Expression of SHIP 1 in the Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Its Influence on the Apoptosis of Human Leukemia Cells / 现代生物医学进展

Objective:To investigate the expression of SHIP1 in the patients with acute myeloid leukemia and its effect on the apoptosis of human leukemia cells.Methods:The expression of SHIP1 in the bone marrow of patients with acute myeloid leukemia was detected by Westem blot.U937 cells was transfected with SHIP1 expression vector (pEGFP-SHIP1 group) and empty vector control (pEGFP group) respectively,U937 cells without transfection were used as the control group.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of the cells,the expression of SHIP1,Bcl-2,Bax,Akt,p-Akt were detected by western blot.Results:The expression of SHIP1 in the bone marrow of patients with acute myeloid leukemia was significantly lower than that of the normal human bone marrow SHIP 1 (P＜0.01).The SHIP1 and Bax expressions as well as the apoptotic rate ofpEGFP-SHIP1 group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.01),while the Bcl-2 and p-Akt expressions were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusions:SH-P1 expression was down regulated in the bone marrow of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.SHIP1 could promote the apoptosis of human leukemia cells via Akt signaling pathway.

EFFECT OF LYCIUM BARBARUM POLYSACCHARIDE ON APOPTOSIS OF HUMAN LEUKEMIA CELLS / 营养学报

Objective: To explore the effect of LBP X on apoptosis of human leukemia HL 60 cells. Methods: The inhibitory effect of LBP X on growth of HL 60 cells was assayed by MTT method. The membrance fludity was determined with DPH fluorigenic labeling technique. HL 60 cells were stained with Hoechst 33 258 for nuclear morphology analysis. Agarose gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry were used to analyze apoptosis qualitatively and quantitatively. Results: 20-1 000mg/L LBP X inhibited the growth of HL 60 cells in dose dependent manner and the membrance fludity decreased. The nuclei of HL 60 cells treated with LBP X for 48 h shrinked, condensed and cleaved. Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA from cells treated with LBP X revealed "DNA ladder". HL 60 cells exposed to LBP X showed apoptotic peaks. Conclusion: LBP X can induce apoptosis in human leukemia HL 60 cells.

MALIGNANT PHENOTYPE ANALYSIS OF HYBRIDS FROM THE FUSION OF HUMAN PROMYELOCYTE LEUKEMIA CELLS AND MOUSE BONE MARROW NUCLEATED RED CELLS / 解剖学报

The heterospecies hybrid cells(HL-N)from the fusion of human promyelocy-tic leukemia mutant cells(HL-60-AR)and mouse bone marrow nucleated red cellswere established in HAT selective medium.Malignant phenotype comparative analy-sis between parental tumor cells and hybrid cells showed that growth ability ofhybrid cells was decreased.The hybrid cells reduced their DNA synthesis rate andlost the ability of colony-forming in 0.3% soft agar medium.The cells lost tumor-producing ability when they were transplanted into nude mice also.Inhibition orreduction of c-myc oncogene expression was demonstrated by Northern molecularhybridization techniques.The ultrastructure of hybrid cells were also different fromtheir parental cells.These results mentioned above showed that the mouse bone mar-row nucleated red cells might provide some peculiar factors(both nuclear factorsand cytoplasmic factors)to inhibit the expression of HL-60-AR cell malignant phe-notypes.
