目的研究应用载体表达短发夹 RNA(short hairpin RNA,shRNA)干扰技术抑制人 T 淋巴细胞白血病细胞株 Jurkat 细胞 survivin 基因的表达,探讨 survivin 基因表达缄默对 Jurkat 细胞凋亡和增殖的影响。方法构建针对 survivin 基因的 shRNA 重组质粒并转染至 Jurkat 细胞,分别用多重 PCR和 Western blot 法检测瞬时转染和稳定转染细胞 survivin 基因 mRNA 和蛋白表达水平的变化;流式细胞术检测瞬时转染和稳定转染细胞凋亡指数的变化,绘制细胞生长曲线,探讨 survivin shRNA 转染对细胞生长和增殖的影响。结果多重 PCR 结果示与无功能(对照组)shRNA 处理组和磷酸盐缓冲液处理组比较,survivin shRNA 瞬时转染和稳定转染细胞 surivivin 基因 mRNA 表达均显著下降,抑制率分别为66.675% 和60.69%(P<0.05);Western blot 结果显示 survivin shRNA 瞬时转染和稳定转染细胞survivin 蛋白表达水平亦显著降低,抑制率分别为63.41% 和60.18%(P<0.05)。流式细胞术检测瞬时转染和稳定转染细胞的凋亡率显著增加,分别为(22.41±2.83)% 和(20.73±2.56)%(与对照组比较,P均<0.05),细胞倍增时间显著延长。生长曲线显示稳定转染细胞的生长显著减慢。结论shRNA 重组质粒介导的 RNA 干扰能明显抑制 Jurkat 细胞 survivin 基因 mRNA 和蛋白产物的表达,诱导细胞凋亡和生长抑制。

Effect of shRNA-mediated survivin gene silencing on apoptosis and proliferation of leukemia cell line Jurkat

OBJECTIVE: To transfect a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against survivin gene into human T lymphoblastic leukemia cell line Jurkat, and to explore the effects on apoptosis and proliferation of transfected cells. METHODS: The survivin-shRNA expression vector were constructed and transfected into Jurkat cells. Expression of survivin mRNA and protein were assessed by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis respectively. Apoptosis index of transfected Jurkat cells was quantified by flow cytometry. The potential of cell proliferation was described by cell growth curves. RESULTS: In survivin-shRNA transfected Jurkat cells, survivin mRNA levels were significantly reduced by 66.67% ( transient transfection) and 60.69% ( stable transfection) respectively, compared with that in control-shRNA treated group and PBS treated group (P < 0.05); and the levels of survivin protein were significantly reduced by 63.41% (transient transfection) and 60.18% (stable transfection), compared with that in the two control groups (P < 0.05). Apoptosis index was significantly increased during both transient and stable transfection, respectively (22. 41 +/- 2.83)% and (20.73 +/- 2.56)% (P < 0.05)]. Survivin-shRNA also inhibited the proliferation of Jurkat cells. CONCLUSIONS: Vector-based survivin-shRNA can effectively reduce the expression of survivin gene, induce apoptosis
