目的 通过体外实验在角质细胞中过表达或沉默叉头框蛋白O1(FOXO1)基因,研究其对血管内皮生长因子A(VEGF-A)蛋白水平和转录活性的影响。方法 采用体外细胞培养和转染方法,分别用ON-TARGET plus SMART pool人FOXO1 siRNA和对照 siRNA(ON-TARGET plus Non-targeting Control Pool)转染人永生化牙龈角质细胞(human immortalized gingival keratinocyte,HIGK),用免疫荧光法检测HIGK中FOXO1和VEGF-A的免疫荧光强度,荧光酶素实验分别检测FOXO1过表达和FOXO1沉默时VEGF-A的活性。结果 与未转染组相比,使用FOXO1 siRNA转染的HIGK中VEGF-A的蛋白水平降低了57%(P<0.05)。荧光酶素实验分析结果显示,在HIGK中过表达FOXO1后VEGF-A的转录活性增加了2.1倍(P<0.05),而FOXO1沉默时VEGF-A的转录活性减少了20%~43%(P<0.05)。结论 角质细胞中FOXO1参与VEGF-A的表达调控。 |

Abstract: |
Objective To explore the effect of forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) gene on the expression and transcription of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) through overexpressing or silencing the FOXO1 gene in vitro. Methods The human immortalized gingival keratinocyte (HIGK) was cultured and transfected with ON-TARGET plus SMART pool for human FOXO1 siRNA or ON-TARGET plus Non-targeting Control Pool (control siRNA), the fluorescence intensity of VEGF-A was measured by the immunofluorescence staining in vitro. Luciferase assay was used to test the VEGF-A luciferase activity by FOXO1 overexpression or FOXO1 silence. Results The VEGF-A protein levels in HIGK transfected with FOXO1 siRNA significantly reduced by 57% compared with HIGK without transfection (P<0.05). The luciferase reporter results showed that overexpression of FOXO1 resulted in a 2.1-fold increase in VEGF-A transcriptional activity (P<0.05), and FOXO1 silencing produced a 20%-43% decrease in VEGF-A transcriptional activity (P<0.05). Conclusion FOXO1 in HIGKs can regulate VEGF-A protein expression. |
