Cell division cycle protein 27 gene silencing inhibited GH3 migration and its secretion function

  • 摘要: 目的 进行3种全基因组外显子测序所得基因体外的功能验证,为垂体柄中断综合征病因研究的体内实验提供理论依据。 方法 将细胞分化周期蛋白27(cell division cycle protein 27,CDC27)、神经纤维瘤病1型(neurofibromatosis type 1,NF1)、X染色体关联的泛素特异性蛋白酶9(ubiquitin specific peptidase 9,X-Linked,USP9X)三种基因经由小干扰RNA (siRNA)分别转染至细胞内,每种基因均设置实验组、阴性对照(negative control,NC)组、空白细胞组。通过RTPCR筛选出各基因最佳的siRNA敲低序列以用于复筛,Western bolt复筛各基因最佳敲低序列在蛋白水平的表达,以确定目标基因进行下一步研究。依次运用CCK-8检测细胞增殖能力及形态,细胞划痕实验检测细胞迁移,酶联免疫吸附试验(enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,ELISA)检测细胞分泌功能,Western bolt检测垂体特异性转录因子-1(pit-oct-unc class 1 homeobox 1,POU1F1)和垂体特异性转录因子祖先蛋白(homeobox protein prophet of pit-1,PROP1)表达水平。 结果 1) CDC27在siRNA 117和1968序列时能够达到稳定的沉默效率,并且在mRNA及蛋白两个水平上均能够被敲低,NF1和UPS9X仅能在mRNA水平上实现敲低而未实现蛋白水平的敲低,无法进行后续实验;2) CDC27沉默对于细胞的增殖及形态无明显影响(P> 0.05);3) CDC27沉默能够明显抑制细胞的迁移能力(P< 0.05);4) CDC27沉默能够明显抑制细胞分泌生长激素(growth hormone,GH)、泌乳素(prolactin,PRL)分泌(P均< 0.05),对促甲状腺激素(thyroid stimulating hormone,TSH)的分泌无明显影响(P> 0.05);5) CDC27沉默能够明显下调POU1F1与PROP1的表达水平(P< 0.05)。 结论 CDC27沉默可以抑制GH3细胞的迁移及其生长激素、泌乳素的分泌。

     

    Abstract: Objective To verify the function of three genes obtained from Whole-Exome Sequencing (WES) in vitro, in order to lay the theoretical foundation for pituitary stalk interruption syndrome etiology research. Methods The cell division cycle protein 27 (CDC27) siRNA, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene siRNA, ubiquitin specific peptidase 9, X-linked (USP9X) siRNA were transfected into GH3 cells respectively and every gene was set up in experiment group, negative control (NC) group and blank control group. The real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was adopted to screen expressions of mRNA of each gene to determine the maximum knockdown efficiency at first, then western bolt (WB) were utilized for secondary screening to determine the optimal gene at the protein levels. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect cell proliferation and morphology, wound healing assay for cell migration, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for hormone secretion ability, and WB for expression levels of pit-octunc class 1 homeobox 1 (POU1F1) and homeobox protein prophet of Pit-1(PROP1). Results 1) CDC27 could be knocked down by siRNA-117 and siRNA-1968 at both protein and mRNA levels, while NF1 and UPS9X could only be knocked down at mRNA level, thus causing a halt to follow-up experiments; 2) CDC27 silencing had no significant effect on the proliferation and morphology of GH3 cells (P> 0.05); 3) CDC27 silencing inhibited cell migration (P< 0.05); 4) CDC27 silencing inhibited GH and PRL secretion significantly (all P< 0.05), but no significant effect was found on TSH (P> 0.05); 5) CDC27 silencing inhibited both POU1F1 and PROP1 expression significantly (all P< 0.05). Conclusion CDC27 silencing suppresses GH3 cell migration and GH and PRL secretion.
