Background 索拉非尼(Sorafenib)属于多激酶抑制剂,是一种新型多靶点抗肿瘤药物。具有抑制肿瘤细胞增殖和血管形成的双重作用,即一方面可以抑制信号传导系统Raf抑制肿瘤细胞增生;另一方面通过抑制血管内皮生长因子受体(vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, VEGFR)和血小板衍生生长因子受体(platelet-derived growth factor receptor, PDGFR)等酪氨酸激酶受体从而抑制肿瘤新生血管的形成和切断肿瘤细胞的营养供应而达到遏制肿瘤生长目的。
EMT的发生主要包括细胞形态学的改变、细胞间粘附结构的缺失和细胞免疫表型的变化:EMT的发生主要包括细胞形态学的改变、细胞间粘附结构的缺失和细胞免疫表型的变化: (1)细胞形态学上:上皮细胞极性缺失,细胞变为梭形; (2) 细胞间超微结构发生变化:骨架结构由以角蛋白为主的转化为以波形蛋白(Vimentin)为主,同时细胞间的连接结构蛋白如闭锁小带蛋白1(ZO-1)和泡膜蛋白1(VMP1)下调或缺失,导致细胞间粘附能力降低; (3) 细胞的免疫表型:上皮细胞标记物E-cadherin表达降低,-catenin向细胞核内转移,间质细胞标记物N-cadherin、Vimentin等表达上调,这一过程使细胞失去上皮表型,表现出间质细胞特性。
细胞缺氧模型建立: 1. 化学缺氧法:细胞培养基中加入化学诱导剂如二氯化钴(Cocl2)、氰化物、亚硫酸钠等进行化学诱导,这些化学试剂可造成细胞内呼吸链功能障碍或者导致培养基内氧浓度降低,从而使细胞出现缺氧。 2. 物理缺氧法:应用三气培养箱根据调控不同浓度的O2, CO2和N2使细胞出现不同程度的缺氧。 用三气培养箱、亚硫酸钠和Cocl2进行肿瘤细胞缺氧研究发现,三种方法都能导致细胞缺氧,引起细胞中HIF-1表达的升高,其中三气培养箱法和Cocl2诱导法还能使细胞发生EMT的改变,通过低氧浓度或Cocl2干预后,细胞中的EMT相关蛋白的表达发生了改变,细胞中HIF-1和Vimentin表达显著上调,而E-cadherin的表达下调,由此说明这两种方法均能引起细胞缺氧,并能致使细胞发生EMT。 Cocl2已被广泛用于细胞缺氧致EMT模型,该方法造模稳定。
