Abstract:AIM: To study the expression of eukaryotic elongation factor 1A2 (eEF1A2) in the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and the effects of eEF1A2 over-expression on the biological behaviors of the HCC cells. ME-THODS: The expression of eEF1A2 at mRNA and protein levels in the HCC tissues and matched liver tissues from 62 HCC patients, and 20 normal liver tissues were detected by the methods of real-time PCR and immunohistochemical staining, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression of eEF1A2 in the HCC cells was also determined by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. The lentivirus containing eEF1A2 gene was constructed, and was used to infect the HCC cells with low eEF1A2 expression. The expression of eEF1A2 at mRNA and protein levels in the infected cells was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. The cell activity, cell cycle and mRNA expression of albumin were measured by MTT assay, DNA ploid analysis and real-time PCR, respectively.RESULTS: The mRNA expression levels and protein expression positive rates of eEF1A2 in the 62 cases of HCC tissues, were significantly higher than those of 62 matched liver tissues and 20 normal liver tissues (P<0.01). eEF1A2 mRNA and protein were highly expressed in SMMC-7721 cells and BEL-7402 cells, and expressed in SK-HEP-1 cells at low level. The expression of eEF1A2 at mRNA and protein levels in the SK-HEP-1 cells was significantly enhanced by infection of GV287-eEF1A2 expression lentivirus.Compared with negative control group (transfected with negative control lentivirus), the cell activity in eEF1A2 over-expression group (transfected with GV287-eEF1A2 expression lentivirus) was significantly enhanced, the mRNA expression of albumin was remarkably reduced, and the cells in G0/G1 phase were significantly decreased with increased percentage of the cells in S and G2/M phases.CONCLUSION: eEF1A2 is selectively over-expressed in human HCC cancer tissues. eEF1A2 might be a putative oncoprotein in HCC. eEF1A2 over-expression has noticeable effects on the HCC cell proliferation enhancement, differentiation inhibition, and cell cycle acceleration through the G0/G1 phase to S phase and G2/M phases.
