摘要:

目的: 探讨脂肪酸结合蛋白6(fatty acid binding protein 6,FABP6)基因长转录本在肾透明细胞癌(clear cell renal cell carcinoma,ccRCC)中的表达情况及其与肿瘤生物学行为的关系,进一步分析其作为潜在生物标志物和治疗靶点的可能性。方法: 通过基因表达汇编(Gene Expression Omnibus,GEO)和癌症基因组图谱(The Cancer Genome Atlas,TCGA)数据库进行生物信息学分析后,筛选得到与ccRCC发生发展和预后相关的FABP6基因,并通过实验进一步确认其长短转录本的存在情况及表达模式。利用实时荧光定量逆转录PCR(reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR,RT-qPCR)和蛋白免疫印迹实验检测FABP6基因长短转录本在ccRCC细胞系和组织样本中的表达水平差异。构建FABP6基因长转录本过表达和敲低的ccRCC细胞系,并分别通过5-乙炔基-2’-脱氧尿苷(5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine, EdU)增殖实验和克隆形成实验,评估FABP6基因长转录本对ccRCC细胞增殖能力的影响。结果: 生物信息学数据库分析显示,FABP6基因在ccRCC细胞系和组织样本中的表达高于其正常对照细胞和组织样本(P=0.02),并且其长转录本为主要表达形式(P=0.02)。RT-qPCR和蛋白免疫印迹实验结果进一步证实,FABP6基因长转录本在ccRCC细胞系769P、A498、CAKI1、OSRC2、786O等中的表达水平高于短转录本。体外功能实验中,过表达FABP6基因长转录本促进ccRCC细胞的增殖能力;相反,敲低FABP6基因长转录本显著抑制ccRCC细胞的增殖能力,提示FABP6基因长转录本可能通过驱动细胞周期进程或调控相关增殖信号通路,在ccRCC的发生发展中扮演了癌基因样的促进作用。结论: 系统报道了FABP6基因长转录本在ccRCC中特异性高表达,并通过功能增益和功能缺失实验证实了其促进ccRCC细胞增殖的关键作用,揭示了FABP6基因,尤其是其长转录本在ccRCC恶性进展中的重要新功能。

Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the expression of the fatty acid binding protein 6 (FABP6) long transcript in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), its correlation with tumor biological behavior, and further analyze its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target. Methods: Following bioinformatics analysis of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases, the FABP6 gene associated with ccRCC development and prognosis was screened. The existence and expression patterns of FABP6 long and short transcripts were further confirmed experimentally. In the experimental section, reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot were used to detect the differential expression levels of the FABP6 long and short transcripts in ccRCC cell lines and tissue samples. ccRCC cell lines with overexpression and knockdown of the FABP6 long transcript were constructed. The impact of the FABP6 long transcript on the proliferation capacity of ccRCC cells was assessed using the 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine proliferation assay and the colony formation assay, respectively. Results: Bioinformatics database analysis revealed that the expression of the FABP6 gene was higher in ccRCC cell lines and tissue samples compared with their normal counterparts (P=0.02), with FABP6 long transcript being the predominant form (P=0.02). RT-qPCR and Western blot results further confirmed that the expression level of the FABP6 long transcript was higher than that of the FABP6 short transcript in ccRCC cell lines such as 769P, A498, CAKI1, OSRC2, and 786O. In in vitro functional experiments, overexpression of the FABP6 long transcript promoted the proliferation of ccRCC cells. Conversely, knockdown of the FABP6 long transcript significantly inhibited the proliferation of ccRCC cells. This suggested that the FABP6 long transcript might play an oncogenic role in the development and progression of ccRCC, potentially by driving cell cycle progression or regulating related proli-ferative signaling pathways. Conclusion: This study systematically reports the specific high expression of the FABP6 long transcript in ccRCC. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments confirmed its crucial role in promoting ccRCC cell proliferation. This reveals an important new function of the FABP6 gene, particularly FABP6 long transcript, in the malignant progression of ccRCC.
