The damage-regulator autophagy modulator 1 (DRAM-1) is a lysosomal protein that positively regulates autophagy in a p53-dependent manner. We aimed at analyzing the role of DRAM-1 in granulocytic differentiation of APL cells. We observed a significant increase of DRAM-1 expression during all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced neutrophil differentiation of NB4 APL cells but not in ATRA-resistant NB4-R2 cells. Next, knocking down DRAM-1 in NB4 APL cells was sufficient to impair neutrophil differentiation. Given that DRAM-1 is a transcriptional target of p53, we tested if DRAM-1 is regulated by the p53 relative p73. Indeed, inhibiting p73 prevented neutrophil differentiation and DRAM-1 induction of NB4 cells. In conclusion, we show for the first time that p73-regulated DRAM-1 is functionally involved in neutrophil differentiation of APL cells.
损伤调控自噬调节剂 1(DRAM-1)是一种溶酶体蛋白,它以依赖 p53 的方式正向调节自噬。我们旨在分析 DRAM-1 在 APL 细胞粒细胞分化中的作用。我们观察到,在全反式视黄酸(ATRA)诱导的 NB4 APL 细胞中性粒细胞分化过程中,DRAM-1 的表达显著增加,但在 ATRA 耐药的 NB4-R2 细胞中没有增加。接下来,在 NB4 APL 细胞中敲低 DRAM-1 足以损害中性粒细胞分化。鉴于 DRAM-1 是 p53 的转录靶标,我们测试了 DRAM-1 是否受 p53 相对 p73 的调节。事实上,抑制 p73 可阻止 NB4 细胞的中性粒细胞分化和 DRAM-1 诱导。总之,我们首次表明,p73 调节的 DRAM-1 功能上参与了 APL 细胞的中性粒细胞分化。
