三氧化二砷对淋巴瘤T2细胞株SHP-1基因的去甲基化作用

背景与目的:去甲基化作用可能是三氧化二砷(arsenic trioxide,As2O3)对抗造血系统恶性肿瘤的另一种机制.本研究探讨As2O3对淋巴瘤细胞系T2细胞中抑癌基因酪氨酸磷酸酶(SH2-containinphosphatase-1,SHP-1)的去甲基化作用及对T2细胞生长增殖的生物学影响.方法:T2细胞以As2O3或5-氮杂胞苷(5-aza-2'-deoxyoytidine,5-AC)单独处理,或两药联合处理.采用甲基化特异性PCR、荧光定量PCR和Western检测As2O3处理前后SHP-1基因启动子过甲基化及其mRNA和蛋白表达状况、c-kit蛋白表达变化.MTT法检测细胞存活率.流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡率.结果:As2O3能逆转SHP-1基因启动子甲基化,使T2细胞SHP-1 mRNA和蛋白重新表达,同时c-kit蛋白表达呈下降趋势;As2O3明显抑制T2细胞的增殖,随浓度增加及作用时间延长,其增殖抑制效应增加(P<0.05);2.5μmol/L浓度的As2O3作用T2细胞t,2,3d细胞增殖抑制率(9.8%,20.3%,47.5%)明显低于联合作用组(11.0%,36.7%.61.0%).As2O3可使T2细胞凋亡率增加,且随作用时间延长和浓度增加,凋亡细胞逐渐增多(P<0.05),联合作用组细胞凋亡率(1 d:17.3%;2 d:37.9%;3 d:67.9%)明显高于2.5 μmol/L As2O3单独作用组(6.1%,26.5%,50.9%).结论:As2O3能去除T2细胞中SHP-1基因甲基化,使其重新表达,并可能通过抑制c-kit受体及其信号转导路径的活化而抑制肿瘤细胞增殖,并诱导细胞凋亡.

Effect of As_2O_3 on demethylation of SHP-1 gene in human lymphoma cell line T2

Background and Objective:Inducing gene demethylation may be a mechanism of arsenic trioxide(As2O3) in treating hematologic cancers.This study was to investigate the effect of As2O3 on demethylation of SH2-containing phosphatase-1(SHP-1) in human lymphoma cell line T2 and on the proliferation of T2 cells.Methods:T2 cells were treated with As2O3 and 5-aza-2'-deoxyoytidine(5-AC) alone or in combination.The methylation of SHP-1 in T2 cells was detected by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction(MSP).The ...
