Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of tetramethylpyrazine injection on proliferation and apoptosis of human acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell line Jurkat and the relevant molecular mechanisms.Methods Cells were treated with tetramethylpyrazine injection at various concentrations (0,0.25,0.50,0.75,1.00,1.25 and 1.50 mg/ml),CCK-8 method was used to detect the inhibition rates at 24,48 and 72 h.After cells were treated with different concentrations of tetramethylpyrazine injection (0,0.50,1.00 and 1.50 mg/ml) for 48 h,the cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry,and the Aurora-B and Survivin protein expression were analyzed by Western blot.Results Compared with the control group (cells without tetramethylpyrazine injection treatment),various concentrations of tetramethylpyrazine injection could effectively inhibit Jurkat cells proliferation in a time-and dose-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05),and IC50 at 24 h,48 h and 72 h after treatment were (1.33±0.16),(0.91±0.10) and (0.67±0.11) mg/ml,respectively.After cells were treated with tetramethylpyrazine injection at different concentrations (0.5,1.0 and 1.5 mg/ml) for 48 h,the number of treated cells in G2/M phase was increased,but that in S phase was decreased,and the apoptosis rates were significantly higher than that of control group,with a dose dependence (P ＜ 0.05).The results of Western blot showed that the expression levels of Aurora-B and Survivin in treated cells were lower than that of control group,also with a dose dependence (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Tetramethylpyrazine injection can effectively inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of Jurkat cells in vitro,and its underlying mechanisms involve with down-regulation of the Aurora-B and Survivin protein expression.
