RESUMEN

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the traditional Chinese medicine psoralen (PSO) plus long wave ultraviolet A (PUVA) on apoptosis in HL-60 leukemia cells and its mechanism. The effect of PUVA on HL-60 cell growth was assayed by MTT method and the changes of ultrastructure of cells were observed by electron microscopy. The apoptosis ratios, changes of mitochondrial membrane potential, expression of Fas and FasL protein and Fas and FasL mRNA were detected by FCM and fluorescent quantitation RT-PCR respectively. The expression of Caspase 8 and Caspase 3 protein were detected by immunocytochemistry (ICC). The results showed that the growth of HL-60 cells were inhibited by PUVA in time-and concentration-dependent manner through inducing cell apoptosis. When the irradiation time of long wave ultraviolet A lasted 15 minutes and the concentration of PSO was 80 microg/ml, the inhibition of HL-60 cell proliferation and apoptosis ratios reached the peak. There were obvious apoptotic ultrastructure changes and decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential in HL-60 cells after treatment with PUVA. The expression of Fas mRAN increased and expression of FasL mRNA decreased after treating with PUVA for 4 hours, and the same results of Fas, FasL expression on protein level were obtained also after treating with PUVA for 24 hours. The expression of caspase 8 and caspase 3 protein enhanced and reached the peak after treating with PUVA for 8 hours. It is concluded that the PUVA can inhibit the growth of HL-60 cells and induce apoptosis of these cells. The possible mechanism is supposed to be up-regulating Fas, down-regulating FasL levels and then activating the levels of caspase 8 and caspase 3. The decreasing of mitochondrial membrane potential may be involved in this process probably.
