This study aimed to investigate the effects of STOML2 and the relationship between STOML2 and PAI-1 in the development of multiple myeloma (MM).
Cell proliferation was tested using CCK-8 assay and cell colony formation assay. Glucose consumption, lactate production and ATP level were measured using commercial kits. The mRNA and protein expression were assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting, respectively.
Both mRNA and protein expression of STOML2 were upregulated in MM patients compared to healthy volunteers. CCK-8 and colony formation assays demonstrated that STOML2 silencing inhibited cell proliferation in MM cells. Knockdown of STOML2 reduced glucose consumption, lactate production and ATP/ADP ratios. STOML2 silencing by shSTOML2 led to reduced PAI-1 expression. Overexpression of PAI-1 reversed the inhibitory effects of shSTOML2 on MM cell growth.
Results from this study demonstrated that STOML2 silencing inhibits cell proliferation and glycolysis through downregulation of PAI-1 expression, suggesting a new therapeutic target for MM.
本研究旨在探讨 STOML2 的作用及其与 PAI-1 在多发性骨髓瘤(MM)发病机制中的关系。
通过 CCK-8 法和集落形成实验检测细胞增殖;采用试剂盒检测葡萄糖消耗、乳酸生成和 ATP 水平;通过实时定量聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)和蛋白质印迹法分别检测 mRNA 和蛋白表达。
与健康志愿者相比,MM 患者的 STOML2 mRNA 和蛋白表达均上调。CCK-8 和集落形成实验表明,沉默 STOML2 可抑制 MM 细胞的增殖。敲低 STOML2 可降低葡萄糖消耗、乳酸生成和 ATP/ADP 比值。shSTOML2 下调 STOML2 表达可降低 PAI-1 表达。过表达 PAI-1 可逆转 shSTOML2 对 MM 细胞生长的抑制作用。
本研究结果表明,沉默 STOML2 通过下调 PAI-1 表达抑制细胞增殖和糖酵解,为 MM 提供了一个新的治疗靶点。
