摘要: 目的:探讨肿瘤相关成纤维细胞(CAFs)的来源。方法:分离正常牙龈组织和口腔鳞癌组织的成纤维细胞,将口腔鳞状细胞癌细胞Cal27培养基加入到正常牙龈成纤维细胞内(NFs);以NFs作为阴性对照、来自于口腔鳞癌组织的成纤维细胞为阳性对照,通过免疫细胞化学染色、实时定量RT-PCR等技术对其进行对比研究。结果:与NFs相比,CAFs胞体更大,排列更加混乱,生长更为快速,形态明显不同。免疫细胞化学染色结果显示:CAFs波形蛋白(VIM)呈阳性,α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)部分呈强阳性、部分呈阴性,成纤维细胞激活蛋白(FAP)呈强阳性,血小板源性生长因子受体α(PDGFR-α)呈阳性,细胞角蛋白(CK)呈阴性;NFs的VIM呈阳性,其余呈阴性;NFs与Cal27条件培养基共培养后,可见α-SMA表达部分阳性,FAP和PDGFR-α表达呈强阳性。实时定量RT-PCR结果发现:与NFs比较,CAFs、NFs与Cal27条件培养基共培养后α-SMA、FAP的表达明显上调,PDGFR-α的表达明显下调。结论:口腔鳞状细胞癌细胞可激活NFs转化为CAFs,NFs可能为CAFs的来源之一。

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the source of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Methods:Normal fibroblasts (NFs) and CAFs were separated from normal gingival tissues and oral squamous carcinoma tissues, and then Cal27 medium was addedto NFs; we carried on the contrast research by immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR technology, regarding NFs as negative control, CAFs as the positive control. Results:Compared with NFs, CAFs cell body was bigger, more disarranged, more rapid in growth, and with obviously different morphology. Cell immunohistochemistry showed: CAFs showed positive for vimentin, α-SMA was partly strongly positive, partly negative and FAP was strong positive, PDGFR-α was positive, CK (total) was negative. NFs was positive for vimentin, but the rest were negative. After culturing NFs with conditioned medium of Cal27, we found α-SMA was partly strongly positive, FAP was strong positive and PDGFR-α was positive. qRT-PCR showed: compared with NFs, α-SMA, FAP mRNA expression in CAFs and CM-NFs was significantly higher, and PDGFR-α mRNA expression was significantly lowered. Conclusions:Oral squamous cell cancer cells can activate the NFs to CAFs, NFs likely to be a source of CAFs.
