巢式MSP法检测恶性血液病细胞株p16基因启动子甲基化状态的研究

本研究应用改进的甲基化特异性PCR(MSP)法,即巢式甲基化特异性PCR法检测6种肿瘤细胞株p16基因启动子的甲基化状态效率,探讨其在筛选p16基因启动子高甲基化的肿瘤细胞株,及将其作为研究基因甲基化与表达关系的理想细胞模型中的应用。6种肿瘤细胞株基因组DNA经碱变性后以亚硫酸盐修饰,再用巢式甲基化特异性聚合酶链反应扩增,分析检测其p16启动子区CpG岛的甲基化状态。结果表明:CA46、U266都有不同程度的p16基因启动子区甲基化,而Molt4、K562、HL-60、Jurkat的p16基因启动子区均未甲基化。结论:用巢式甲基化特异性PCR可以准确的检测出恶性血液病细胞株p16基因的甲基化状态,方法简单,灵敏且重复性强,可以广泛用于筛选各种p16基因启动子区甲基化的恶性血液病细胞株以及恶性血液病诊断。

Expression of the B-Cell Lymphoma/Leukemia 11A Gene in Malignant Hematological Cell Lines through Quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction

The B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 11A （BCL11A） gene is essential for normal lymphoid development and has been associated with hematological malignancies. In the current study, the relative expression level of BCL11A in malignant hematological cell lines was evaluated through real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （qRT-PCR）. METHODS The relative expression level of BCLllA mRNA in malignant hematological cell lines was determined through qRT- PCR using SYBR Green I dye. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydro- genase was used as the reference gene to confirm the relative expression level of BCL11A gene mRNA. RESULTS The relative expression level of BCL11A mRNA in cell lines from B-cell malignancies was significantly higher compared with that from acute rnyeloid leukemia （P 〈 0.05）. Different cell lines with malignant B-cells exhibited a wide range of BCL11A expressions ranging from 27.37 to 93.38. CONCLUSION The overexpression of BCL11A gene mRNA in malignant B-cells might play a role in B-cell lymphoma/leukemia.
