The hemopoietic-restricted Src homology 2-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase (SHIP) acts as a negative regulator for the proliferation and survival of hematopoietic cells by hydrolysing the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-generated second messenger, PtdIns(3,4,5)-P3 (PI-3,4,5-P3) to PtdIns(3,4)-P2 (PI-3,4-P2). This study was to investigate the biological function of SHIP gene in pathogenesis of leukemia cells by lentiviral vector-mediated SHIP transfection.
Ectopic SHIP gene was transfected into leukemia K562 cells by the mediation of lentiviral vector. The mRNA level of SHIP was detected by fluorescent quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR). The expression of SHIP, Akt, and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) was detected by Western blot. The proliferation and morphology of K562 cells before and after SHIP gene transfection were compared.
The proliferation of K562 cells was inhibited after transfection: the proliferation inhibition rate was increased from (9.9+/-1.5)% on Day 3 to (40.6+/-2.3)% on Day 5. K562 cells were SHIP-negative but expressed high level of p-Akt which was down-regulated from 0.533 to 0.245 (P<0.01) after SHIP transfection. Apoptotic characteristics were showed in K562 cells after SHIP transfection. The early apoptosis rate was significantly higher in K562-wtSHIP-FIV-G cells than in K562-FIV-G cells and untransfected K562 cells [(38.3+/-4.3)% vs. (8.2+/-0.9)% and (7.7+/-0.8)%, P<0.05].
SHIP gene can inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis via inactivating PI3K/Akt pathway. Loss of SHIP might activate PI3K/Akt pathway and promote the proliferation of K562 cells.
造血特异性含Src同源2结构域的肌醇5'-磷酸酶(SHIP)通过将磷酸肌醇3激酶(PI3K)产生的第二信使磷脂酰肌醇(3,4,5)-三磷酸(PtdIns(3,4,5)-P3,PI-3,4,5-P3)水解为磷脂酰肌醇(3,4)-二磷酸(PtdIns(3,4)-P2,PI-3,4-P2),对造血细胞的增殖和存活起负调节作用。本研究旨在通过慢病毒载体介导的SHIP转染,探讨SHIP基因在白血病细胞发病机制中的生物学功能。
通过慢病毒载体介导,将SHIP基因异位转染至白血病K562细胞。采用荧光定量逆转录-聚合酶链反应(FQ-PCR)检测SHIP的mRNA水平。通过蛋白质免疫印迹法检测SHIP、Akt及磷酸化Akt(p-Akt)的表达。比较SHIP基因转染前后K562细胞的增殖及形态变化。
转染后K562细胞的增殖受到抑制:增殖抑制率从第3天的(9.9±1.5)%增至第5天的(40.6±2.3)%。K562细胞SHIP阴性,但p-Akt表达水平较高,转染SHIP后其表达水平从0.533降至0.245(P<0.01)。SHIP转染后的K562细胞呈现凋亡特征。K562-wtSHIP-FIV-G细胞的早期凋亡率显著高于K562-FIV-G细胞及未转染的K562细胞[(38.3±4.3)% 对 (8.2±0.9)% 和 (7.7±0.8)%,P<0.05]。
SHIP基因可通过使PI3K/Akt通路失活来抑制细胞增殖并促进细胞凋亡。SHIP缺失可能激活PI3K/Akt通路并促进K562细胞增殖。
