摘要目的 观察ECRG2基因对纺锤体检测点功能的影响.方法 利用基因敲除和免疫荧光染色技术观察ECRG2基因在细胞内的定位及生物学功能.结果 ECRG2基因在有丝分裂间期分布于中心体、有丝分裂期分布于着丝粒处,可能参与中心体复制和纺锤体检测点功能.siRNA技术敲除ECBG2基因细胞导致纺锤体检测点功能丧失,在nocodazole处理时无法阻断细胞于有丝分裂期而进入下一细胞周期,最终导致染色体不稳定性和非整倍体细胞出现.结论 ECRG2在纺锤体检测点中起重要作用,对确保染色体稳定性必不可少;ECRG2基因的缺失可能是肿瘤细胞染色体不稳定性和非整倍体细胞产生的重要原因.

abstractsObjective To investigate the role of ECRG2,a novel tumor suppressor gene,in spindle assembly checkpoint. Methods Using siRNA approach to deplete the expression of ECRG2, using immunofluorescence to test the distribution of ECRG2,using Western blotting to examine the expression cell cycle proteins.Results ECRG2 localized to centrosomes during interphase and kinetochores during mitosis.Further analysis revealed that ECRG2 participates in the spindle assembly checkpoint.Depletion of ECRG2 abolished the spindle assembly checkpoint.Conclusion Our results indicated that ECRG2 is important for ensuring spindle assembly checkpoint,accurate chromosome segregation,and its depletion may contribute to chmmosome instability and aneuploidy in human cancers.
