Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of UVRAG on mitophagy in leukemia cells K562.
METHODS:K562 cells were induced with different concentrations of mitophagy inducer carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) for 6, 12 and 24 hours, and the cell viability was detected by the CCK-8 assay. K562 cells were divided into NC, UVRAG-siRNA, UVRAG-siRNA+CCCP, and CCCP group, while Western blot was used to detect the expression of UVRAG protein. Flow cytometry was used to detect the changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial structural integrity. The expressions of autophagy related proteins P62 and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ were detected by Western blot.
RESULTS:Compared with NC group, the expression of UVRAG protein in UVRAG -siRNA group significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with CCCP group, in UVRAG -siRNA+CCCP group ROS, mitochondrial structure damage, and the expression of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.05, P<0.01), while the expression of P62 protein increased (P<0.05). Compared with NC group, the differences in the expressions of P62 and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ protein, ROS, and mitochondrial structural integrity in UVRAG -siRNA group were not obvious (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION:Under the treatment of CCCP, silencing UVRAG can inhibit mitophagy in K562 cells.
