Effect of enhanced survivin expression on lymphocyte proliferation and function in K562 cells
Objective To study the effect of survivin gene expression on the lymphocyte’s proliferation and function in cultured K562 cells. Methods The constructed recombinant vector pEGFP-C1-survivin and the plasmid pTZU6
+
1-survivin encoding short hairpin RNA of survivin were transfected into K562 cells respectively to generate K562/survivin
+
cells and K562/survivin
-
cells. K562/survivin
+
cells were selected by G418. The survivin mRNA and protein levels in the 3 kinds of cells (K562/survivin
+
K562 and K562/survivin
-
) were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry methods. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy subjects were co-cultured with these 3 cells respectively in mixed lymphocyte-tumor cell culture (MLTC). Lymphocyte proliferation in the supernatant was evaluated by MTT assay. Nature killer activity was detected by flow cytometry and IFN-γ level was measured by ELISA assay. Results Proliferation index in K562/survivin
+
group was much lower than that in the other 2 groups (P<0.05). Survivin expression level was of negative correlation with NK activity. IFN-γ content in the MLTC of K562/survivin
+
group was lower than that in K562 group (1/4.5) and K562/survivin
-
group (1/8). Conclusion Enhanced expression of survivin may inhibit the proliferation of lymphocyte
activity of nature killer and the secretion of IFN-γ.
