Septin2在霍奇金淋巴瘤细胞株L428细胞中的表达及其在促进细胞再分化中的作用

OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of GTP binding protein 2 (Septin2) in the differentiation of Hodgkin's Lymphoma H/RS cells (Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg) to B lymphocytes. METHODS: The expressions of Septin2 mRNA and protein in Hodgkin's Lymphoma cell line L428 which CD99 was overexpressed were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot,confocal laser microscopy and immunocytochemistry (ICC). RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to assay the expression of Septin2 after Septin2-siRNA transfected into L428 cells, and confocal laser microscopy, CCK8 assay and flow cytometry were used to analyze the changes of F-actin cytoskeleton,cell proliferation ability and immunophenotype. RESULTS: The low expressions of Septin2 mRNA and protein were detected in L428 cell line after overexpresion of CD99 (0.329±0.019 vs 1.000, P=0.001) and Septin2 siRNA transfection (0.276±0.025 vs 1.000, P=0.000) compared to controls. Compared to vector group, Septin2 siRNA transfection could lead to decrease of cell size, decline of proliferation activity (F=204.927, P<0.001) and reconstruction of F-actin cytoskeleton, and the expression of specific antigen markers CD30 and CD15 of H/RS cell decreased, B cell antigen marker CD19 as well as germinal center marker CD10 and early plasma cell marker CD38 were up-regulated. CONCLUSION: Septin2 interference promotes H/RS cells' redifferentiation to B lymphocytes
