[Effect of p38MAPK gene silencing on expression of oncogenes and apoptotic genes induced by PM(2.5) in hepatocytes].

Objective: To study the effect of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) gene silencing on expression of apoptotic genes and oncogenes in hepatocytes treated with PM(2.5). Methods: From June to September 2019, according to the p38MAPK gene mRNA sequence provided by GenBank, three interfering sequences were designed and synthesized, ligated into PLVX-shRNA2-puro after annealing, and the recombinant lentiviral vector was transfected into L02 hepatocytes. The p38MAPK silencing cells were identified by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and western blotting. The normal L02 cells and p38MAPK silencing cells were treated with 50 μg/mL PM(2.5) water soluble solution, 10 μmol/L positive control Cr(6+), and a blank control group was set up, the treatment time was 24 h. The mRNA levels of oncogenes (c-fos, c-myc, k-ras) , tumor suppressor gene (p53) and apoptotic genes (Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9) were detected by real-time PCR. The protein levels of oncogenes and apoptotic genes were detected by Western blotting. Results: The expression levels of p38MAPK mRNA and protein in p38MAPK gene silencing cells were significantly lower than those in L02 hepatocytes (P<0.05) , and the p38MAPK gene silencing cell line was successfully constructed. Compared with the blank control group, the expression levels of the oncogenes c-fos, c-myc, k-ras and the apoptosis genes Caspase-3, Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 increased, the expression level of tumor suppressor gene p53 decreased in the L02 hepatocyte group treated with PM(2.5) water soluble matter, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Compared with the L02 hepatocytes group treated with PM(2.5) water soluble matter, the expression levels of the oncogenes c-fos, c-myc, k-ras and apoptosis genes Caspase-3, Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 decreased, the expression level of tumor suppressor gene p53 increased in the p38MAPK gene silencing cells group treated with PM(2.5) water soluble matter, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusion: PM(2.5) has effects on the expression of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and apoptotic genes in L02 hepatocytes, while p38MAPK gene silencing can inhibit the effects of PM(2.5) on L02 hepatocytes.目的： 研究p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶（MAPK）基因沉默对大气细颗粒物（PM(2.5)）染毒肝细胞（L02细胞）相关基因表达的影响。 方法： 于2019年6至9月，根据GenBank提供的p38MAPK基因序列，设计合成3条干扰序列，退火后连接到PLVX-shRNA2-puro中，将重组慢病毒载体转染L02细胞。用实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应（PCR）和蛋白免疫印迹（Western blotting）法对p38MAPK基因沉默效果进行鉴定。用浓度为50 μg/ml的PM(2.5)水溶物和10 μmol/L阳性对照Cr(6+)分别染毒L02细胞、p38MAPK基因沉默细胞24 h，同时设立空白对照组。用荧光定量PCR检测癌基因（c-fos、c-myc、k-ras）、抑癌基因（p53）和凋亡基因（Caspase-3、Caspase-8、Caspase-9）的相对表达水平。 结果： p38MAPK基因沉默细胞中p38MAPK基因和蛋白表达水平较正常L02细胞明显下降（P<0.05），p38MAPK基因沉默细胞株构建成功。与空白对照组比较，PM(2.5)染毒L02细胞组癌基因c-fos、c-myc、k-ras和凋亡基因Caspase-3、Caspase-8、Caspase-9表达水平升高，抑癌基因p53表达水平下降，差异均有统计学意义（P<0.05）；与PM(2.5)染毒L02细胞组比较，PM(2.5)染毒p38MAPK基因沉默细胞组癌基因c-fos、c-myc、k-ras和凋亡基因Caspase-3、Caspase-8、Caspase-9表达水平下降，抑癌基因p53表达水平升高，差异均有统计学意义（P<0.05）。 结论： PM(2.5)对L02细胞癌基因、抑癌基因和凋亡基因表达有明显影响，而p38MAPK基因沉默可抑制PM(2.5)对L02细胞的影响。.
