辣椒素对人大细胞肺癌NCI-H460细胞侵袭能力及E-钙黏蛋白、Snail蛋白表达的影响

摘要

Objective To investigate the effects of capsaicin on the invasion ability of human large cell carcinoma NCI-H460 and the expressions of E-cadherin and Snail;To discuss the possible mechanisms of anti-non-small cell lung cancer.Methods NCI-H460 cells were cultured in vitro and treated with capsaicin at various concentrations, and no capsacin-treated group was set as control group. Effects of capsaicin on NCI-H460 apoptosis, its invasion ability, and the changes in protein expressions of E-cadherin and Snail were evaluated by Hoechst33342 nuclear staining assay, Transwell chamber invasion assay, and Western blot respectively. Results Compared with the control group, Hoechst33342 nuclear staining assay showed that capsaicin could induce NCI-H460 cell apoptosis (P<0.05);Transwell invasion in vitro results showed that capsaicin could significantly inhibit invasion of penetrating cells (P<0.05);Western blot analysis showed that E-cadherin expression level was significantly elevated and snail expression level significantly decreased (P<0.05).Conclusion Capsaicin can induce NCI-H460 cell apoptosis. Decrease the Snail expression and stimulate E-cadherin expression so as to inhibit the invasion ability of NCI-H460, which may be one of its mechanisms of anti-non-small cell lung cancer.%目的 观察辣椒素对人大细胞肺癌NCI-H460细胞侵袭能力及E-钙黏蛋白(E-cadherin)和Snail蛋白表达的影响,探讨其抗非小细胞肺癌的可能机制.方法 体外培养NCI-H460细胞,以不同终浓度辣椒素进行处理,未加辣椒素为对照组.采用Hoechst33342核染色分析、Transwell小室细胞侵袭实验及Western blot检测,观察辣椒素对NCI-H460细胞凋亡、侵袭能力及E-cadherin、Snail蛋白表达变化的影响.结果 与对照组比较,Hoechst33342核染色分析表明,辣椒素各浓度组可明显诱导NCI-H460细胞凋亡(P<0.05);Transwell体外侵袭实验结果显示,辣椒素可显著抑制侵袭穿膜细胞数(P<0.05);Western blot检测结果表明,辣椒素各浓度组 E-cadherin 表达水平明显升高、Snail 表达水平明显降低(P<0.05).结论 辣椒素能明显诱导NCI-H460细胞凋亡;降低Snail表达、刺激E-cadherin的表达从而抑制NCI-H460细胞侵袭能力,可能是其抗非小细胞肺癌的机制之一.
