Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of Yes-associated protein (YAP) on the apoptosis of gastric cancer BGC823 cells and related mechanism. Methods YAP small interference RNA (YAP siRNA1, YAP siRNA2) were transfected into BGC823 cells. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to determine the expression of YAP, respectively. YAP siRNA1, which had better interference effect, was selected for the follow-up experiment. MTT, plate clone formation assay and flow cytometry were applied to determine cells proliferation, cloning ability and apoptosis, respectively. The activities of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 were detected by spectrophotometry. Western blot was applied to detect β-catenin, c-myc and CyclinD1 protein levels. BGC823 cells of down-regulated YAP were treated with Wnt/β-catenin activator. The cell proliferation, apoptosis and clonogenic ability were determined. Results YAP siRNA1 and YAP siRNA2 downregulated the transcription and expression of YAP in BGC823 cells. The interference efficiency of YAP siRNA1 was better. After knocking down YAP, the abilities of cell proliferation and clone formation were decreased; the apoptosis rate was increased from (6.32±0.58)% to (32.71±2.64)%; the activities of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 were increased; the expression of β-catenin, c-myc and cyclinD1 protein were decreased, with statistically significant difference compared with normal BGC823 cells (P < 0.05). The activator treatment of Wnt/β-catenin could partly reverse the effect of YAP knockdown on the apoptosis, proliferation, cloning formation of BGC823 cells and the activities of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9. Conclusion YAP knockdown induces the apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, and the mechanism is related to the inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation.

0 引言

Yes相关蛋白(Yes-associated protein, YAP)参与调控细胞的生长、器官的发育,与肿瘤的发生有关[1]。研究显示,YAP在乳腺癌、卵巢癌等肿瘤中表达异常,并且其表达水平的高低与肿瘤患者分期及预后等有关[2-3]。在胃癌中发现YAP过度表达,并且与胃癌患者的病理特征等有关[4]。YAP敲低可以抑制多种肿瘤细胞的增殖,如胰腺癌、乳腺癌等,对于肿瘤细胞的凋亡也具有调控作用[5-6]。Wnt/β-catenin在真核生物体细胞内广泛存在,在正常的成熟细胞中激活水平极低,而在肿瘤细胞中过度激活,与肿瘤细胞的增殖、凋亡等有关[7]。研究表明,YAP可以通过作用于Wnt/β-catenin信号通路影响细胞的生长,提示两者之间存在潜在联系[8]。本实验以BGC823细胞为体外研究对象,通过小RNA干扰技术降低细胞中YAP的表达,明确YAP对胃癌BGC823细胞凋亡的影响及对Wnt/β-catenin信号通路的调控作用。

3 讨论

人YAP基因定位在11q13染色体上,其编码的蛋白质与转录激活有关,其本身并不能同DNA特异性结合,可以通过与存在于细胞核内的相关因子结合从而影响基因的表达[9]。YAP是Hippo的下游效应分子,其参与调控细胞的生长过程,是一个潜在的癌因子[10]。多西环素可以调控YAP的表达影响小鼠肺癌的发生和发展,而抑制YAP以后,肺癌小鼠肿瘤恶性程度降低[11]。在乳腺癌、胰腺癌、肺癌等患者的癌组织中均检测到YAP的过度表达,并且与患者的预后有关[12-14]。YAP可以调控肿瘤细胞的生长,在视网膜母细胞瘤、卵巢癌等肿瘤细胞中均得到验证[15-16]。YAP在胃癌组织中高表达,并且与胃癌裸鼠成瘤能力有关[17]。本实验结果显示,YAP敲低后的胃癌细胞增殖能力下降,并且克隆形成能力也降低,说明YAP下调后可以发挥抑制胃癌的作用,这与上述研究报道相符合。

本实验结果还显示,YAP下调后的胃癌细胞凋亡增多,并且细胞中Caspase-3、Caspase-9活化水平也升高,YAP敲低诱导Caspase-3、Caspase-9介导的胃癌细胞凋亡。很多研究报道称,YAP不仅参与肿瘤细胞的生长,还与肿瘤细胞凋亡有关[18]。研究显示,在肝癌细胞SMMC-7721中转染YAP shRNA后,细胞的生长速度明显减慢,并且细胞凋亡增多[19]。Caspase级联反应参与肿瘤细胞的凋亡,Caspase-3是该级联反应的执行因子,以酶原的形式存在于正常细胞中,其氮端含有一个前区,可以与Caspase-9等起始因子结合,在受到激活后可以诱导细胞凋亡的发生,细胞凋亡主要分为线粒体途径、死亡受体途径,其中Caspase-9参与线粒体凋亡途径,受到线粒体内相关信号刺激以后,可以活化形成Cleaved Caspase-9,从而激活Caspase级联反应,诱导凋亡发生[20]

Wnt/β-catenin是经典的Wnt信号通路的分支,在正常情况下,β-catenin可以由多个蛋白酶形成的泛素化蛋白酶体介导而处于降解状态,使得细胞内维持低水平的β-catenin,当细胞受到相关信号刺激以后,导致细胞内的β-catenin降解受阻,β-catenin大量聚集以后转移至细胞核内,影响下游基因的转录,调控细胞的生长[21-22]。Wnt/β-catenin与多种疾病的发生有关,在糖尿病心肌病、缺血再灌注、哮喘、肺炎等疾病中均有重要作用[23-24]。研究显示,Wnt/β-catenin在肿瘤中过度激活,其下游靶基因c-myc、cyclinD1转录和表达水平升高,是肿瘤细胞过度增殖和凋亡减少的重要原因[25]。YAP与Wnt/β-catenin共同作用影响胚胎的发育,组织器官的形成,在胶质瘤中发现,YAP可以影响胶质瘤细胞中Wnt/β-catenin的激活影响肿瘤细胞的生长[26-27]。本研究表明,YAP下调可以降低Wnt/β-catenin信号通路的激活水平,减少下游靶基因c-myc、cyclinD1的表达,而用Wnt/β-catenin信号通路激活剂处理后,YAP下调对胃癌细胞增殖凋亡的影响减弱,说明YAP可以通过抑制Wnt/β-catenin信号通路的激活再通过线粒体途径调控胃癌细胞的凋亡。

综上,YAP下调后可以诱导胃癌细胞的生长并促进胃癌细胞凋亡,并且其作用机制与抑制Wnt/β-catenin信号通路有关。YAP是潜在的治疗胃癌的基因靶点,沉默其表达后可以发挥抗肿瘤的作用,这为以后靶向YAP治疗胃癌提供了有力依据。本实验只在一株胃癌细胞系中进行了初步探讨,以后会在多株胃癌细胞和动物实验中进行验证,为明确YAP在胃癌中的作用提供可靠依据。
