Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the effects of RAB32 on the proliferation and migration of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) K562 cells. METHODS: The expression of RAB32 in newly diagnosed CML patients, healthy volunteers and K562 cell lines were assessed using Western blot and qRT-PCR. In addition, RAB32 gene expression was knocked down using RAB32-shRNA, and then the cell cycle variation of K562 cell was analyzed by flow cytometry. The expressions of cell proliferation-related genes (C-myc and CyclinD1) and migration-associated genes (MMP-3 and MMP-9) were assessed using Western blot and qRT-PCR. RESULTS:The results of Western blot and qRT-PCR showed that RAB32 were highly expressed in both CML patients and the K562 cell line (P<0.01). Cell cycle analysis showed that compared with NC-shRNA group, the RAB32-shRNA group had decreased proportions of S-phase and G2/M-phase, especially S-phase cells (P<0.01). The protein levels of C-myc, Cyclin D1, MMP-3 and MMP-9 were significantly down-regulated in K562 cells transfected with RAB32-shRNA compared with NC-shRNA group (P<0.01). The mRNA levels of these four factors were also reduced in RAB32-shRNA group compared to NC-shRNA group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Down-regulation of RAB32 could weaken K562 cell proliferation and migration.
