Abstract

Abstract: The effects of integrator complex subunits 10(INTS10)on cell cycle,apoptosis,growth and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cells and its potential molecular mechanism were explored. The HCC cell lines with stable overexpression or knockdown of INTS10 were obtained by lentivirus infection. The mRNA and protein expression levels of INTS10 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. The cell growth was detected by CCK-8, clonal formation and BrdU assay. The cell migration ability was detected by Transwell assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect the number of cell cycles and apoptosis. The results showed that overexpression of INTS10 could significantly inhibit the apoptosis, growth- DOI:10.3969/j.issn.1000-1565.2024.03.008INTS10对HCC细胞周期、凋亡、生长和迁移能力的影响王雪婷^1,2,齐欣³,魏小军⁴,杨爱清²,周钢桥^1,2,3(1.河北大学化学与材料科学学院,河北保定 071002;2.军事医学研究院辐射医学研究所,北京 100850;3.贵州大学医学院,贵州贵阳 550025;4.航天中心医院肝胆外科,北京 100049)摘要:为了探究整合因子复合物亚基10(integrator complex subunits 10,INTS10 )对人肝细胞癌(hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC)细胞周期、凋亡、生长和迁移能力的影响及其潜在的分子作用机制,利用慢病毒感染法获得稳定过表达或敲低INTS10的HCC细胞系,采用qRT-PCR和Western blotting检测INTS10 mRNA和蛋白表达水平,接着采用 CCK-8法、克隆形成和BrdU实验检测细胞生长情况,采用 Transwell小室实验检测细胞迁移能力,采用流式分析术检测细胞的周期和凋亡.结果显示:过表达INTS10可显著抑制HCC细胞的凋亡、生长和迁移能力,促进G1期细胞数量的增加,而敲低INTS10则呈现相反的表型.通过通路富集分析发现,周期相关通路被显著富集,过表达INTS10后,CDC25A和CDK4的mRNA和蛋白质水平显著减少,而CDKN1A的水平显著增加,敲低INTS10则呈现相反趋势.综上,本研究初步揭示了INTS10在HCC细胞中可能通过影响G1/S期相关蛋白质的表达而发挥抑癌基因的功能,为下一步更为深入的功能和机制研究提供了基础.关键词:肝细胞癌(HCC);整合因子复合物亚基10(INTS10);CDC25A;CDKN1A;CDK4中图分类号:Q279 文献标志码:A 文章编号:1000-1565(2024)03-0290-11Effect of INTS10 on cell cycle, apoptosis, growth and migration capacity of HCC WANG Xueting^1,2, QI Xin³, WEI Xiaojun⁴, YANG Aiqing², ZHOU Gangqiao^1,2,3(1.

Through pathway enrichment analysis, it was found that the cycle-dependent pathway was significantly enriched. Overexpression of INTS10 could significantly reduce the mRNA and protein levels of CDC25A and CDK4, while the level of CDKN1A was significantly increased, and INTS10 knockdown showed the opposite trend. In conclusion, it is preliminarily revealed that INTS10 may play a role as a tumor suppressor gene in HCC by affecting the expression of G1/S phase related proteins, which provides a foundation for further functional and mechanism studies.
