摘要：Objective Epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT)plays a very important role in ovarian cancer metastasis,and IL-8 released from mechanosensitive cancer cells may contribute to the EMT process of solid carcinomas.In this study,we have explored IL-8 and its receptors signal transduction process of human ovarian cancer cells under conditions of FSS,and simultaneously detected the EMT process of ovarian cancer.Methods After the fluid shear stress was loaded,LightCyclerTM system and ELISA were employed to assay the IL-8 mRNA expression and protein production,respectively.Meanwhile,IL-8 reporter gene pEGFP1-IL8USCS was constructed for determining IL-8 gene transcriptional activation through gene transfer and flow cytometric analysis.RT-PCR,Northern blot and immunofluorescence were used to determine the expression of IL-8 receptor CXCR2 at mRNA and protein levels.IL-8 downstream signaling molecule NF-κB nuclear translocation was observed by immunocytofluoresent staining.Western blot was used to examine IκB phosphorylation and EMT-related protein.Results(1)The increase of IL-8 mRNA expression by shear stress was time-dependent.The expression increased when SKOV3 cells exposed to fluid shear stress for 1 h,reached the summits at 2 h,gradually decreased at 3 h and remained at a constant level at 4~12 h.Additionally,IL-8 expression was negatively associated with the intensity of shear stress.After SKOV3 cells were exposed to low fluid shear stress(1.5 dyne/cm2)for 1 h and 2 h,IL-8 mRNA expression increased near 68 and 52 times respectively as that of SKOV3 cells exposed to a high fluid shear stress of 5.0 dyne/cm~2.(2)The productions of IL-8 protein in SKOV3 cells subjected to shear stress were time-dependent.The secretion reached the summit when SKOV3 cells exposed to fluid shear stress for 5 h,then IL-8 secretion gradually decreased at 8 h of stimulation by shear stress.IL-8 secretion increased obviously when fluid shear stress(0.5,1.5,or 2.0 dyne/cm2)was exerted on SKOV3 cells for 1 h.Notablely,the secretion of IL-8 wa
