睾丸酮对大鼠前列腺上皮细胞有丝分裂方向的影响

目的探讨丙酸睾丸酮（T）对大鼠前列腺上皮细胞染色体有丝分裂方向的影响及其差异基因表达。方法 SPF级SD雄性大鼠（110~130 g）20只,随机分为2组。深麻醉下对所有大鼠进行去势手术,恢复一周后,给药组大鼠皮下注射T,每只0.5 mg,每日1次,连续30d;对照组大鼠皮下注射橄榄油0.1 mL。取前列腺。通过免疫组化、HE染色观察结果。并做基因芯片检查差异基因表达谱。结果给药组大鼠前列腺发生形态学增生。前列腺腺腔扩张,腺上皮高度明显增高,前列腺增生。且前列腺上皮细胞染色体有丝分裂的方向与基底膜平行,而对照组前列腺上皮细胞有丝分裂的方向与基底膜垂直。AR免疫组化染色后发现给药组的前列腺上皮中,均可见到AR标记的阳性细胞,而对照组均为阴性。基因芯片和RT-PCR结果：促进细胞增殖的基因如雄激素受体相关蛋白（RAN）、TGM4和Wnt通道的WNT2等基因均上调,而抑制细胞增殖的基因如负调控Wnt通道的DKK3和促进细胞凋亡的Fas等基因下调。结论 T注射后改变了前列腺上皮细胞有丝分裂的方向,Wnt和AR信号转导通路参与了细胞增殖和有丝分裂方向改变。

Effect of testosterone on mitotic orientation in rat prostate epithelial cells

Objective To investigate the effect of testosterone on mitotic orientation in rat prostate epithelial cells and the relative differential gene expression.Methods Twenty SPF male SD rats were divided into 2 groups at random and then subjected to castration.One group of rats was administrated with testosterone 3.7 mg daily for 30 days and the control group was only injected with olive oil.Microscopic analysis was performed using immunohistochemistry.Differential gene expression analysis was conducted by gene microarray and RT-PCR techniques.Results In the testosterone-adminis-trated group, there was a significant mitosis orientation parallel to the basement membrane.But in the control group, mito-sis orientation was oriented perpendicular to the basement membrane.Using the gene microarray and RT-PCR techniques, the cell proliferation genes such as Ran, Tgm4 and Wnt2 in Wnt signal pathway were up-regulated in the testosterone group.Conversely, suppressor cell proliferation genes such as Dkk3 and Fas were down-regulated.Conclusions Mitotic orientation of prostate epithelia cells is changed after testosterone administration.Wnt signal pathway and AR singling path-way also have an influence on the mitosis orientation and cell proliferation.
