Abstract:
AIM:To investigate the effect of homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) on the viabi-lity, apoptosis and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in NRK-52E renal tubular epithelial cells induced by hypoxia and reox-ygenation (H/R). METHODS:HIPK2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was transfected into NRK-52E cells by Lipo-fectamineTM 2000, and normal control group (control group) and negative control group (HIPK2-NC group) were set up. After H/R, the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, the apoptotic rate and Ca2+ fluorescence intensity were ana-lyzed by flow cytometry, and the protein levels of Ki67, cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bcl-2, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with control group, the protein expression of HIPK2 in the NRK-52E cells was significantly decreased after transfection with HIPK2 siRNA (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in H/R group were also significantly decreased, and the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with H/R group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in HIPK2-siRNA+H/R group were significantly increased, while the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence inten-sity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Inhibition of HIPK2 gene expression promotes H/R-induced growth of NRK-52E renal tubular epi-thelial cells, and reduces the apoptosis. The mechanism is related to down-regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.
