脂氧素对K562和HL-60白血病细胞增殖和凋亡的影响(英文)

炎症在肿瘤的发生发展过程中扮演重要角色,脂氧素是一类重要的内源性抗炎介质。但是迄今为止,脂氧素对肿瘤的影响报道极少。为此,本文研究了脂氧素对HL-60和K562白血病细胞增殖和凋亡的影响。体外培养白血病细胞株HL-60和K562,Western印迹和实时荧光定量PCR检测脂氧素受体的表达情况;CCK-8法(cell counting kit-8 assay)检测HL-60和K562的增殖能力;PI染色后利用流式细胞仪进行细胞周期分析;膜联蛋白V试剂盒检测脂氧素对细胞凋亡的影响。实验结果表明脂氧素抑制HL-60和K562白血病细胞增殖(P0.05);脂氧素处理组S期细胞比例明显减少而G_0/G_1期细胞比例增加;脂氧素还可以诱导HL-60和K562白血病细胞凋亡。由此可见,脂氧素抑制HL-60和K562白血病细胞增殖,其机制可能与诱导白血病细胞G_0/G_1期阻滞和细胞凋亡有关。     

选择性COX-2抑制剂celecoxib对K562细胞的增殖抑制、凋亡诱导作用和分子机制

环氧化酶(cyclooxygenase, COX)家系被显示与恶性肿瘤的增殖和凋亡耐受有关,COX-2可作为恶性肿瘤治疗和预防的重要分子靶标.应用COX-2特异抑制剂——celecoxib,观察了药物对人慢性粒细胞白血病急变细胞株——K562细胞的增殖抑制和凋亡诱导效应.结果证明,celecoxib能够有效地抑制K562细胞增殖(台盼蓝染色,MTT试验及集落形成抑制试验证实),并呈一定的剂量依赖性.Celecoxib抑制K562细胞增殖的IC₅₀为46 μmol/L.通过DNA ladder胶电泳和流式细胞仪检测,凋亡细胞的AO/EB染色等方法证明celecoxib能够诱导K562细胞凋亡,这一效应与Caspase-3蛋白表达上调和裂解激活有关,当阻断Caspase-3的活性,celecoxib诱导的K562细胞凋亡明显受抑.利用RT-PCR分析技术及蛋白质印迹,证明K562细胞存在COX-2 mRNA和COX-2蛋白表达;而且,K562细胞COX-2蛋白表达可被IL-1β诱导性刺激,从而确认K562细胞为COX-2表达阳性细胞;celecoxib在较高浓度(80～160μmol/L)既可抑制K562细胞COX-2 mRNA表达,也可下调COX-2蛋白质表达,提示celecoxib抗K562白血病细胞活性与COX-2的抑制相关,其抗白血病的分子机制部分涉及到COX-2依赖性途径.

Low Expression of miR-196b Enhances the Expression of BCR-ABL1 and HOXA9 Oncogenes in Chronic Myeloid Leukemogenesis

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can function as tumor suppressors or oncogene promoters during tumor development. In this study, low levels of expression of miR-196b were detected in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. Bisulfite genomic sequencing PCR and methylation-specific PCR were used to examine the methylation status of the CpG islands in the miR-196b promoter in K562 cells, patients with leukemia and healthy individuals. The CpG islands showed more methylation in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia compared with healthy individuals (P<0.05), which indicated that low expression of miR-196b may be associated with an increase in the methylation of CpG islands. The dual-luciferase reporter assay system demonstrated that BCR-ABL1 and HOXA9 are the target genes of miR-196b, which was consistent with predictions from bioinformatics software analyses. Further examination of cell function indicated that miR-196b acts to reduce BCR-ABL1 and HOXA9 protein levels, decrease cell proliferation rate and retard the cell cycle. A low level of expression of miR-196b can cause up-regulation of BCR-ABL1 and HOXA9 expression, which leads to the development of chronic myeloid leukemia. MiR-196b may represent an effective target for chronic myeloid leukemia therapy.     

Biosynthesis of glycosphingolipids by human myeloid leukemia cells

We have performed comparative studies of the neutral glycosphingolipids synthesized by three human myeloid leukemia cell lines, K562, KG1, and HL-60, which were metabolically labeled with [14C]galactose, to evaluate changes in neutral glycosphingolipid synthesis with myeloid cell differentiation. Individual neutral glycosphingolipids containing one to four sugars were purified by a combination of the following methods: diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex column chromatography, acetylation-Florisil column chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography using an Iatrobead column. Compounds with one sugar were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography on borate plates. This analysis showed that HL-60 cells synthesize only glucosylceramide, whereas K562 and KG1 cells synthesize predominately glucosylceramide, but also a small amount of galactosylceramide. Compounds with two to four sugars were characterized by treatment with exo- and endoglycosidases. The results showed that K562 and KG1 cells are similar to cells from patients with acute leukemia in expressing two series (globo and neolacto) of natural glycosphingolipids, whereas the HL-60 cells are similar to mature human myeloid cells in expressing only one series (neolacto). Therefore, human myeloid leukemia cells blocked at different stages of differentiation vary in their ability to synthesize neutral glycosphingolipids.     

Sphingomyelin synthase 1 activity is regulated by the BCR-ABL oncogene

Sphingomyelin synthase (SMS) produces sphingomyelin while consuming ceramide (a negative regulator of cell proliferation) and forming diacylglycerol (DAG) (a mitogenic factor). Therefore, enhanced SMS activity could favor cell proliferation. To examine if dysregulated SMS contributes to leukemogenesis, we measured SMS activity in several leukemic cell lines and found that it is highly elevated in K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells. The increased SMS in K562 cells was caused by the presence of Bcr-abl, a hallmark of CML; stable expression of Bcr-abl elevated SMS activity in HL-60 cells while inhibition of the tyrosine kinase activity of Bcr-abl with Imatinib mesylate decreased SMS activity in K562 cells. The increased SMS activity was the result of up-regulation of the Sms1 isoform. Inhibition of SMS activity with D609 (a pharmacological SMS inhibitor) or down-regulation of SMS1 expression by siRNA selectively inhibited the proliferation of Bcr-abl-positive cells. The inhibition was associated with an increased production of ceramide and a decreased production of DAG, conditions that antagonize cell proliferation. A similar change in lipid profile was also observed upon pharmacological inhibition of Bcr-abl (K526 cells) and siRNA-mediated down-regulation of BCR-ABL (HL-60/Bcr-abl cells). These findings indicate that Sms1 is a downstream target of Bcr-abl, involved in sustaining cell proliferation of Bcr-abl-positive cells.

Thymosin alpha1 suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis in human leukemia cell lines

Thymosin alpha1 (Talpha1), a 28-amino acid peptide, is a well-known immune system enhancer for the treatment of various diseases. In the present investigation, the effects of Talpha1 on the proliferation and apoptosis of human leukemia cell lines (HL-60, K562 and K562/ADM) were studied. The proliferation was significantly depressed after 96 h of treatment with Talpha1, and obvious signs of apoptosis, i.e., cell morphology, nuclei condensation and Annexin V binding, were observed thereafter. Moreover, the up-regulation of Fas/Apol (CD95) and decrease in bcl-2 anti-apoptotic gene expression were observed in apoptotic cells. The expression and the function of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) can be slightly inhibited by Talpha1. It is noteworthy that K562 and K562/ADM were more sensitive than HL-60 cells when subjected to Talpha1. Furthermore, HepG-2, the human hepatoma cell line, displayed significant less sensitivity to Talpha1 than all the human leukemia cell lines. D-Tubocurarine (TUB), a nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) antagonist, significantly antagonized the inhibition effects induced by Talpha1, whereas atropine, a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, did not exhibit such effects. All the results indicate that Talpha1 was able to significantly suppress proliferation and induce apoptosis in human leukemia cell lines.
