究发现alpha Bcrystallin在较大肿瘤者中的表达阳性率明显高于较小肿瘤者,在有淋巴结转移者中的表达阳性率明显高于无淋巴结转移者(P<0.05),可能是由于alpha Bcrystallin的表达抑制肿瘤细胞的凋亡,使肿瘤细胞进一步恶性增殖,从而使肿瘤不断增大;敲除alpha Bcrystallin基因后,发现caspase3的活性明显增强,凋亡广泛,超微结构显示肿瘤血管明显少于野生型[12 13]。据此,我们可以推测alpha Bcrystallin在结肠癌中也起到抑制肿瘤血管内皮细胞凋亡的作用,从而促进肿瘤血管的形成,使肿瘤的血供丰富,这样有利于肿瘤的进一步增大,同时可能也增加了肿瘤细胞侵润和转移的机会,这与本实验的结果相符。另外,我们发现alpha Bcrystallin在发生浆膜外转移者的表达阳性明显高于浆膜内转移者。Moyano等[8]体外研究发现alpha Bcrystallin在乳腺癌中高表达可增加乳腺癌细胞的转移和浸润。由此我们可以推测alpha Bcrystallin在结肠癌中高表达可能也增加了结肠癌细胞的转移和浸润。以上结果可以提示alpha Bcrystallin的高表达在结肠癌的发生发展过程中可能起重要的作用。这或许可以为结肠癌的治疗提供一个潜在的靶标。【参考文献】  [1]Alge CS,Priglinger
