CD44基因沉默对K562/A02细胞逆转耐药及生物学活性的研究

本研究旨在探讨CD44基因表达抑制对白血病多药耐药细胞株K562/A02耐药性及生物学活性的影响。根据CD44基因表达序列设计有效的RNA干扰片段,将其插入质粒表达载体中,获得针对CD44mRNA的特异性siRNA真核质粒(pGCsiRNA-CD44),转染K562/A02细胞。用实时荧光定量RT-PCR检测K562/A02细胞CD44、mdr-1和bcl-2mRNA的表达;用MTT法检测阿霉素对K562/A02细胞的半数抑制浓度(IC50);流式细胞术(FACS)检测细胞周期;Hochest33258染色荧光显微镜观察细胞凋亡的形态学变化。结果表明:针对CD44基因的siRNA真核质粒可有效沉默K562/A02细胞的CD44基因:与对照组相比,转染了4条pGCsiRNA-CD44质粒的K562/A02细胞CD44表达均明显受抑,以转染了siCD44-1的细胞中抑制最强。转染pGCsiRNA-CD44质粒48小时后,K562/A02细胞CD44mRNA表达水平下降64.1%(p0.05),同时mdr-1与bcl-2mRNA的表达量较对照组分别下降了25.6%与50.8%;K562/A02细胞IC50为(17.97±1.61)μg/ml,无义序列质粒转染后阿霉素对K562/A02细胞的IC50为(16.95±1.72)μg/ml,pGCsiRNA-CD44转染后IC50明显降低为(8.77±1.63)μg/ml(p0.01)。转染48小时后,G0/G1期细胞比例提高了10.7%;细胞出现核固缩、核边集、凋亡小体等改变。结论:特异性CD44siRNA可显著抑制K562/A02细胞CD44基因的表达,抑制细胞增殖,诱导其凋亡,并有效逆转K562/A02细胞的多药耐药性。

Effect of CD44 Gene Silence on Multi-drug Resistance Reversal and Biologic Activity in K562/A02 Cells

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of CD44 gene silence on the drug resistance and biologic activity of human multidrug resistant leukemia cell line K562/A02.The oligonucleotides of CD44 gene were designed according to related data of GenBank,double-stranded DNA was produced by annealing,and was inserted into pGCsilencerU6/Neo/GFP vector.The resultant recombinant plasmid pGCsiRNA-CD44 was transfected into K562/A02 cell line.Expressions of CD44,mdr-1 and blc-2 mRNA were assayed by real time RT-PC...
