To investigate if Dishevelled 2 (DVL2) regulates the apoptosis of rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS) via the JAK-STAT pathway. DVL2 overexpressed lentivirus was transfected into RA-FLS and the apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. The effect of DVL2 on RA-FLS signaling pathway was detected by RNA-seq, and then the key genes were verified by RT-PCR. Compared with the control group, DVL2 significantly increased the apoptosis rate of MH7A (3.2%±2.2% vs 25.7%±4.5%). RNA-seq results showed that DVL2 down-regulated the JAK-STAT pathway.The results of RT-PCR showed that DVL2 inhibited the gene expression of JAK2, Stat1, and Stat2; DVL2 still inhibited the gene expression of JAK2 and Stat2 but not Stat1 after TNF-α stimulation.DVL2 inhibited the gene expression of Bcl-xL, and the gene expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL after TNF-α stimulation. DVL2 can increase the apoptosis rate of RA-FLS through inhibiting the JAK-STAT pathway and its downstream anti-apoptotic gene.
探讨Dishevelled 2(DVL2)是否通过JAK-STAT途径调节类风湿关节炎成纤维样滑膜细胞(RA-FLS)的凋亡。将DVL2过表达慢病毒转染至RA-FLS中,通过流式细胞术检测凋亡率。通过RNA测序检测DVL2对RA-FLS信号通路的影响,然后通过RT-PCR验证关键基因。与对照组相比,DVL2显著提高了MH7A的凋亡率(3.2%±2.2%对25.7%±4.5%)。RNA测序结果显示DVL2下调了JAK-STAT途径。RT-PCR结果显示DVL2抑制JAK2、Stat1和Stat2的基因表达;TNF-α刺激后,DVL2仍抑制JAK2和Stat2的基因表达,但不抑制Stat1。DVL2抑制Bcl-xL的基因表达,以及TNF-α刺激后Bcl-2和Bcl-xL的基因表达。DVL2可通过抑制JAK-STAT途径及其下游抗凋亡基因来提高RA-FLS的凋亡率。
