Abstract:
Objective To explore the expression of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) mRNA and protein,as well as the relationship between TrxR and myeloid leukemia.Methods Bone marrow samples from 20 acute myeloid leukemia (AML),20 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML),and 20 healthy persons as normal control group were collected.The human non small cell lung cancer A549 cells were selected as the positive control group.The expression of TrxR mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The expression of TrxR protein level was detected by Western blot.Results The relative quantitation expressions of TrxR mRNA were 6.751 (13.459),4.321 (11.389),18.477 (2.089),1.045 (0.467) in AML,CML,positive control and normal control group,were 17.814±3.979 and 4.860±1.550 in the primary diagnosed/relapse group and complete remission (CR) group of AML patients,and were 19.552 (5.758) and 3.459 (2.047) in the primary diagnosed and treatment group of CML patients.The expression levels of TrxR mRNA in AML,CML and positive control group were significantly higher than that in normal control group (H =43.978,P ＜ 0.001).For AML patients,the expression levels of TrxR mRNA in the primary diagnosed/relapse group,CR,positive control group were significantly higher than that in normal control group (F=246.793,P ＜ 0.001),and the difference between the primary diagnosed/relapse group and positive control group was no significant (P ＞ 0.05).The expression of TrxR mRNA were higher in the primary diagnosed/relapse group than that in CR group,and that in CR group than that in normal control group (both P ＜ 0.05).For CML patients,the expression levels of TrxR mRNA in the primary diagnosed,treatment,positive control group were significantly higher than that in normal controls (H =38.222,P ＜ 0.001),the difference between that in the primary diagnosed and that in positive control group was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05),but the expression of TrxR were significantly higher in the primary diagnosed group than that in treatment group,and that in treatment group than that in normal controls (both P ＜ 0.05).The expression of TrxR mRNA in the primary diagnosed/relapse group of AML and the primary diagnosed group of CML showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The positive levels of TrxR protein were 0.679,0.606,0.877 and 0.095 in AML,CML,positive control and normal control group.TrxR protein was highly expressed in myeloid leukemia patients.Conclusion The expression levels of TrxR mRNA and protein are increased in myeloid leukemia.The low expression of TrxR in normal hematopoietic stem cells is highly expressed in myeloid leukemia,and is downgraded after treatment,which may be used as one of the parameters to diagnosis,effect and prognosis of myeloid leukemia.
