Reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis is crucial for leukaemogenesisand deregulation would hamper leukaemic progression. Although the regulatory effects of RUNX1/ETO has been extensively studied, its underlying molecular mechanims in ROS production in t(8,21) AML is yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we report that RUNX1/ETO could directly control FLT3 by occupying several DNA elements on FLT3 locus. The possible hijacking mechanism by RUNX1/ETO over FLT3 mediated ROS modulation in AML t(8;21) was made apparent when suppression of RUNX1/ETO led to decrement in ROS levels and the direct oxidative marker FOXO3 but not in FLT3 and RAC1 suppressed t(8,21) AML cell line Furthermore, nuclear import of RUNX1/ETO was aberrated following RUNX1/ETO and RAC1 suppression suggesting association in ROS control. A different picture was depicted in non t(8;21) cells where suppression of RAC1 and FLT3 led to decreased levels of FOXO3a and ROS. Results alltogether indicate a possible dysregulation of ROS levels by RUNX1/ETO in t(8,21) AML.
活性氧(ROS)稳态对于白血病的发生至关重要,其失调会阻碍白血病的进展。虽然 RUNX1/ETO 的调节作用已被广泛研究,但它在 t(8,21)AML 中产生 ROS 的潜在分子机制尚未完全阐明。在这里,我们报告 RUNX1/ETO 可以通过占据 FLT3 基因座上的几个 DNA 元件来直接控制 FLT3。当抑制 RUNX1/ETO 导致 ROS 水平和直接氧化标记 FOXO3 下降,但不影响 FLT3 和 RAC1 时,RUNX1/ETO 对 AML t(8;21)中 FLT3 介导的 ROS 调节的可能劫持机制变得明显抑制 t(8,21)AML 细胞系。此外,RUNX1/ETO 和 RAC1 抑制后 RUNX1/ETO 的核内输入异常,表明在 ROS 控制方面存在关联。在非 t(8;21)细胞中描绘了一幅不同的画面,其中 RAC1 和 FLT3 的抑制导致 FOXO3a 和 ROS 水平降低。结果表明,RUNX1/ETO 在 t(8,21)AML 中可能导致 ROS 水平的失调。
