核仁磷酸蛋白基因突变对K562白血病细胞分化的影响

核仁磷酸蛋白基因（nucleophosmin,NPM1）突变在急性髓系白血病的发生发展中发挥着重要作用,而与白血病分化阻滞的关系尚未完全阐明。为探讨NPM1基因突变对白血病细胞体外分化的影响,将携带NPM1 A型突变（NPM1-mA）的表达质粒载体pEGFPC1-NPM1-mA转染白血病K562细胞系,构建稳定表达NPM1-mA蛋白的细胞株（K562 mA）,同时设立野生型NPM1转染组（K562 wt）、空载体转染组（K562 C1）和未处理组（K562）为对照。利用豆蔻酰佛波醇乙酯（PMA）诱导各组细胞分化,瑞氏–吉姆萨染色观察细胞分化的形态改变,计算诱导分化率;相差显微镜计数贴壁细胞数量;流式细胞术分析细胞表面分化抗原CD41的表达。结果显示,PMA作用72 h后,与对照组相比,K562 mA组细胞的诱导分化率及贴壁细胞数明显降低（P〈0.05）;同时,CD41的表达受到显著抑制（P〈0.01）。提示NPM1基因突变能够阻滞白血病细胞系K562的体外分化。     

Evaluation of glycoconjugates on the K562 cell surface by means of lectin binding — comparison with human erythrocytes

The binding of five radiolabelled lectins (Vicia graminea, peanut,Phaseolus vulgaris isolectins E-PHA and L-PHA,Evonymus europaeus) to untreated and desialylated K562 cells and human erythrocytes was compared. The number of glycophorin A receptors recognized on the K562 cells by anti-blood group NV. graminea lectin was comparable to that found on the MN or NN erythrocyte surface. However, K562 cells had a severalfold higher number of oligosaccharide chains (presumablyO-glycosidic) which after desialylation became high-affinity receptors for peanut agglutinin, and of complex typeN-glycosidic chains available for the reaction with E-PHA and also with L-PHA (the latter lectin was not bound to erythrocytes). Moreover, K562 cells not treated with neuraminidase had a significant amount of extremely low affinity receptors for peanut agglutinin, whereas binding of this lectin to untreated erythrocytes was undetectable. On the other hand, the untreated K562 cells did not bind anti-blood group B and HE. europaeus lectin, but a small amount of binding by the desialylated cells was observed. Some other differences observed in the mode of lectin binding to K562 cells and erythrocytes are discussed.     

氯化高铁血红素诱导K562细胞红系分化对其细胞周期的影响

细胞周期的测量是细胞增殖动力学的研究基础。通过添加30μmol·L-1氯化高铁血红素(Hemin)诱导人慢性髓系白血病K562细胞红系分化,利用5-溴脱氧尿嘧啶核苷(BrdU)与7-AAD双染的方法检测Hemin诱导的K562红系分化细胞对细胞周期各期比例的影响,未诱导的K562细胞周期各期比例作为对照,检测发现Hemin诱导的K562红系分化细胞对其细胞周期相对值无明显影响。应用BrdU间隔染色结合流式细胞术的方法,通过分析BrdU间隔染色后BrdU阳性细胞群的动态变化规律,从而推算出K562红系分化细胞的倍增时间及细胞周期各期时长。根据测量结果发现,未诱导的K562细胞总倍增时间约为20 h,与通过生长曲线公式法计算倍增时间的结果相符,Hemin诱导的K562细胞的细胞周期倍增时长约为23 h。Hemin诱导的K562红系分化细胞较未诱导的K562细胞倍增时间与各期时长无明显差异。因此,Hemin诱导K562细胞红系分化对其细胞周期绝对值及相对值均无明显影响。     

IL-3和羟基脲协同诱导K562细胞凋亡

本文应用流式细胞分选仪和电子显微镜研究了IL-3和羟基脲对人红白血病细胞株(K562细胞)凋亡的影响.结果显示IL-3和羟基脲分别诱导K562细胞,不能引起细胞凋亡;而IL-3和羟基脲协同诱导K562细胞,可以引起细胞凋亡.用流式细胞仪检测到IL-3和羟基脲协同诱导K562细胞后,DNA含量低于二倍体的细胞数达31.90%,并产生明显的凋亡小峰.同时,IL-3和羟基脲协同诱导K562细胞,可抑制细胞周期中的S期,阻止细胞从S期进入G2/M期,使细胞周期延长,对K562细胞的生长和增殖具有抑制作用.在电镜下可观察到IL-3和羟基脲协同诱导的K562细胞,出现典型的凋亡细胞形态,细胞核内染色质浓缩、凝聚,紧靠在核膜边沿,形成新月形或环状的染色质结构,产生凋亡小体.提示IL-3和羟基脲具有协同效应,IL-3可提高K562细胞对羟基脲的敏感性,并可协同羟基脲诱导K562细胞凋亡.     

Apoptosis induced by 3,7-dinitrodibenzobromonium salts in K562 cells

We evaluated the inhibitory effect of 3,7-dini-trodibenzobromonium salts (cBr) on the proliferation of human chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cell by trypan blue exclusion test and MTT colorimetric assay.The degree of DNA damage in K562 cells treated with cBr,was detected by isotopic tracer method (3H-TdR).The morphological changes of these K562 cells were examined by fluorescence and electron microscopy.Biochemical characteristics of K562 cells were detected by flow cytome-try and 3H-thymidine incorporation assay.Findings indi-cated that cBr could significantly inhibit cell proliferation and result in DNA damage of K562 cells,cBr is a new type of immunostimulant and can induce cell apoptosis.     

低浓度丰加霉素对人白血病K562细胞集落形成抑制作用的机制研究

目的初步探讨低浓度丰加霉素对人白血病K562细胞集落形成抑制作用的机制。方法甲基纤维素集落形成实验检测低浓度丰加霉素对人白血病K562细胞集落形成能力的影响;CCK-8法检测低浓度丰加霉素对K562细胞的生长抑制率;AnnexinV／PI双染流式细胞仪检测低浓度丰加霉素作用下的K562细胞凋亡率;PI单染流式细胞仪检测药物作用后细胞的周期分布改变;Western免疫印迹和实时定量PCR检测周期相关分子表达水平变化。结果低浓度丰加霉素对人白血病K562细胞具有较强的集落形成抑制作用;可明显抑制K562细胞的生长,呈时间一剂量依赖性;尽管短时间（48h）的药物处理仅出现轻度的细胞凋亡和周期阻滞,但10nmol/L和30nmol/L的丰加霉素长时间（7d）作用后,K562细胞G0／G1期比例分别是（62．3±1．7）％和（76．9±0．7）％,与对照组（38．9±1．1）％相比差异具有高度统计学意义（P〈0．01）;低浓度丰加霉素长时间作用后诱导K562细胞周期相关分子P16蛋白水平和转录水平的高表达。结论丰加霉素在低浓度,长时间作用于人白血病K562细胞后,具有较强的集落形成抑制和生长抑制作用,此作用可能与诱导细胞周期相关分子p16高表达,导致细胞G0／G1期阻滞有关。     

敲除LSD1基因对人慢性髓系白血病K562细胞周期的影响

为了探讨敲除LSD1基因后抑制人慢性髓系白血病 K562细胞增殖的原因,使用前期CRISPR/Cas9技术构建的人慢性髓系白血病 K562 LSD1基因敲除株,通过细胞凋亡Annexin V/PI（碘化丙啶）双染色、细胞PI染色以及流式细胞术技术,探究敲除LSD1基因后,K562细胞的凋亡水平是否改变,细胞周期是否受到影响。结果表明敲除LSD1基因后K562细胞被阻滞在G0/G1期,进入DNA复制期的细胞变少,因此导致细胞增殖速度减慢;通过细胞凋亡Annexin V/PI双染色并分析早期以及晚期凋亡细胞总比例,显示敲除LSD1基因后,不影响K562细胞的凋亡。研究结果表明,敲除LSD1基因后人慢性髓系白血病 K562细胞的增殖受到抑制,这是由于K562细胞增殖周期发生了改变,进入DNA复制期和分裂期的细胞减少;而与细胞凋亡水平的变化无关。     

Natural killer cells in human colostrum

The presence of natural killer cells in human colostrum was disclosed with the use of a fluorochrome-labeled monoclonal antibody HNK-1 (Leu-7) that recognizes cells with natural killer and killer activity. Approximately 0.5% of total colostral cells were stained with this reagent. These cells were separated by the fluorescence-activated cell sorter and examined for their morphology by electron microscopy and for their cytotoxic activity against 51Cr-labeled K562 target cells. Two morphological types of natural killer cells were observed in colostrum: the first was represented by large cells with numerous vacuoles but without dense cytoplasmic granules; the second type, which occurred with lower frequency, resembled the large granular lymphocytes associated with natural killer activity in peripheral blood. The HNK-1-positive cells from colostrum displayed low cytotoxic activity against K562 target cells. Incubation of HNK-1-positive cells from peripheral blood with cell-free colostrum resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of the cytotoxic activity. The functional changes were accompanied by morphological alterations which included degranulation and the formation of numerous vacuoles. The variances in the cytotoxic activity of peripheral blood HNK-1-positive cells suspended in different dilutions of colostrum suggest that this fluid contains humoral factors which modify morphology and function depending on their concentrations.

Initial function analysis of a novel erythroid differentiation related geneEDRF1

Erythroid differentiation depends on the establishment of specific patterns of gene expression. Hypersensitive site 2 (HS2, serving as a major enhancer of globin genes)-binding proteins may be involved in its natural open chromosomal environment formation. Previously we prepared monoclonal antibodies against HS2-binding nuclear proteins of terminal differentiated erythroid cells. By utilizing the monoclonal antibodies, we screened λ-gt11 human fetal liver cDNA expression library and obtained one cDNA clone, which was named erythroid differentiation related gene (EDRF1, Genbank accession number AF040247), encompassing an entire open reading frame. We investigated the expression pattern ofEDRF1 by RT-PCR technique. And a clue to the function ofEDRF1 has been found from confirmation of high levels ofEDRF1 mRNA in differentiated K562 and human fetal liver tissue. To illuminate the function ofEDRF1 in K562 cells, sense and antisenseEDRF1 constructs were prepared and transfected into K562 cells. α-globin mRNA was down-regulated and EpoR (erythropoietin receptor) mRNA expression was increased in antisense transfected cells. Cells transfected with sense construct grew more slowly than control cells suggested by [³H] thimidine incorporation experiments. Suppression of K562 proliferation was accompanied by increased spontaneous hemoglobin synthesis demonstrated by spectrometry. K562 cells transfected with sense construct exhibited reduced clongenicity compared with control cells in methycellulose culture. These data provided the evidence thatEDRF1 can influence globin expression and hemoglobin synthesis in K562 cells and modulated self-renewal in K562 cells.

The autonomous notch signal pathway is activated by baicalin and baicalein but is suppressed by niclosamide in K562 cells

The Notch signaling pathway plays important roles in a variety of cellular processes. Aberrant transduction of Notch signaling contributes to many diseases and cancers in humans. The Notch receptor intracellular domain, the activated form of Notch receptor, is extremely difficult to detect in normal cells. However, it can activate signaling at very low protein concentration to elicit its biological effects. In the present study, a cell based luciferase reporter gene assay was established in K562 cells to screen drugs which could modulate the endogenous CBF1‐dependent Notch signal pathway. Using this system, we found that the luciferase activity of CBF1‐dependent reporter gene was activated by baicalin and baicalein but suppressed by niclosamide in both dose‐ and time‐dependent manners. Treatment with these drugs modulated endogenous Notch signaling and affected mRNA expression levels of Notch1 receptor and Notch target genes in K562 cells. Additionally, erythroid differentiation of K562 cells was suppressed by baicalin and baicalein yet was promoted by niclosamide. Colony‐forming ability in soft agar was decreased after treatment with baicalin and baicalein, but was not affected in the presence of niclosamide. Thus, modulation of Notch signaling after treatment with any of these three drugs may affect tumorigenesis of K562 cells suggesting that these drugs may have therapeutic potential for those tumors associated with Notch signaling. Taken together, this system could be beneficial for screening of drugs with potential to treat Notch signal pathway‐associated diseases. J. Cell.

Adriamycin resistance is characterized by ultrastructural changes in human leukaemic K562 cells in vitro.

Ultrastructural changes associated with adriamycin (ADM) resistance have been investigated in the human K562 leukaemic cell line: sensitive K562 cells, a resistant subline cultured in the continuous presence of ADM and resistant cells without ADM Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study revealed that K562-resistant cells displayed ultrastructural modifications of the cell surface, chromatin and nucleolus conformation. Alterations were not directly related to the presence of adriamycin as deprivated cells exhibited modificated characters through a slow progressive recovery phenomenon.     

Expression of epidermal-growth-factor receptor in the K562 cell line by transfection. Altered receptor biochemistry.

The epidermal-growth-factor (EGF) receptor was expressed in the human erythroleukaemic cell line K562 by transfection of the receptor cDNA. EGF-receptor biochemistry appears altered in the K562 transfectants. Autophosphorylation of the K562 receptor is not stimulated substantially by EGF. Tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor is high in the absence of EGF, whereas receptor affinity for EGF is low. K562 cells are shown to lack mRNA for transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha). Therefore autocrine stimulation of the K562 receptor, at least by TGF alpha, does not explain the observed receptor biochemistry. The K562 receptor is phosphorylated at a single major site in intact cells, a threonine residue that may be Thr-669. Possible mechanisms of regulation of the EGF receptor in the K562 transfectants are discussed.     

siRNA分析nm23-H1基因与人慢性髓性白血病的关系

设计并筛选靶向nm23-H1基因的siRNAs序列,探讨nm23-H1基因与人慢性髓性白血病之间的关系。依据siRNA设计原则,设计3条siRNA序列。将不同靶点的siRNA用lipofectamine2000转染人慢性髓性白血病细胞株K562。转染后24h RTPCR检测nm23-H1mRNA水平变化;转染后48h免疫细胞化学法检测nm23-H1蛋白表达。MTT法检测转染后24h、48h和72h有效siRNA对K562细胞生长的影响。3条siRNA中,siNM526能有效地抑制K562细胞nm23-H1基因表达,转染siNM526的K56细胞生长受到抑制。说明下调nm23-H1基因的表达有抑制K562细胞增殖的作用,即降低了K562细胞的恶性程度。nm23-H基因有可能成为白血病治疗潜在的分子靶点。     

Non-transferrin iron reduction and uptake are regulated by transmembrane ascorbate cycling in K562 cells

K562 erythroleukemia cells import non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) by an incompletely understood process that requires initial iron reduction. The mechanism of NTBI ferrireduction remains unknown but probably involves transplasma membrane electron transport. We here provide evidence for a novel mechanism of NTBI reduction and uptake by K562 cells that utilizes transplasma membrane ascorbate cycling. Incubation of cells with dehydroascorbic acid, but not ascorbate, resulted in (i) accumulation of intracellular ascorbate that was blocked by the glucose transporter inhibitor, cytochalasin B, and (ii) subsequent release of micromolar concentrations of ascorbate into the external medium via a route that was sensitive to the anion channel inhibitor, 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate. Ascorbate-deficient control cells demonstrated low levels of ferric citrate reduction. However, incubation of the cells with dehydroascorbic acid resulted in a dose-dependent stimulation of both iron reduction and uptake from radiolabeled [(55)Fe]ferric citrate. This stimulation was abrogated by ascorbate oxidase treatment, suggesting dependence on direct chemical reduction by ascorbate. These results support a novel model of NTBI reduction and uptake by K562 cells in which uptake is preceded by reduction of iron by extracellular ascorbate, the latter of which is subsequently regenerated by transplasma membrane ascorbate cycling.
