白细胞介素-24 delE5对人类白血病细胞系K562的抑制作用

 目的　探索白细胞介素（IL）-24 delE5对人类白血病细胞系K562的抑制作用。方法　用TPA诱导白血病细胞系U937和HL-60向单核-巨噬细胞分化后，检测mda-7／IL-24及其选择性剪接体IL-24 delE5的表达。构建IL-24 delE5真核表达载体，稳定转染K562细胞。通过MTT法、集落形成实验、流式细胞术、Annexin-Ⅴ／PI检测及动物实验，观察IL-24 delE5对K562细胞增殖、集落形成、细胞周期、凋亡及体内致瘤性的影响；同时与mda-7／IL-24进行比较。结果　在TPA诱导分化的U937和HL-60细胞中发现IL-24 delE5的表达。稳定转染IL-24 delE5的K562增殖及集落形成明显下降，与空载体相比，G0／G1期细胞比例由（24.46±3.99）%增至（42.69±3.04）%，细胞周期阻滞于G0／G1期，体内实验证实K562细胞移植瘤生长明显被抑制。与mda-7／IL-24相比，上述各实验结果差异均无统计学意义。结论　IL-24 delE5与mda-7／IL-24一样对人类白血病细胞系K562具有明显的体内外抑制作用，该作用可能与IL-24 delE5所引起细胞周期G0／G1期阻滞有关。

Effects of IL-24 delE5 on human leukemia cell line K562

Objective To investigate the antitumor activity of IL-24 delE5 in human leukemia cell line K562. Methods The expression of mda-7/IL-24 and its splice variant induced by TPA in leukemic cell lines, U937 and HL-60, was evaluated. The effects of IL-24 delE5 in K562 on cell proliferation, colony-forming ability, cell cycle, apoptosis, and tumor growth in vivo by using MTr assay, colony forming assay, flow cytometry, Annexin-V/PI and tumor xenograft models in nude mice were assessed. Meantime, the effects of IL-24 delE-5 and mda-7/IL-2A were compared. Results The expression of IL-24 dciE5 was detected in differentiated U937 and HL-60 cells. Transfection with IL-24 delE5 significantly reduced tumor cell viability, inhibited colony formation. Comparing with the control, G_0/G_1 stage add from (24.46±3.99) % to (42.69±3.04) %, caused cell cycle arrest in G_0/G_1 stage and significantly inhibited the growth of K562 transplantation tumor. No significant differences in the aforementioned antileukemia characteristics between IL-24 delE5 and mda-7/IL-24 was found. Conclusion Similar with mda-7/IL-24, IL-24 delE5 can efficiently inhibit the proliferation of K562 in vitro and in vivo, probably through induction of G_0/G_1 cell cycle arrest.
