摘要: 摘要: 目的 检测与干细胞相关的 2 种因子胚胎干细胞相关转录因子 4(Nanog)和分化抗原簇 44(CD44)在胃癌细胞株 MKN45 悬浮球体细胞中的表达。 方法 选择人胃癌细胞株 MKN45, 在含有表皮生长因子(EGF)及成纤维生长因子(bFGF)无血清培养液中培养, 观察球体形成情况; 采用免疫印迹(Western blot)、免疫荧光与实时定量聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)检测干细胞相关基因 Nanog 和 CD44 在球体细胞及原代贴壁细胞中的表达差异。 结果 胃癌细胞株 MKN45 在无血清培养条件下能形成悬浮球体, 球体细胞中的 Nanog 和 CD44 的 mRNA 相对表达量分别为 2.34±0.22 和 1.18±0.04, 明显高于贴壁细胞中的 Nanog 和 CD44 的 mRNA 相对表达量 1.00±0.00 和 1.00±0.05;球体细胞中的 Nanog 和 CD44 的蛋白质相对表达量分别为 0.18±0.02 和 0.24±0.04, 明显高于贴壁细胞中的相对表达量 0.07±0.02 和 0.18±0.01(P< 0.05)。 球体细胞中 Nanog 主要分布在细胞核周围及细胞质中, 而 CD44 主要在细胞膜上表达, 且同一个球体细胞中的 Nanog 与 CD44 大多同时表达。 结论 胃癌细胞株 MKN45 在无血清培养条件下形成的球体细胞具有肿瘤干细胞的特性。 Nanog/CD44 共表达细胞可能是胃癌干细胞的一种表型。

Abstract: Abstract: Objective To detect the expression of stem-cell related factors Nanog and CD44 in spheroid body-form⁃ ing cells of gastric cancer cell line MKN-45. Methods The gastric cancer cell line MKN-45 was used to culture spheroid bodies in non-adherent condition in a serum-free medium supplemented with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibro⁃ blast growth factor (bFGF). Using Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence staining and quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR), the expression levels of stem cell-related genes Nanog and CD44 were studied. Results In this study, we observed that MKN45 cells formed spheroid bodies in non-adherent condition in a serum-free medium, and the levels of Nanog and CD44 mRNA expression in spheroid body-forming cells were 2.34±0.22 and 1.18±0.04, respectively, which were higher than those in parental cells (1.00±0.00 and 1.00±0.05). The levels of Nanog and CD44 protein expression in spheroid body-forming cells were 0.18±0.02 and 0.24±0.04, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in pa⁃ rental cells (0.07±0.02 and 0.18±0.01, P< 0.05). Nanog protein was positively stained within the perinuclear and cytoplasm of the spheroid body-forming cells, and CD44 was positively stained mainly in the membrane. Dual staining of Nanog/CD44 indicated that the embryonal protein Nanog was co-localized with CD44 in the spheroid body-forming cells. Conclusion Spheroid body-forming cells developed from human gastric cancer cell line MKN-45 in serum-free medium supplemented with EGF and bFGF show characteristics of cancer stem cell (CSC). The cells co-expressed of CD44 and Nanog maybe a phe⁃ notype of gastric CSCs.
