Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Several reports demonstrated that the ubiquitin C terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) has been found to be an oncogene in malignant tumors such as esophageal carcinoma, lung cancer and breast cancer. The aim of this study is to explore the effects of liposomal transfection of UCH-L1 siRNA on the proliferation and apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines H157. METHODS: UCH-L1 siRNA was synthesized and transfected into H157 cell by liposome. Cell morphological change was observed with microscope, and cell proliferation and apoptosis index detected by flow cytometry, UCH-L1 mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR and protein level of UCH-L1 was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: For the H157 cell transfected with siRNA, cell proliferation was inhibited significantly, cell apoptosis appeared obviously, the expression of UCH-L1 mRNA and protein level of UCH-L1 significantly decreased. CONCLUSION: UCH-L1 siRNA is able to inhibit the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cell lines H157 and induce the apoptosis. UCH-L1 might become a new target for lung carcinoma gene therapy.

泛素羧基末端水解酶-1(ubiquitin C terminal hydrolase-L1, UCH-L1),又名蛋白基因产物(PGP9.5),是泛素-蛋白酶体系中的重要成员,在细胞的蛋白水解途径中起调节细胞周期和死亡的重要作用。UCH-L1为泛素水解酶,它广泛表达于神经元分化的各个阶段,为神经内分泌系统的一个特定组织标志物。UCH-L1介导的针对细胞蛋白的泛素-蛋白酶体系统,可能是调节细胞周期基因的重要机制,通过引起细胞周期蛋白的去泛素化增加而促进未分化的体细胞无序生长和繁殖,同时UCH-L1的表达可能诱导一些能影响细胞分裂周期的基因[。因此,UCH-L1在调节细胞周期蛋白表达方面具有重要作用,从而与恶性肿瘤发生、发展及预后有重要关系。Hibi等[应用SAGE法观察到UCH-L1在原发性肺癌和肺癌细胞株中高表达,但是在正常肺组织中未检测到。UCH-L1表达不仅与小细胞肺癌发生、进展及预后有关,而且也与非小细胞肺癌发生、进展及预后有密切关系。高表达者进展快、易发生转移、侵袭潜力强及预后差,可见UCH-L1的表达是不依赖神经分泌而独立存在的与肺癌病理分期及预后相关的重要生物学指标。为了探讨靶向UCH-L1治疗在肺癌发生发展中的意义和价值,评价siRNA介导的基因治疗技术,本实验设计合成特异性靶向治疗UCH-L1的siRNA分子,并将其转染至UCH-L1阳性表达肺癌细胞株H157细胞,观察其对UCH-L1表达的阻抑作用及其对肺癌细胞凋亡、增殖的影响。
