全反式维甲酸诱导白血病细胞分化对brd7基因表达的影响

为了探讨brd7基因与白血病细胞分化的关系及其在白血病细胞分化中的作用,本研究采用全反式维甲酸(ATRA)诱导HL-60和K562细胞系分化,通过Wright-Giema染色在显微镜下观察细胞形态学变化,应用流式细胞术分析细胞分化抗原CD11b的表达,以鉴定细胞分化程度,并在此基础上通过Western blot检测brd7基因在诱导分化前和细胞分化过程中蛋白表达水平的变化。结果发现,ATRA具有抑制HL-60细胞生长的作用,并可诱导HL-60细胞向粒系分化,在ATRA诱导细胞分化过程中HL-60细胞表面CD11b的表达水平逐渐上调,BRD7蛋白表达随着HL-60细胞的分化而增加;ATRA对K562细胞无诱导分化作用,brd7的表达也无明显变化。结论:随着HL-60细胞的分化,brd7基因表达上调,其机制有待进一步阐明。

The Effect of ATRA-induced Leukemic Cell Differentiation on Brd7 Gene Expression in Leukemia Cell Lines

This study was purposed to investigate the relationship between brd7 gene and differentiation of leukemia cells and the role of brd7 gene in differentiation of leukemia cells. The HL-60 and K562 cell lines were induced by all- trans retinoic acid （ATRA） for 7 days, then the cell morphologic change was observed under inverted microscope with Wright-CJiema staining, the expression level of CD1 lb was detected by flow cytometry for evaluating cell differentiation level, the expression changes of BRD7 protein before inducing differentiation and in proccss of cell differentiation were determined by Western blot. The results showed that ATRA could inhibit the proliferation and induce differentiation of HL-60 cells, but no differentiation in K562 cells was induced by ATRA. The level of CDllb expression in HL-60 cells was up-regulated gradually during ATRA-induced cell differentiation. The expression of BRD7 protein increased markedly along with differentiation of HL-60 cells towards granulocytes. However, BRD7 protein did not significantly alter in K562 cells in which inducing differentiation was not found. It is concluded that brd7 gene expression enchances as the HL-60 cells differentiate, underlying which the mechanism remains to clarify.
