目的：了解DNA依赖性蛋白激酶催化亚基（ DNA-PKcs）在电离辐射诱发细胞自噬中的作用。方法通过慢病毒载体（ pSicoR ）构建DNA-PKcs短发夹RNA （ shRNA ）表达载体，并转染HeLa细胞敲低DNA-PKcs表达。CCK-8实验检测细胞增殖活性及细胞放射敏感性，免疫印迹检测自噬相关蛋白表达，免疫荧光实验检测自噬标志物GFP-LC3的表达。结果成功构建shRNA敲低DNA-PKcs表达的HeLa细胞模型，通过该细胞模型观察到抑制DNA-PKcs蛋白表达导致细胞增殖能力降低、放射敏感性增高。 P62和LC3蛋白表达变化，以及细胞内绿色荧光蛋白（ GFP）-LC3免疫荧光斑检测结果显示，DNA-PKcs基因敲低后，明显增加X射线诱发细胞自噬。抑制DNA-PKcs导致哺乳动物西罗莫司（雷帕霉素）靶蛋白（ mTOR）第2481位丝氨酸磷酸化水平降低。结论抑制DNA-PKcs增强受照射宫颈癌HeLa细胞的自噬及放射敏感性，mTOR信号通路可能参与DNA-PKcs对自噬的调节作用。“,”Objective To investigate the effect of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) on autophagy induction by ionizing radiation ( IR ) .Methods The cell model of knocking-down DNA-PKcs expression was constructed by transfecting HeLa cells with a pSicoR-based lentivirus vector expressing DNA-PKcs specific shRNA .Cellular growth activity and radiosensitivity were detected by cell countingkit ( CCK)-8 assay.The expression of autophagy related proteins was detected by Western blotting hybridization .Autophagy was also detected by monitoring the autophagic marker green fluorescere protein ( GFP )-light chain 3 ( LC3 ) puncta per cell under an immunofluorescent microscope .Results A cellular model of knocking-down DNA-PKcs expression was successfully generated by transfecting the specific shRNA against DNA-PKcs.Depression of DNA-PKcs significantly decreased the growth activity of HeLa cells and increased the cellular sensitivity to ionizing radiation .Both the expression changes of P 62 and LC3 proteins and immunofluorescent GFP-LC3 puncta observation indicated that knocking-down DNA-PKcs prompted the induction of autophagy by ionizing radiation . Moreover, inactivation of DNA-PKcs led to a decreased phosphorylation of mammalian target of sirolimus ( Rapamycin, RAPA) ( mTOR) at S2481 site.Conclusion Depression of DNA-PKcs expression prompts the induction of autophagy by IR and cellular radiosensitivity .mTOR signaling may be involved in the regulation of autophagy processing by DNA-PKcs.
