Inhibitory Effect of NPM Gene Knockdown on Proliferation of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cell Line K562 and Its Mechanism
2019
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of nucleophosmin (NPM) in the proliferation of chronic myeloid leukemia cells (K562 cells) and its mechanism by RNAi technology. METHODS: shRNA was used to inhibit the expression of NPM. The expression of NPM gene was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The effect of inhibiting NPM gene on cell proliferation was detected by MTS assay. Change of cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect the expression of cell cycle-related proteins. RESULTS: The shRNA lentiviral vector targeting at NPM gene was successfully constructed and used to transfect the K562 cells. The results showed that compared with the control groups, suppression of NPM gene expression in K562 cells could inhibit the cell proliferation and decrease the cell colony formation. Moreover, interference of NPM gene could prolong G0/G1 phase and arrest cell cycle, which may be related to the down-regulation of NPM gene expression and activation of p21 protein expression, thereby inhibited the formation of CDK2/ Cyclin E complex. CONCLUSION: Down-regulation of NPM gene expression in K562 cells can induce cell cycle arrest and inhibit cell proliferation. 结论: 下调K562细胞NPM基因的表达,可以通过诱导细胞周期阻滞抑制K562细胞的增殖.
