Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: TCF21, a newly discovered gene, exhibits tumor suppressor function in a variety of tumors. This study aims to observe the effects of TCF21 on the proliferation, apoptosis and migration of A549 human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells. METHODS: TCF21 was overexpressed in A549 cells via lentiviral transfection. Fluorescence-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis were used to analyze the expression of the target gene. Transwell, proliferation assay, and flow cytometry were applied to detect the effect of TCF21 overexpression on the migration, proliferation, and apoptosis of A549 cells after transfection. RESULTS: The proliferation and migration of A549 cells were inhibited, and the apoptotic rate was increased by overexpressing TCF21. CONCLUSIONS: The tumor suppressor gene, TCF21, significantly inhibits the proliferation and migration, as well as facilitates early apoptosis of A549 cells.

过表达TCF21对A549凋亡率的影响
在转染后72 h使用流式细胞仪对三组细胞进行了细胞凋亡分析。结果显示高表达TCF21蛋白的实验组较空白载体组和未处理组细胞凋亡率明显上升(16.93±1.21 vs 1.29±0.32, 0.76±0.39, P < 0.05)且为早期凋亡,而后两者之间无明显差异。这一结果说明TCF21的过表达能够促进肺癌细胞A549发生早期凋亡(图 4)。
