摘要
目的:研究siRNA CD31靶向沉默血管内皮细胞中血小板内皮细胞黏附分子1(platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1,PECAM-1)基因对鼠源性血管内皮瘤(murine hemangioendothelioma,EOMA)细胞增殖及其VEGF表达的影响。方法:实验分为裸siRNA CD31组、siRNA CD31-FAM组、稳定阴性对照(SNC)组、空白对照(Opti-Med)组,以阳离子脂质体(RNAi-mate)为载体将化学合成的2'-O-甲基修饰的siRNA CD31转染体外培养的EOMA细胞,以激光共聚焦显微镜观察siRNA CD31的转染效果,以四甲基偶氮唑蓝(MTT)法检测siRNA CD31对EOMA细胞增殖的影响,以RT-PCR、Western blotting分别检测EOMA细胞中PECAM-1、VEGF的表达水平。结果:与SNC组和空白对照组比较,裸siRNA CD31和siRNA CD31-FAM转染的EOMA细胞中的PECAM-1 mRNA和蛋白、VEGF mRNA和蛋白的表达量均显著降低(均P<0.01)。与SNC组比较,裸siRNA CD31组、siRNA CD31-FAM组的EOMA细胞增殖抑制率明显上升[(18.82±1.46)%、(18.91±2.21)%vs(0.61±1.06)%,均P<0.01]。结论:采用siRNA CD31-脂质体复合物沉默EOMA细胞中的PECAM-1基因可抑制VEGF mRNA和蛋白的表达,从而抑制EOMA细胞的增殖。
Objective:To investigate the effects of siRNA CD31-targeted silencing of the platelet endothelial cell adhe- sion molecule 1 (PECAM-1) or CD31 gene on VEGF expression and proliferation in endothelial cells. Methods: Murine hemangioendothelioma cells (EOMAs) were used as a model. They were transfected with naked siRNA CD31, siRNA CD31-FAM, a stable negative control (SNC) siRNA and Opti-Med as a blank control, respectively, using lipofectamin (RNAi-mate). After transfection, cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assays. PECAM-1 and VEGF mRNA and protein levels were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively. Results: PECAM-1 mRNA and protein levels and proliferative activity were all significantly lower in EOMAs transfected with naked siRNA CD31 and siRNA CD31-FAM than in EOMAs transfected with the SNC and Opti-MEM (P 〈0.01 ). As compared with the SNC, naked siRNA CD31 and siRNA CD31-FAM rested significantly higher rates of proliferation inhibition (P 〈 0.01 ). Conclusion: The chemi- cally synthesized 2'-O-methyl-siRNA CD31 may effectively silence the target gene PECAM-1 and inhibit proliferation in EOMAs, at least partially through a VEGF signaling-dependent mechanism.
