JTV1对K562细胞增殖和凋亡的影响及其机制

Effect of JTV1 gene on the proliferation and apoptosis of K562 cells and its mechanism

目的观察上调JTV1基因的表达对人白血病K562细胞系增殖与凋亡的影响并探讨其机制。方法将携带有JTV1基因的pcDNA3.1-JTV1载体转染人K562细胞作为阳性转染组,转染pcDNA3.1空载体作为空载体转染组,未转染的K562细胞为未转染组。通过集落形成实验检测各组K562细胞的增殖能力,采用流式细胞术与Annexin-PI双染色结合分析细胞周期和细胞凋亡率,同时采用RT-PCR法检测JTV1基因及凋亡相关基因Bcl-2、Bax、C-myc mRNA水平的变化,采用Western blotting检测基因JTV1及凋亡相关基因Bcl-2、Bax、C-myc蛋白水平的变化。结果集落形成实验结果显示上调JTV1基因表达后K562细胞的增殖能力明显降低。流式细胞术与Annexin-PI双染色检测结果显示,与空载体转染组及未转染组相比,阳性转染组K562细胞的G期细胞比例明显升高(P<0.05);阳性转染组中Bax基因的mRNA水平和蛋白水平较空载体转染组及未转染组均明显上升,而Bcl-2基因和C-myc基因的mRNA水平和蛋白水平则明显下调(P<0.05)。结论 JTV1基因过表达可能通过抑制基因Bcl-2和C-myc的表达增强基因Bax的表达,从而抑制K562细胞系的增殖并促进其凋亡。

Objective To investigate the effect of tumor-suppressing gene JTV1 on proliferation and apoptosis of leukemic K562 cells,and the changes in apoptosis factors Bcl-2,C-myc and Bax genes.Methods The recombinate vector pcDNA3.1-JTV1,and the empty vector pcDNA3.1 were transfected into K562 cells as control.The cell proliferation of K562 cells was evaluated by colony formation assay;the cell cycle and apoptosis rate were assessed by flow cytometry（FCM）;the mRNA levels of apoptosis related genes Bax,Bcl-2 and C-myc were determined by RT-PCR;the protein levels of Bax,Bcl-2 and C-myc were assayed by Western Blotting.Results The colony formation assay showed that the proliferation of K562 cells decreased when the expression of JTV1 gene was up-regulated.FCM assay showed that the G phase cells in pcDNA3.1-JTV1 positive transfection group increased compared with that of the control group and the pcDNA3.1 empty vector transfected group,and the differences were statistically significant（P〈0.05）.Compared with the control group and the empty vector group,the mRNA transcription level and the protein translation level of Bax gene increased significantly,and the mRNA transcription level and the protein translation level of Bcl-2 and C-myc gene were reduced significantly（P〈0.05）.Conclusions The expressions of Bcl-2 and C-myc gene are inhibited when the gene JTV1 is up-regulated,leading to an increase in Bax gene expression,inhibition of K562 cell proliferation,and promotion of tumor cells apoptosis.Over expression of JTV1 gene can inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells and promote cell apoptosis by inhibiting Bcl-2 and C-myc expression and up-regulating that of Bax.
