项目摘要

To verify possible roles of oxygen radicals in carcinogenesis of liver cells in premature babies, oxygen-causing oxidative DNA damage and an antioxidant enzyme activity were examined in primary cultures of rat liver cells. After oxygen exposure, 8-OHdG was significantly accumulated in a time-dependent manner particularly in the medium of liver cells derived from newborn rats. Superoxide dismutase activity was significantly lower in liver cells of newborn rats, suggesting that it was responsible for oxidative DNA damages in liver cells of newborn rats. Next, it was examined whether oxidative stresses such as hyperoxia or hypoxia caused alterations in β-catenin gene or its expression in liver cells of newborn and fetal rats. An accumulation of β-catenin protein in the nuclei was also examined. However, no genomic alterations or nuclear accumulation of β-catenin were observed in cells exposed to oxidative stresses. Third, it was examined whether oxidative stresses affected the expression of genes relating to differentiation of liver cells in fetal rats. Liver cells derived from fetal rats (day 18) were exposed to hypoxia, hyperoxia, and hypoxia and hyperoxia, and the expression of α1-AT, HNF4, AFP, albumin were examined. The expression of AFP gene was decreased as the time of culture increased, however, this was not observed in liver cells exposed to oxidative stresses. The oxidative stresses might have caused an arrest of differentiation of developing liver cells or stimulated directly the expression of AFP gene. It was suggested that oxidative stress might be responsible for hepato-carcinogenesis by affecting the differentiation of premature liver cells.

为了验证氧自由基在早产儿肝细胞致癌中的可能作用，在大鼠肝细胞的原代培养物中检测了氧引起的氧化性DNA损伤和抗氧化酶活性。氧暴露后，8-OHdG显着积累的时间依赖性的方式，特别是在培养基中的肝细胞来源于新生大鼠。超氧化物歧化酶活性在新生大鼠肝细胞中明显降低，提示其与新生大鼠肝细胞DNA氧化损伤有关。接下来，检查氧化应激（例如高氧或缺氧）是否引起新生大鼠和胎鼠肝细胞中β-连环蛋白基因或其表达的改变。还检测了β-连环蛋白在细胞核中的积累。然而，在暴露于氧化应激的细胞中没有观察到β-连环蛋白的基因组改变或核积累。第三，研究了氧化应激是否影响与胎鼠肝细胞分化相关的基因表达。取胎鼠（18 d）肝细胞，分别置于缺氧、高氧、缺氧高氧条件下，检测α1-AT、HNF 4、AFP、白蛋白的表达。AFP基因表达随培养时间的延长而降低，但在氧化应激的肝细胞中未观察到这种变化。氧化应激可能导致发育中的肝细胞分化停滞或直接刺激AFP基因的表达。提示氧化应激可能通过影响未成熟肝细胞的分化而参与肝癌的发生。
