针对非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的靶向药EGFR-TKIs,自第一代问世以来发展迅速,目前第四代已在临床研发阶段。但由于新的耐药突变的不断产生,导致其应用受限。因此如何克服EGFR-TKIs耐药问题和寻找可改善肺癌靶向治疗耐药的药物已成当务之急。植物来源的单体成分种类繁多,应用前景巨大。毒胡萝卜(Thapsia garganica L.,伞形科毒胡萝卜属)是于地中海西部沿海地区发现的一种开花植物,一直被作为止痛剂应用于传统医学。毒胡萝卜素是从该植物中分离的单体化合物,作为内质网应激(ERS)的诱导剂,近年也被用于抗肿瘤和抗病毒研究。吉非替尼作为第一代EGFR-TKIs,副作用小,有效率高。本研究旨在探讨毒胡萝卜素和吉非替尼联合用药对人肺腺癌耐药细胞株PC9/GR耐药性的影响,并探讨其可能的机制。

摘要:
目的 研究毒胡萝卜素(thapsigargin)联合吉非替尼(gefitinib)对人肺腺癌耐药细胞株PC9/GR增殖的影响并探讨可能的机制。 方法 吉非替尼单独用药或吉非替尼与毒胡萝卜素联合应用,通过CCK8实验检测上述两组药物对PC9/GR细胞增殖的影响;应用流式细胞术鉴定两组药物对PC9/GR细胞凋亡的影响;应用Western blotting法检测两组药物对PC9/GR细胞蛋白ATF-6和IRE1α表达的影响。 结果 细胞增殖实验显示,与吉非替尼单独用药相比,联合用药组中PC9/GR的增殖受到更强的抑制作用;凋亡实验显示,相较于吉非替尼单独用药,联合用药能够进一步促进细胞的凋亡;Western blotting法显示,与吉非替尼单独用药相比,联合用药后PC9/GR中ATF-6和IRE1α蛋白(内质网应激标志物)表达上调,其差异具有统计学意义。 结论 在毒胡萝卜素诱导下,PC9/GR细胞对吉非替尼的敏感性增加,其中机制可能与内质网应激有关。 Abstract:Objective To study the effect and mechanism of the thapsigargin combined with gefitinib on the proliferation of human lung adenocarcinoma gefitinib resistance cell line PC9/GR. Methods The cell viability of PC9/GR treated with gefitinib alone or gefitinib combined with thapsigargin was evaluated by CCK8 assay. The flow cytometry was used to analyze the PC9/GR cell apoptosis indued by the two group drugs. The ATF-6 and IRE1α protein expression of PC9/GR cells treated with the two group drugs were detected by Western blotting. Results The group of drug combination exhibited enhanced ability to inhibit cell proliferation, promote cell apoptosis and upregulate the ATF-6 and IRE1α protein expression of the PC9/GR compared with the group gefitinib used alone. Conclusion The sensitivity of PC9/GR to gefitinib was increased when the cells were treated by thapsigargin, which may be related with the state of endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS) induced by thapsigargin. -
