Changes in the expression of Bcl-2 and Fas in HL-60 cells treated with cyclosporine A

AIM: To investigate the changes of the expression of Bcl-2 and Fas protein and the apoptosis in HL-60 cells induced by cyclosporine A. METHODS: The expression of Bcl-2 and Fas protein and apoptosis in HL-60 cells were measured by immunohistochemistry analysis and flow cytometric analysis. RESULTS: There was strong expression of Bcl-2 in HL-60 cells, treatment with cyclosporine A (CsA) for 8-10 h down-regulated the expression of Bcl-2. Fas protein expression in HL-60 cells was very low, CsA induced apoptosis of HL-60 cells, but didn't induce Fas protein expression. CONCLUSION: CsA induces apoptosis in HL-60 cells by down-regulating Bcl-2 expression.     

Effect of Radix Tetrastigma hemsleyani flavone on apoptosis and MAPK signaling pathway in myeloid leukemia NB-4 cells

AIM:To study the effects of Radix Tetrastigma hemsleyani flavone (RTHF) on the viability, apoptosis and MAPK signaling pathway in human acute promyelocytic leukemia NB-4 cells. METHODS:The inhibitory effects of RTHF on the viability and proliferation of NB-4 cells were measured by CCK-8 assay and BrdU test. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the apoptosis of NB-4 cells induced by RTHF, and the cell cycle distribution after RTHF treatment. The levels of apoptosis- and MAPK pathway-related proteins in the NB4 cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:RTHF inhibited the viability and proliferation of NB-4 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and the IC₅₀ at 48 h was 2.26 g/L. RTHF blocked NB-4 cells into the cell proliferation cycle, with stagnation in the G₂ phase. Meanwhile, RTHF induced apoptosis of the cells, down-regulated the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, and up-regulated the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax, caspase-3 and Cyt-C, in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The expression of ERK5 was decreased, and p38 was increased induced after RTHF treatment. However, no obvious change of ERK1/2 and JNK after RTHF treatment was observed. CONCLUSION:RTHF effectively inhibits the viability and proliferation, and induces apoptosis of leukemic NB-4 cells in vitro. Its mechanism may be related to signaling pathways of p38 MAPK and apoptosis proteins.     

Restricted expansion of T cell receptor (TCR)Vβ genes in leukemic patients subjected to allogeneic hematopoeitic stem cell transplantation

AIM: To investigate restricted expansion of TCR Vβ gene repertoire in patients with leukemia following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS: TCR Vβ subfamily genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 7 cases of leukemia was amplified using RT-PCR. RESULTS: Only two-eight fragments of Vβ genes were detected in samples from these patients, and the detected fragments are different in different patients. CONCLUSION: TCR complexes were abnormal in all patients, part of the genes were seletively expansed and part of them were suppressed after transplantation.     

内源性禽白血病病毒的RT-PCR检测与基因序列分析

为了解贵州省是否存在内源性禽白血病病毒(ALV)感染情况,试验选取无明显ALV症状的送检病料,采用RTPCR方法对ALV进行扩增。结果:扩增出1条744 bp左右的目的条带。对扩增产物进行测序和基因序列分析,同源性分析结果表明:序列与E亚型ALV中的ev-1、ev-3株同源性最高(99.5%),与J亚型ALV中的HPRS-103株同源性较低(42%)。系统进化树中该序列与内源性ALV中的ev-1、ev-3株属同1个分支,亲缘关系最近,说明其属于内源性ALV。     

Effects of alkyl-lysophospholipids on proliferation and differentiation in HL-60cells

AIM: To explore the effect of alkyl-lysophospholipids (ALP) on the proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation of HL-60cells. METHODS: Proliferative potential was measured by colony formation assays. Apoptotic cells were detected by morphology, DNA gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry analysis. Both morphological criteria and NBT dye reduction were utilized to determine the extent of differentiation. RESULTS: After 9 h of incubation wit15 mg/L of ALP, apoptotic cells, identified by condensened and fragmented nuclei, were present. After 6 days of incubation wit1 mg/L of ALP, the NBT reduction rate in HL-60cells increased to 84.2±2.6%. CONCLUSION: ALP can induce apoptosis and differentiation, and inhibit growth in HL-60cells.

CONCLUSION: These results indicated that antisense oligodeoxynucleotides of hTERT, bcl-2 and c-myc enhanced efficacy of cisplatin in K562 leukemic cells.     

Evaluation of apoptosis in long-term culture of vitrified mouse whole ovaries

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the development of follicles and incidence of apoptosis in vitrified neonatal mouse ovaries cultured in vitro in the presence of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). The vitrified and non-vitrified ovaries of 1-week-old mouse were cultured in the presence or absence of LIF for 7 days. At the beginning and at the end of culture period in each ovary of all groups of study the mean area and the development of ovarian follicles were analyzed; moreover, the incidence of apoptosis was assessed by transmission electron microscopy, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end-labeling (TUNEL) method, DNA laddering and caspase-3/7 activity technique. The hormonal assay was done on the conditioned media collected during culture period. The proportion of preantral follicles and the levels of hormones increased in all cultured groups and it was significantly higher in LIF treated groups than in their control (P < 0.001). The ultrastructural characteristics of cell death, DNA fragmentation and TUNEL positive signals were prominent in vitrified cultured ovaries. The level of caspase-3/7 activity was higher in vitrified cultured ovaries.
