SeO2诱导白血病细胞凋亡及对凋亡相关基因Bcl-2和p53表达调控的影响

目的：研究SeO2对急性早幼粒细胞白血病细胞株NB4、红白血病细胞K562、急性粒细胞白血病细胞株HL-60的增生、凋亡及Bcl-2和p53表达水平的影响。方法:采用流式细胞术测定细胞的凋亡率及Bcl-2和p53的表达。结果:10和30mmol／L SeO2能抑制3种细胞增生。30mmol／L SeO2作用48h能使54．0％的NB4细胞、46．5％的K562细胞和49．6％的HL-60细胞发生凋亡；能使NB4和K562细胞Bcl-2表达显著下降、促进p53的表达。结论:SeO2对3种白血病细胞均有诱导凋亡作用，在凋亡过程中涉及了细胞内凋亡相关基因Bcl-2和p53表达和调控。

Apoptosis and regulation of expressions of apoptosis-related gene Bcl-2 and p53 induced by selenium dioxide in three leukemia cell lines]

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanisms underlying the effect of selenium dioxide (SeO(2)) on the proliferation, apoptosis, and apoptosis-related gene expressions of Bcl-2 and p53 in 3 leukemia cell lines NB4, K562 and HL-60. METHODS: The three leukemia cell lines were treated with 3, 10 and 30 mmol/L SeO(2) and apoptosis detected by flow cytometry and analysis of p53 and Bcl-2 expressions. RESULTS: SeO(2) at 10 and 30 mmol/L could inhibit the proliferation of three leukemia cell lines. SeO(2) treatment at 30 mmol/L for 48 h induced an apoptosis rate of 54.0 %, 46.5 %, 49.6 % in NB4, K562, and HL-60 cells respectively, and down-regulated Bcl-2 expression in NB4 and K562 but not in HL-60 cells. CONCLUSION: SeO(2) can induce apoptosis in NB4, K562 and HL-60 leukemia cells, involving the down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation of p53.
