摘要
目的 :探讨肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAMs)/MCF-7细胞共培养体系中VEGF过表达对裸鼠移植瘤Bcl-2表达的影响。方法:应用PMA及IL-4体外诱导活化TAMs细胞;Transwell非接触式共培养TAMs和MCF-7细胞;MCF-7细胞分为对照组、VEGF组和共培养细胞上清组,分别建立乳腺癌裸鼠移植瘤模型,计算促瘤率;Western blot法检测移植瘤中Bcl-2表达情况。结果:VEGF组和共培养细胞上清组平均瘤重较对照组均明显增加(P<0.01),促瘤率分别为61.57%和66.61%。Bcl-2蛋白在VEGF组和共培养细胞上清组移植瘤组织中均呈高表达,且明显高于对照组(P<0.01)。结论:乳腺癌细胞可过分泌VEGF等趋化因子,招募并活化TAMs,通过VEGF/Bcl-2旁分泌环路作用,抑制肿瘤细胞的凋亡,促进肿瘤进展。
Objective: To explore the effect of VEGF overexpression in TAMs/MCF-7 co-culture system on Bcl-2 expression in nude mice transplanted tumor. Method: THP-1 cell differentiation into TAMs in vitro by application of PMA and IL-4; TAMs and MCF-7 cell were co-cultured in non-contact Transwell system. MCF-7 cells were divided into control group, VEGF group and co-cultured cell supernatant group, respectively, to establish tumor transplantation model in nude mice and calculate the tumor-promoting rate; Bcl-2 expression in transplanted tumors was detected by Westernblot. Results: The mean tumor weight of VEGF group and co-cultured supernatant group was significantly increased compared with that of control group(P<0.01), and the tumor promotion rate was 61.57% and 66.61%, respectively. Bcl-2 protein was highly expressed in transplanted tumor tissues of VEGF group and co-cultured cells supernatant group, and was significantly higher than that of control group(P<0.01). Conclusion: Tumors secrete VEGF and other chemokines to recruit and activate TAMs. Inhibiting the apoptosis of tumor cells and promoting the development of the tumor by VEGF/Bcl-2 paracrine loop in tumor microenvironment.
