目的探讨新型组蛋白去乙酰化酶(HDAC)抑制剂ITF2357对急性髓系白血病(AML)细胞的增殖抑制及诱导分化和促凋亡作用及其机制。方法以AML细胞系Kasumi一1细胞(AML1-ETO阳性)为模型,应用MTr比色法观察ITF2357对白血病细胞的增殖抑制作用,并与THP1细胞(AML1-ETO阴性)进行比较;用流式细胞术分析细胞周期和分化抗原的表达;用AnnexinV标记和流式细胞术分析细胞凋亡;Westernblot法检测AML1-ETO及乙酰化组蛋白、easpase蛋白水平。结果0.5μm0L/LITF2357即能明显抑制Kasumi-1细胞增殖,48h半数抑制浓度(IC50)为0.1μmoL/L,然而对于AML1-ETO阴性的THP1细胞系的起始抑制浓度为5.0μm0L/L;ITF2357诱导Kasumi-1细胞凋亡呈时间、剂量依赖性,1TF2357处理24h早期凋亡细胞由(1.44±1.52)%增加至(24.51±5.79)%,48h晚期凋亡细胞由(2.37±2.80)%增加至(63.66±1.56)%。0.25μmoL/LITF2357即可诱导Kasu-mi-1细胞髓系分化抗原CD13及CD15表达增加,并呈剂量和时间依赖性。经5.0μmoL/LITF2357作用后细胞阻滞于G0/G1期,G0/G1期细胞由(39.69±6.56)%增加至(79.20±6.51)%,伴有s期细胞减少,由(60.12±3.29)%降低至(18.97±6.62)%。Westernblot检测发现0.5μmoL/LITF2357可降低AMLl-ETO蛋白水平,处理24h开始减少,处理96h后AML1-ETO基本消失,并依赖于easpase途径。经ITF2357处理后,组蛋白H4及H3的乙酰化水平增加。结论低剂量HDAC抑制剂ITF2357能有效抑制AML细胞的增殖,对于AML1-ETO阳性AML细胞尤为有效,通过降解AML1-ETO蛋白抑制Kasumi-1细胞增殖,使细胞阻滞于G0/G1期,诱导其发生凋亡及分化。
Objective To explore the effect of ITF2357, a novel histone deacetylase(HDAC) inhibi- tor, on the growth, differentiation and apoptosis of acute myeloid leukemic (AML) cells and its mechanism. Methods AML cell lines kasumi-1 cells as a model for AMLI-ETO positive, and THP1 cells for AML1-ETO negative, the leukemic cells proliferation was analyzed by MTT assay, expression of myeloid-specific differenti- ation antigen and cell cycle by flow cytometry, cell apoptosis by annexin V staining and flow cytometry. AML1-ETO, acetyl-histone, and caspase protein was analyzed by Western blot. Results 0. 5 μmol/L 1TF2357 treatment significantly inhibited kasumi-1 cells proliferation, with the 48 h half inhibitory concentra- tion ( IC50 ) of 0. 1 μmol/L. The initial inhibitory concentration of THP1 cell line AML1-ETO negative was 5 μmol/L. ITF 2357 induced apoptosis of kasumi-1 cells in a time- and dose dependent manner. A dose-de- pendent increase in early apoptosis oceured at 24 hours treatment and in late apoptosis at 48 hours treatment by ITF2357. Early apoptosis cells increased from (1.44 ± 1.52)% to (24.51 ±5.79)%. Late apoptosis cells increased from (2.37 ± 2.80) % to (63.66 ± 1.56) %. ITF2357 induced AML1-ETO degradation by caspase-dependent pathway. 0.25 μmol/L ITF2357 induced a time- and dose-dependent increase in expres- sion of myeloid cell surface protein CD13 and CD15. 5.0 p.moL/L ITF2357 blocked the cells at G0/G1 phase, G0/G1 cells increased from (39.69 ± 6.56)% to (79.20±6.51 )% and S-phase ceils declined from(60.12 ± 3.29) % to ( 18.97 ± 6.62) %. Kasumi-1 cells incubated with 0.5μmol/L of ITF2357, AML1- ETO protein began to decrease at 24 hours and could hardly be detected at 96 hours. ITF2357 induced AML1/ETO degradation through a caspase-dependent mechanism. At the same time, acetylated H3 and H4 increased. Conclusion Low-dose HDAC inhibitor ITF2357 can effectively inhibit the AML cells prolifera- tion, especially for AML1-ETO positive AML cells. It in
