目的深入揭示氢醌(HQ)致MPL转录激活的表观遗传学机制。方法以磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS)溶解HQ,以正常TK6细胞、PBS处理细胞为对照组,分别以2.5、5.0、10.0和20.0μmol/LHQ染毒TK6细胞为染毒组。应用实时荧光定量一聚合酶链反应检测甲基化CpG结合蛋白1~5(MBD1~5)的表达。结果与对照细胞相比,MBD1—4的mRNA表达量在所有的HQ处理细胞中全部下降,20.0μmol/LHQ对MBD2和MBD4表达的抑制效果最为明显,抑制率分别为50%和32%(P〈O.05);而10.0μmo1/LHQ对MBD1和MBD3表达的抑制效果最明显,抑制率分别为36%和33%(P〈0.05);MBD5表达无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。在MPL的CpG岛内有3个MBD1序列特异性结合位点。结论HQ致MPL的转录激活可能与MBD1表达异常有关。
Objective To explore the epigenetie mechanism of MPL transcriptional activation induced by hydroquinone (HQ). Methods HQ was dissolved with PBS buffer, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 20.0μmol/L hydroquinone were given to TK6 cells, respectively, and the normal TK6 cells and cells treated with PBS were used as controls. Expressions of methyl-CpG-binding domain proteins 1-5 (MBD1-5) were tested by reverse transcription real-time RT-PCR assay. Results The expressions of MBD1-4 in the HQ-treated cells were decreased compared with those of the control cells and the expressions of MBD2 and MBD4 were severely inhibited by 20.0 μmol/L HQ , decreased by 50% and 32% (P〈0.05), respectively, while the expressions of MBD1 and MBD3 were severely inhibited by 10.0 p, mol/L HQ, decreased by 36% and 33%(P〈0.05). In CpG island of MPL, there were three sequence-specific biding sites for MBD1. Conclusion Transcriptional activation of MPL induced by HQ may be associated with the dysregulated expression of MBD1.
