目的探讨地塞米松联合组蛋白去乙酰化酶(HDAc)抑制剂vorinostat对Kasumi一1细胞增殖、分化和凋亡的影响及可能的作用机制,为其用于治疗急性髓系白血病提供理论依据。方法以二甲基亚砜为对照组,地塞米松(20nmol/L)、vorinostat(1mmol/L)以及二者联合作用于Kasumi.1细胞24、48h,用MTT法和流式细胞术检测Kasumi-1细胞的生长抑制率、分化抗原的表达和凋亡率。处理48h后用Westernblot法检测AMLl-ETO蛋白水平,用免疫共沉淀-Westemblot法检测其泛素化修饰的变化。结果以地塞米松、vorinostat单独处理以及二者联合处理Kasumi-1细胞48h,发现联合处理组Kasumi-1细胞的增殖抑制率、分化抗原CDl3表达率和凋亡率分别为(42.06±8.20)%、(52.83±8.97)%、(52.92±2.53)%,对照组分别为(6.96+0.39)%、(21.73±2.03)%、(6.96±0.39)%,地塞米松组分别为(17.30+3.49)%、(22.53±4.51)%、(19.57±2.17)%,vorinostat组分别为(33.82±9.41)%、(43.93±9.04)%、(42.98±3.01)%,联合处理组较其他3组增高,差异均有统计学意义(P值均〈0.05)。联合处理组与对照组和单药处理组比较,Kasumi-1细胞内AML1-ETO蛋白水平下降,AML1-ETO泛素化修饰水平提高。结论地塞米松和vorinostat通过协同促进AML1-ETO融合蛋白泛素化修饰和泛素蛋白酶体途径降解,抑制Kasumi-1细胞增殖,促进Kasumi-1细胞分化和凋亡。
Objective To probe the effects of dexamethasone (DEX) combined with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor vorinostat on inhibiting proliferation and inducing differentiation and apoptosis in Kasumi-1 leukemia cells, and its possible mechanisms in order to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of AML1-ETO positive AML. Methods The cell survival, differentiation and apoptosis rates were tested by MTT or flow cytometry analysis after Kasumi-1 cells were treated by DMSO, DEX (20 nmol/L), vorinostat (1 gmol/L) or DEX (20 nmol/L) in combination with vorinostat (1μmol/L). WB and IP-WB were performed to detect AML1-ETO and its ubiquitination. Results Treatment with the combination of DEX and vorinostat for 48 h led to statistically significant differences of inhibited proliferation [ (42.06±8.20)% 1, increased differentiation [ (52.83± 8.97)%] and apoptosis [ (52.92 i 2.53)%1 of Kasumi-1 cells when compared with vorinostat [ (33.82±9.41)%, (43.93±9.04)% and (42.98± 3.01 )%, respectively], DEX [ ( 17.30±3.49)%, (22.53±4.51 )% and (19.57±2.17)%, respectivelyl or control [ (6.96±0.39)%, (21.73±2.03)% and (6.96~0.39)%, respectively]. Also significant ubiqutination and decreased AML1-ETO protein in Kasumi-1 cells after the combination treatment over single agent or control were observed. Conclusion The results indicated that DEX and vorinostat could synergistically inhibit the Kasumi-1 cells proliferation, induce Kasumi-I cells differentiation and apoptosis through ubiquitination and degradation of AML 1-ETO.
