c-myc反义寡核苷酸对HL-60细胞端粒酶活性影响及诱导凋亡作用

为了研究c-myc基因反义寡核苷酸(ASODN)对HL-60细胞端粒酶活性的影响及其诱导凋亡作用,探讨HL-60细胞端粒酶活性与c-myc基因表达的关系,应用反义寡核苷酸封闭HL-60细胞c-myc基因的表达,RT-PCR方法检测该基因表达抑制情况,采用流式细胞术进行细胞凋亡检测及细胞周期分析,琼脂糖凝胶电泳观察凋亡细胞的DNA断裂情况,应用TRAP-ELISA法测定HL-60细胞端粒酶的活性。结果表明:反义硫代寡核苷酸作用于HL-60细胞72小时后,c-myc基因表达明显受抑;S期细胞百分数由55.6%降至30%,并出现早期凋亡峰(凋亡细胞比例占25.2%);琼脂糖凝胶电泳显示DNA凋亡梯形带;端粒酶活性检测发现反义寡核苷酸3,4,5μmol/L作用组OD450-690分别为1.952±0.14,1.805±0.40,1.616±0.41,与未作用组(OD450-690为2.648±0.42)比较,差异有显著性(P<0.05);反义寡核苷酸1和2μmol/L作用组及正义寡核苷酸5μmol/L作用组OD450-690分别为2.324±0.36,2.162±0.38,2.466±0.29,与未作用组比较,差异无显著性(P>0.05)。结论:c-myc基因反义寡核苷酸能够通过封闭c-myc基因的表达而诱导HL-60细胞凋亡,阻止细胞由G1期进入S期,并具有下调端粒酶活性作用。

Effects of c-myc Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotide on the Telomerase Activity and the Induction of Apoptosis in HL-60 Cells

To investigate the effects of c-myc antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) on the telomerase activity and the induction of apoptosis in HL-60 cells, and to explore the relationship between the telomerase activity and the expression of c-myc gene in HL-60 cells, after treatment by c-myc ASODN, the expression of c-myc was detected by RT-PCR, the apoptosis, cell cycle were detected with agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytomety, and the telomerase activity was determined with TRAP-ELISA. The results showed that after blocking c-myc gene with ASODN for 72 hours, it is obvious that the expression of c-myc gene was inhibited. The percentage of S phase HL-60 cells decreased from 55.6% to 30%, the early apoptosis peak appeared (the percentage of apoptosis cells were 25.2%) and the DNA ladders were shown. OD(450 - 690) were 2.648 +/- 0.42, 2.324 +/- 0.36, 2.162 +/- 0.38, 1.952 +/- 0.14, 1.805 +/- 0.40, 1.616 +/- 0.41 and 2.466 +/- 0.29, respectively, as the cells were treated with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 micromol/L ASODN and 5 micromol/L SODN for 72 hours. The difference was significant when compared 3, 4, 5 micromol/L groups with 0 micromol/L ASODN group respectively (P < 0.05), but the difference was no significant when compared 1, 2 micromol/L ASODN and 5 micromol/L SODN groups with 0 micromol/L ASODN group (P > 0.05). It is concluded that the c-myc gene ASODN may induce the apoptosis of cells, inhibit cells from G(1) phase into S phase and regulate the telomerase activity down in HL-60 cells by blocking the expression of c-myc gene.
