摘要:
Objective To explore the maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) expression of Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) colon tissues and matched normal controls,observing the affect of MEG3-overexpression in human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-BE (2),a cell model of HSCR,and elucidate the effect and mechanisms of MEG3 in HSCR.Methods Real-time fluorescence quantitative (RT-qPCR) was utilized for detecting the MEG3 expression levels in 17 HSCR colonic tissues and matched normal controls.Cell culture and transfection technique were employed for transfecting MEG3-overexpression plasmid into SK-N-BE (2) cells.And the groups of MEG3-overexpression,blank vector transfection and control were assigned.The effects of proliferation,cloning,invasion and apoptosis on MEG3-overexpression SK-N-BE (2) cells were examined by CCK-8,Edu cell proliferation assay,Transwell technique and flow cytometry.Results The expression of MEG3 was 1.783 ± 0.249 in HSCR group and 0.962 ± 0.101 in control group.Edu cell proliferation assay:the cells were (69.7 ± 11.3),(74.8 ± 9.6) and (37.5 ± 8.1);Transwell assay:(67.7 ± 8.1),(70.5 ± 10.3) and (31.6 ± 5.2);Cell apoptosis:(24.99 ± 2.78)%,(22.11 ± 2.58)% and (42.75 ± 5.95)% in blank vector,control and MEG3 groups respectively.The expression of MEG3 was up-regulated in study cases as compared with controls (P<0.01).The proliferation,cloning and invasiveness significantly decreased in MEG3-overexpression SK-N-BE (2) cells as compared with controls (P<0.01) while apoptosis increased significantly (P<0.01).Conclusions The expression level of MEG3 is abnormal in HSCR.And MEG3 may affect cell proliferation,invasion and apoptosis of SK-N-BE (2).%目的 观察母系表达基因3(maternally expressed gene 3,MEG3)在小儿先天性巨结肠(Hirschsprung's disease,HSCR)病变组织中的表达情况,并通过过表达MEG3对人神经母细胞瘤细胞SK-N-BE(2)的影响,探讨MEG3在HSCR中的作用机制及意义.方法 用RT-qPCR方法检测17例HSCR患儿病变结肠组织和17例正常结肠组织中MEG3的表达量,应用细胞培养及转染技术,在SK-N-BE(2)细胞中转染MEG3过表达质粒,并设立高表达组、空载体组及对照组,应用CCK-8、Edu、Transwell、流式细胞实验等方法检测过表达MEG3对SK-N-BE(2)细胞增殖、克隆、侵袭及凋亡的影响.结果 RT-qPCR实验中,HSCR组中MEG3的表达量为1.783±0.249,对照组为0.962±0.101;Edu细胞增殖实验中,空载体组增殖细胞数为(69.7±11.3)个,对照组为(74.8±9.6)个,MEG3组为(37.5±8.1)个;Transwell实验中,空载体组跨膜细胞数为(67.7±8.1)个,对照组为(70.5±10.3)个,MEG3组为(31.6±5.2)个;细胞凋亡实验中,空载体组细胞凋亡率为(24.99±2.78)%,对照组为(22.11±2.58)%,MEG3组为(42.75±5.95)%.HSCR患儿病变结肠组织中MEG3表达量较正常结肠组织中表达量明显升高(P<0.01),MEG3过表达质粒转染SK-N-BE(2)细胞的增殖、克隆以及侵袭能力与空载体组及对照组比较明显降低(P<0.01),而凋亡明显增加(P<0.01).结论 MEG3在HSCR患儿病变组织中表达异常,可能影响SK-N-BE(2)的增殖、侵袭和凋亡,参与巨结肠发病.
