Effects of simvastatin on proliferation and apoptosis of acute monocytic leukemia cell line SHI-1 / 中国实验血液学杂志

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of simvastatin (SIM) on proliferation and apoptosis of acute monocytic leukemia cell line SHI-1 and its mechanism. Experiments were divided into control and test groups (5 µmol/L, 10 µmol/L, 20 µmol/L SIM groups). The growth inhibitory rate of SHI-1 cells was detected using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method. The cell cycle distribution and apoptotic rate were measured by using flow cytometry. The expression of BCL-2, caspase-3 mRNA were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression of BCL-2, caspase-3 protein levels were analyzed by Western blot. The results demonstrated that SIM inhibited the growth of SHI-1 cells in time- and does-dependent manners. Cell cycle analysis showed that SHI-1 cells significantly arrested in S phase (p < 0.05) after treating with SIM for 48 hours, as compared with control group. 5 µmol/L SIM in test group significantly blocked cell cycle progression, but can not induce apoptosis. The expressions of BCL-2 mRNA and protein were down-regulated and caspase-3 mRNA and protein were up-regulated along with the increase of SIM concentration (p < 0.05). It is concluded that SIM is able to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of SHI-1 cells, the mechanism may be associated with downregulating the expression of apoptosis-related gene BCL-2, upregulating the expression of caspase-3.

Overexpression of CHIP in chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells induces mitotic abnormality / 中国实验血液学杂志

This study was aimed to investigate the possible influence of a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP (carboxyl terminus of Hsc70/Hsp70-interacting protein) on biological characteristics of cancer cells. Stable overexpression models in CML K562 cells were established via lipofectamine-mediated wild type CHIP and its TPR or U-box deletion mutants gene transfection. Followed G418 pressure selection, K562-CHIP stable transfected cell clones were obtained by limited dilution. The proliferation status and cell cycle were observed by MTT assay and FACS. The expression of related proteins and morphological changes were detected by Western blot and Wright-Giemsa staining. The results showed that overexpression of wild type CHIP did not inhibit cell proliferation, but slightly increased cell ratio of G(2)/M phase. CHIP gene had no effect on the stability of BCR-ABL kinase protein. HDAC inhibitor FK228-induced BCR-ABL degradation did not enhanced by CHIP. Notably the enlarged cells and abnormal mitotic cells remarkably increased in K562 WT-CHIP cells, indicating that CHIP may involve in the regulation of mitotic process. It is concluded that wild type CHIP induces mitotic abnormity in K562 cells.

The mechanism of arsenic trioxide-inducing apoptosis of K562 cells / 中国实验血液学杂志

The aim was to investigate the mechanism of arsenic trioxide (ATO) inducing apoptosis of K562 cells that express P210Bcr-Abl. Apoptosis was analyzed by cell proliferation assay, morphological changes, DNA-PI staining and cell cycle analysis. ELISA kits were also used to analyze the concentration of cytosolic cytochrome C and activation of caspase-3. Transcriptional levels of Bcl-XL and Bcr-Abl were assayed by semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results showed that K562 cells were induced to apoptosis after exposure to 2.5 micromol/L ATO for at least 48 hours, and the cell cycle of K562 cells was arrested at the G2/M phase. Caspase-3 was activated and there was a cytosolic accumulation of cytochrome C. ATO could only reduce the transcriptional level of Bcl-XL, but could not down-regulate the Bcr-Abl transcriptional level. In conclusion, ATO can induce K562 cells to apoptosis. The signal pathway mediated by the cytosolic translocation of mitochondria cytochrome C is one of the mechanisms for ATO inducing apoptosis. And the decrease of Bcl-XL may induce more apoptosis.
