Slug又稱為SNAI2,是鋅指轉錄因子Snail家族成員之一,主要參與胚胎發(fā)育以及腫瘤細胞侵襲遷移等惡性表型的調(diào)控[1-3]。Slug在多種類型的人類腫瘤組織中均有表達,并且其表達量與腫瘤低分化,腫瘤的復發(fā)轉移及不良預后密切相關[4-6]。大量臨床危險因素相關性分析表明,Slug表達增高是多種腫瘤轉移后復發(fā)的主要危險因素[7- 8],Slug可上調(diào)原發(fā)腫瘤細胞的細胞周期蛋白Cyclin D1,促進細胞周期G1/S轉換,進而啟動腫瘤細胞增殖[9],提示Slug在腫瘤的轉移復發(fā)中發(fā)揮著重要的作用,但目前機制尚不清楚。本研究構建Slug過表達慢病毒載體(LV-Slug),為探索Slug基因在腫瘤轉移復發(fā)的影響提供實驗基礎。

3 討論
慢病毒(Lentivirus)載體是以人類免疫缺陷型病毒(HIV)為基礎開展起來的基因治療載體,目前該技術在實驗室及臨床前研究中得到廣泛使用[12-13]。
大量臨床危險因素相關性分析表明,Slug表達增高是多種腫瘤轉移后復發(fā)的主要危險因素[7-8],提示Slug在腫瘤轉移復發(fā)及腫瘤休眠細胞激活增殖中發(fā)揮著重要作用?,F(xiàn)有研究結果也證實:體外誘導形成的休眠腫瘤細胞中的Slug表達水平明顯降低[14-15],但Slug是否參與腫瘤休眠細胞的激活,目前尚不清楚。實驗室研究證實:下調(diào)Slug表達能抑制直腸癌細胞,前列腺癌細胞,食管癌細胞的增殖能力,同時,過度表達Slug基因可增強膠質瘤細胞的增殖能力[4,16-18]。因此,有必要探討Slug對腫瘤復發(fā)的影響。
總之,本實驗成功構建含Slug基因的慢病毒載體,滴度為5×108 TU/mL,為后續(xù)進一步探索Slug基因在腫瘤復發(fā)轉移影響打下基礎。
