MARCKS基因在前列腺癌细胞中的表达、蛋白亚细胞定位及其对PC-3细胞迁移的影响

Expression and Protein Subcellular Localization of MARCKS Gene in Prostate Cancer Cells and Its Effect on Migration Ability in PC-3 Cells

  • 摘要: 本研究旨在检测前列腺癌细胞系中MARCKS基因表达的水平,构建MARCKS基因的表达载体并明确其在细胞中的表达和外源蛋白的亚细胞定位,检测MARCKS基因过表达对PC-3细胞迁移能力的影响。利用Western blot检测MARCKS蛋白在多种前列腺癌细胞系内的水平。根据MARCKS蛋白序列设计合成带有N末端或C末端HA标签的引物,用PCR扩增目的片段并与载体进行连接,进行酶切鉴定及测序比对。将序列正确的质粒转染至PC-3细胞中,采用Western blot检测N-HA-MARCKS和C-HA-MARCKS蛋白并利用免疫荧光染色检测外源蛋白在细胞中的定位。通过Transwell实验检测N-HA-MARCKS和C-HA-MARCKS对PC-3细胞迁移能力的影响。本研究构建了带有不同标签位置的MARCKS基因的表达载体,其中C-HA-MARCKS蛋白分子的质量更高,且C-HA-MARCKS蛋白在细胞膜上定位更明显。N-HA-MARCKS和C-HA-MARCKS均增强PC-3细胞的迁移能力。本研究结果为MARCKS基因在前列腺癌中的作用及其分子机制的深入解析提供了实验基础。

     

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression level of MARCKS in prostate cancer cell lines, construct expression plasmids of MARCKS, explore the expression of plasmids in cells and the subcellular localization of the exogenous proteins, and detect the effects of overexpression of MARCKS gene on the migration ability of PC-3 cells. Western blot was carried out to evaluate the level of MARCKS in several prostate cancer cell lines. N or C terminal HA tagged primers were designed according to the coding sequence of MARCKS. The target fragment was amplified by PCR and subjected to ligate with vector. After enzyme digestion identification and sequence alignment, the plasmids with correct sequence were transfected into PC-3 cells. Western blot was used to detect N-HA-MARCKS and C-HA-MARCKS proteins, and immunofluorescence staining was utilized to detect their subcellular localizations. Transwell assay was used to evaluate the effects of N-HA-MARCKS and C-HA-MARCKS on the migration ability of PC-3 cells. In this study, the expression plasmids of MARCKS gene with different tag were constructed. The molecular mass of C-HA-MARCKS protein was larger than N-HA-MARCKS, and C-HA-MARCKS protein was more obviously located on the cell membrane. Both N-HA-MARCKS and C-HA-MARCKS promoted the migration ability of PC-3 cells. Our study provides an experimental basis for further elucidating the molecular mechanism of MARCKS in prostate cancer cells.
