目的探讨mTOR在乳腺癌中的表达及其抑制剂CCI-779对乳腺癌细胞MDA-MB-231增殖及凋亡的影响。方法采用免疫组化SP法检测mTOR蛋白在乳腺癌组织和乳腺癌细胞MDA-MB-231中的表达;MTT法检测mTOR抑制剂CCI-779对MDA-MB-231细胞增殖的影响;应用AnnexinV-FITC/PI法检测CCI-779对MDA-MB-231细胞凋亡的影响。结果 mTOR蛋白在71例乳腺癌组织中的阳性率为54.9%,明显高于32例癌旁组织(阳性率为21.9%);MDA-MB-231细胞中亦存在mTOR蛋白的表达;mTOR抑制剂CCI-779对MDA-MB-231细胞的增殖具有显著抑制作用,呈浓度和时间依赖性;但CCI-779并不能诱导MDA-MB-231细胞发生凋亡。结论 mTOR与乳腺癌关系密切,其抑制剂CCI-779具有较强的抗MDA-MB-231细胞活性,有望成为乳腺癌治疗的前景药物。
Purpose To investigate the expression of mTOR in breast cancer, and to observe the effect of CCI-779 on proliferation and apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cell. Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of mTOR protein in breast cancer tissue and MDA-MB-231 cell. MTT method was used to show effect of CCI-779 on proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cell. Annex-inV-FITC/PI method was used to show effect of CCI-779 on apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cell. Results 54.9% in 71 cases of breast cancer tissue could express mTOR protein, the expression was significantly higher than in 32 cases of normal tissue (21.9%), mTOR protein was also detected in MDA-MB-231 cell, CCI-779 could inhibit the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cell, and show a dose-and time-dependent, but CCI-779 could not induce apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 with AnnexinV-FITC/PI assay. Conclusion mTOR is closely related to the formation of breast cancer, CCI-779 has strong activity against MDA-MB-231 cell, it has prospect f
