摘要: 目的 探讨lncRNA-HOTTIP在低氧诱导人舌鳞癌细胞上皮-间质转化过程中的作用。方法 体外正常氧(20% O2)或低氧(1% O2)状态下培养舌鳞癌SCC9、CAL27细胞48 h,实时定量PCR检测lncRNA-HOTTIP与HIF-1α的表达水平;通过小干扰RNA(Si-HIF1α)转染舌鳞癌细胞,检测HIF-1α敲低后lncRNA-HOTTIP的表达变化;进一步通过小干扰RNA(Si-HOTTIP)转染舌鳞癌细胞,验证敲低lncRNA-HOTTIP后E-cadherin、Fibronectin与Vimentin的蛋白和mRNA水平,以及细胞迁移能力的变化。采用SPSS13.0软件包对数据进行统计学分析。结果 人舌鳞癌细胞SCC9、CAL27在低氧培养48 h后,lncRNA-HOTTIP与HIF-1α均显著升高;Si-HIF1α转染SCC9、CAL27并于低氧培养后,HIF-1α水平显著降低,lncRNA-HOTTIP表达下降。Si-HOTTIP转染SCC9、CAL27并在低氧培养后,lncRNA-HOTTIP水平降低,间质标志蛋白Vimentin和Fibronectin在蛋白和mRNA水平显著降低,上皮标志蛋白E-cadherin表达升高,细胞迁移能力显著降低。结论 低氧可通过上调HIF-1α并激活lncRNA-HOTTIP表达,进而促进人舌鳞癌细胞发生上皮-间质转化及转移。

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of lncRNA-HOTTIP on hypoxia induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in human tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). METHODS: TSCC cell lines SCC9 and CAL27 were cultured under hypoxia (1% O2) or normoxia (20% O2) for 48 h. qRT-PCR was used to detect expressions of lncRNA-HOTTIP and HIF-1α at mRNA level. After transfection of HIF-1α with siRNA, HIF-1α and lncRNA-HOTTIP level were furthered detected. TSCC cell lines were further transfected lncRNA-HOTTIP with siRNA under hypoxia, the expression of HIF-1α, Vimentin, Fibronectin and E-cadherin, as well as invasion, were detected. The date was statistically analyzed with SPSS13.0 software package. RESULTS: Both SCC9 and CAL27 cells under hypoxia for 48 h showed increased lncRNA-HOTTIP and HIF-1α expression.After knocking down of HIF-1α with siRNA, lncRNA-HOTTIP level was significantly reduced. After knocking down of lncRNA-HOTTIP with siRNA, lncRNA-HOTTIP, Vimentin and Fibronectin were significantly downregulated but E-cadherin was upregulated under hypoxia; the invasion ability was decreased in SCC9 and CAL27 cells. CONCLUSIONS: Hypoxia increases HIF-1α and lncRNA-HOTTIP expression, and hypoxia induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and metastasis of TSCC via upregulating lncRNA-HOTTIP.
