Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been associated with the pathophysiology of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Trisomy 8 is the most frequent chromosomal abnormalities in Korean patients with MDS. We investigated the dysregulation of miR-597-5p, located on chromosome 8, which is reported to induce cell death in numerous cancers.
We compared the expression profiles of miR-597-5p among 65 MDS patients and 11 controls, and analyzed the in vitro effects of miR-597 on leukemic cells using an acute myeloid leukemia cell line transfected with miR-597.
We found that miR-597-5p levels were upregulated 4.05-fold in MDS patients compared to those in controls. In vitro study results demonstrated that transfection with a miR-597 mimic induced apoptosis through downregulation of FOS like 2 (FOSL2).
These findings suggest that upregulation of miR-597 induces apoptosis and that miR-597 has a possible role in the pathophysiology of MDS.
微小 RNA(miRNAs)的失调与骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)的病理生理学有关。8 号染色体三体是韩国 MDS 患者最常见的染色体异常。我们研究了位于 8 号染色体上的 miR-597-5p 的失调,据报道,miR-597-5p 在许多癌症中诱导细胞死亡。
我们比较了 65 例 MDS 患者和 11 例对照者的 miR-597-5p 表达谱,并使用转染 miR-597 的急性髓系白血病细胞系分析 miR-597 对白血病细胞的体外作用。
与对照组相比,MDS 患者的 miR-597-5p 水平上调了 4.05 倍。体外研究结果表明,miR-597 模拟物的转染通过下调 FOS 样 2(FOSL2)诱导细胞凋亡。
这些发现表明 miR-597 的上调诱导细胞凋亡,miR-597 可能在 MDS 的病理生理学中发挥作用。
