摘要: 目的:研究低糖基化E-cadherins对舌鳞癌细胞CAL 27增殖和侵袭的影响,并探讨E-cadherins低糖基化修饰对其介导的细胞间黏附连接(adherens junctions,AJs)稳定性的影响。方法:用编码有FLAG标签的低糖基化E-cadherins和野生型E-cadherins质粒分别转染CAL 27细胞。48 h后,用抗FLAG抗体作为一抗,Western免疫印迹检测外源性E-cadherins的表达;用细胞增殖计数、单层细胞划痕愈合和细胞体外侵袭实验检测细胞的增殖和侵袭能力;免疫沉淀法检测E-cadherins介导的AJs复合体中的α-catenins、β-catenins、γ-catenins和vinculins的含量。采用SPSS17.0软件包对数据进行统计学分析。结果:被转染细胞均有外源性E-cadherins表达。被转染细胞的增殖和侵袭能力比未被转染对照细胞显著减弱(P<0.05),而且低糖基化E-cadherins对CAL 27细胞增殖和侵袭能力的抑制作用比野生型E-cadherins显著增强(P<0.05)。低糖基化E-cadherins介导的AJs复合体中的α-catenins、β-catenins、γ-catenins和vinculins的含量均比野生型E-cadherins介导的AJs复合体显著增多(P<0.01)。结论:低糖基化E-cadherins比野生型E-cadherins更加显著抑制舌鳞癌细胞的增殖和侵袭,其机制是低糖基化E-cadherins介导的AJs比野生型E-cadherins介导的AJs更加稳定。

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of N-glycosylated E-cadherins on proliferation and invasiveness of tongue squamous cell carcinoma CAL 27 cells, and to study the effect of hypoglycosylation of E-cadherins on the stability of adherens junctions (AJs) mediated by E-cadherins. METHODS: Human tongue squamous cell carcinoma CAL 27 cells were respectively transfected with the plasmids encoding either hypoglycosylated or wild-type E-cadherins with FLAG as tags. Western blot of FLAG was used to detect the expression of exogenous E-cadherins in the transfected cells after 48 hours. The cell proliferation counting, monolayer cell scratch wound healing and in vitro cell invasiveness assays were performed to evaluate the proliferation and invasiveness of cells. Immunoprecipitation experiments were used to assay the quantity of α-catenins, β-catenins, γ-catenins and vinculins linked with the cytosolic tails of E-cadherins. All statistical analysis were performed using SPSS 17.0 software package. RESULTS: The expression of exogenous E-cadherins was detected in transfected CAL 27 cells by Western blot. Cell proliferation counting assay revealed that hypoglycosylated E-cadherins significantly inhibited proliferation of CAL 27 cells, compared with wild-type E-cadherins. The monolayer cell scratch wound healing and in vitro cell invasiveness assays indicated that hypoglycosylated E-cadherins also significantly restrained both invasiveness of CAL 27 cells, compared with wild-type E-cadherins. The immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that hypoglycosylated E-cadherins exhibited an increased association with α-catenins, β-catenins, and γ-catenins and vinculins. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with wild-type E-cadherins, hypoglycosylated E-cadherins can significantly suppress proliferation and invasiveness of tongue squamous cell carcinoma CAL 27 cells, and the mechanism was that hypoglycosylated E-cadherins can induce more stable AJs than wild-type E-cadherin.
