Objective:To explore the effects and mechanisms of bortezomib on the proliferation and apoptosis of acute T lymphocyte leukemia cell line Jurkat.Methods:MTT assay was used to test the influence of bortezomib on the proliferation of Jurkat cells.Flow cytometry was used to detect the influence of bortezomib on apoptosis of Jurkat cells.Real-time quantitative polymerase reaction(RT-PCR) was used to detect the effects of bortezomib on the expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and Cox-2 genes in Jurkat cells.Results:The inhibition rates of 5ng/mL, 10ng/mL, 20ng/mL and 40ng/mL bortezomib on Jurkat cells at 24h were (13.23±0.71)%, (39.53±0.95)%, (53.07±1.12)%, (60.43±0.75)%, respectively, and the inhibition rates at 48h were (25.20±0.96)%, (52.80±1.30)%, (60.67±0.64)%, (75.10±1.35)%, respectively.The inhibitory rates of proliferation of Jurkat cells at 72h were (38.37±0.93)%, (60.94±0.85)%, (73.83±5.08)%, (88.37±1.55)%, respectively.The inhibitory rates of proliferation of Jurkat cells increased with the increase of drug concentration and the prolongation of action time, and the differences were statistically significant( F=1 602.202, 1 085.089, 181.034, all P<0.05). Bortezomib (5ng/mL, 10ng/mL, 20ng/mL and 40ng/mL) treatment for 24h, 48h and 72h, the apoptosis rate of Jurkat cells increased with the increase of drug concentration and the prolongation of action time, the differences were statistically significant( F=1 288.571, 223.378, 251.175, all P<0.05). The expression of Bax mRNA in Jurkat cells increased with the increase of drug concentration and time( F=258.446, 518.929, 276.764, all P<0.05). The Bcl-2 mRNA and Cox-2 mRNA expression levels decreased with the increase of drug concentration and the prolongation of action time( FBcl-2 mRNA=236.848, 264.849, 343.968, FCox-2 mRNA=679.404, 1288.681, 1541.850, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Bortezomib can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of Jurkat cells.Bortezomib can increase the expression of Bax mRNA and decrease the expression of Bcl-2 and Cox-2 mRNA, which may be the molecular mechanism of bortezomib to promote apoptosis.
