AIM: To investigate CD95 ligand and its physiological function in liver neoplasms.

METHODS: The levels of soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) were evaluated in a group of patients affected by hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced chronic hepatitis, HBV-positive liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).To further study, we constructed recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 hisB-CD95L, which was then tranfected into human hepatoma cell line HepG2 by lipofection.After stained by annexin V and propidium iodine, HepG2 cells were detected by flow cytometer.

RESULTS: CD95L levels were significantly decreased in patients with HCC when compared to the patients with hepatitis or liver cirrhosis.The correct recombinant pcDNA3.1hisB-CD95L was selected by PCR and restriction endonuclease digestion and confirmed by DNA sequencing respectively.Subsequently a significant proportion of cells became apoptotic, as evidenced by positive annexin staining.

CONCLUSION: CD95-CD95 ligand system can induce apoptosis of hepatoma cells.

3 讨论

CD95 /CD95 L是研究较为广泛的细胞凋亡分子, 是传导细胞凋亡信号的重要途径之一[1-5].目前对CD95配体在肝癌的发生、增生和转移过程中的作用尚不明确, 方法仅限于一些肝组织原位检测方法如免疫组化、原位杂交等.初步证实肝癌患者CD95/CD95L及其mRNA表达在癌周正常组织明显高于癌组织, 且恶性程度愈高, 在分化很差的癌细胞, 难以发现CD95/CD95L及其mRNA表达表达量愈低[6-10].在肝癌细胞转移过程中, Kupffer细胞可释放TNFα, 诱导肝癌细胞表达CD95/CD95L导致肝癌细胞凋亡, 依此阻止肝癌细胞的转移[11].sCD95L以溶解状态存在于体液中, 可与靶细胞CD95结合, 启动凋亡信号的传导[12-17].我们通过对血清sCD95L检测表明, 肝癌患者血清sCD95L明显低于慢性肝炎及肝炎肝硬化患者, 提示在肝癌的发生中, sCD95L有一定的作用, 有进一步研究价值.

真核表达载体pcDNA3.1hisB在多克隆位点的上游和下游分别带有CMV的启动子和BGH的polyA尾, 这种强有力的巨细胞病毒的增强启动子序列, 能高效表达插入的目的基因, 并且可在范围广泛的宿主细胞中工作.该载体带有筛选标志Neo基因, 在Neo基因的上游和下游分别带有SV40的启动子和polyA尾, 保证了Neo基因的有效转录[18-24].为研究FasL的生物学效应, 我们选择了pcDNA3.1hisB作为表达载体, 将CD95LcDNA转染入功能接近正常肝细胞肝癌细胞系HepG2, 免疫组化显示CD95L已在细胞膜得以表达, 而且在培养液上清也检测到了sCD95L的表达, 表明CD95LcDNA转染后的HepG2细胞已具备表达CD95L的能力.在细胞凋亡检测手段上, 采用检测细胞膜成分变化的Annexin V 联合PI法, 其原理磷脂酰丝氨酸(phosphatidylserine, PS)正常位于细胞膜的内侧, 但在细胞凋亡期, PS可从细胞膜的内侧翻转到细胞膜的表面, 暴露在细胞外环境中.Annexin-V能与PS高亲和力特异性结合.碘化丙啶(propidine iodide, PI)是一种核酸染料, 他不能透过完整的细胞膜, 但在凋亡中晚期和坏死期的细胞, PI能够透过细胞膜而使细胞核红染.因此将Annexin-V与PI匹配使用, 就可以将凋亡早晚期的细胞以及坏死细胞区分开来.采用流式细胞仪测量细胞悬液中细胞荧光强度来区分正常细胞、坏死细胞和凋亡细胞[25-32].转染了CD95L的HepG2细胞与转染了HBV DNA的HepG2细胞(HepG2.2.15)的共同培养时, 可使HepG2细胞出现细胞凋亡.由此表明, 肝癌细胞可通过CD95/CD95L途径凋亡.
