摘要: 采用高传能线密度(LET) 重离子辐照人胃癌SGC7901 细胞，应用流式细胞技术、蛋白质印迹法(Western blot) 及反转录聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR) 观察重离子诱导人胃癌SGC7901 细胞周期、凋亡和MSH2 表达状况。结果表明： 与对照组相比，SGC7901 细胞在辐射后72 h G2/M 期所占细胞比率(33.26±0.08) 和凋亡率(24.16±0.64) 均达到峰值，且呈时间依赖性增加；经重离子照射后，DNA错配修复基因MSH2 mRNA 和蛋白表达水平在6 h 最高。结果提示：重离子在体外诱导SGC7901 细胞周期阻滞和凋亡，且具有显著的时间依赖性效应；重离子在一定剂量和时间下，诱导了SGC7901 细胞MSH2 基因表达。DNA错配修复基因MSH2 可能参与了重离子辐照诱导胃癌细胞DNA损伤的修复应答。Human gastric cancer cell SGC7901 were irradiated with high linear energy transfer (LET) carbon ion. Apoptotic cells after irradiation were analyzed by flow cytometry and expression of MSH2 genes in the irradiated cells was detected by western blot and RT-PCR assay. Compared with the control group, we found that the number of G2/M (33.26±0.08) or apoptosis (24.16±0.64) of SGC7901 cells reached a maximum after irradiation at 72 h in a dose dependent manner. And heavy ion irradiation efficiently up-regulated the expression of MSH2 gene at 4.0 Gy after being irradiated 6 h. These results imply that heavy ion beam could induce cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in time-dependent manners. Furthermore, expression of MSH2 genes activated by carbon ion irradiation suggests that DNA mismatch repair gene MSH2 might be involved in DNA repair pathways.
