Study on the Mechanism of Migrasome Related Genes in the Development of Liver Cancer in Human

  • 摘要: 迁移体(migrasome)是由迁移细胞产生的细胞器,在胚胎发育、机体免疫反应和肿瘤转移等细胞生物学行为过程中发挥信号转导作用,然而其在人(Homo sapiens)肝癌中的作用尚不清楚。为了探究迁移体相关基因对肝癌患者恶性进展及临床预后的影响,利用TCGA数据库分析迁移体相关标志基因TSPAN4、TSPAN7、KIF5B、MYO19、DNM1L mRNA表达水平;绘制Kaplan-Meier曲线分析上述基因对肝癌患者临床预后的影响;利用临床生信之家(assistant for clinical bioinformatics,ACLBI)网站进行GO和KEGG富集分析;运用STRING数据库平台及Cytoscape软件开展蛋白质相互作用(protein-protein interaction,PPI)网络分析。在人肝癌细胞SMMC7721、 Huh7中转染合成siRNA,用CCK8法评估转染TSPAN4后细胞增殖能力的改变;利用免疫荧光染色法检测细胞中TSPAN4蛋白的表达分布;利用碘化丙啶(propidium iodide,PI)单染法检测细胞周期分布;利用划痕伤口愈合实验和Transwell实验检测敲低TSPAN4后细胞迁移能力的改变。结果显示,TSPAN4、TSPAN7、KIF5B、MYO19、DNM1L mRNA在肝癌组织和正常组织中显著差异表达(FDR<0.001),其中TSPAN4、MYO19、DNM1L mRNA表达显著影响肝癌患者的预后(P<0.05)。TSPAN4、TSPAN7、KIF5B、MYO19、DNM1L mRNA表达影响肝癌患者多项基因表达水平,其中迁移体最主要的标志基因TSPAN4与多项免疫相关的细胞增殖、脂代谢、氨基酸代谢等功能相关(FDR<0.05),并参与细胞黏附分子、细胞周期、细胞衰老等信号通路(FDR<0.05)。敲低TSPAN4能抑制人肝癌细胞SMMC7721和Huh7的细胞增殖能力,并使处在G2/M期细胞的百分率增加,敲低TSPAN4还能抑制人肝癌细胞SMMC7721和Huh7的细胞迁移能力。本研究证明迁移体相关标志基因与肝癌患者预后相关,TSPAN4基因能影响肝癌细胞增殖、迁移及细胞周期。

     

    Abstract: Migrasomeis organelle produced by migrating cells, which play a signal transduction role in embryonic development, immune response, tumor metastasis and other cellular biological behaviors. However, its role in human(Homo sapiens) liver cancer is still unclear. In order to explore the effect of migration related genes on the malignant progression and clinical prognosis of patients with liver cancer, we used TCGA database to analyze the mRNA expression levels of migration related marker genes TSPAN4, TSPAN7, KIF5B, MYO19, DNM1L. Kaplan Meier curve was drawn to analyze the influence of these genes on the clinical prognosis of patients with liver cancer. The gene function enrichment analysis and pathway enrichment analysis were conducted on the website of assistant for clinical bioinformatics(ACLBI). The STRING database platform and Cytoscape software were used to analyze the network of protein-protein interaction(PPI). The siRNA was transfected into human hepatoma cells SMMC7721 and Huh7, and the changes of cell proliferation after transfection with TSPAN4 were evaluated by CCK8 method. The expression and distribution of TSPAN4 protein were detected by immunofluorescence staining; The cell cycle distribution was detected by propidium iodide(PI) single staining. The results showed that the expression of TSPAN4, TSPAN7, KIF5B, MYO19, DNM1L mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma and normal tissues were significantly different(FDR<0.001), among which the expression of TSPAN4, MYO19, DNM1L mRNA significantly affected the prognosis of patients with liver cancer(P<0.05). The expression of TSPAN4, TSPAN7, KIF5B, MYO19, DNM1L mRNA affects the expression level of multiple genes in patients with liver cancer. Among them, TSPAN4, the most important marker gene of the migrasome, is related to multiple immune related cell proliferation, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and other functions(FDR<0.05), and participates in phagosome, cell cycle, complement system and other signal pathways(FDR<0.05). Knockdown of TSPAN4 inhibited the proliferation of human hepatoma cells SMMC7721 and Huh7, and increased the percentage of cells in G2/M phase. This study demonstrated that the migration related marker genes were related to the prognosis of patients with liver cancer, and TSPAN4 gene affected the proliferation, migration and cell cycle of liver cancer cells.
