Abstract
Homeodomain-only protein homeobox (HOPX) mainly exerts its transcriptional repression by physically sequestering the serum co-repressor and recruiting histone deacetylase (HDAC), possessing important potential as a prognostic gene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). HDACs play crucial roles in cell growth, gene regulation, and metabolism, and they are also important factors in promoting AML progression. Therefore, this project attempts to investigate whether HOPX affects AML progression by interacting with HDAC2 protein. Bioinformatics analysis was employed to identify potential prognostic genes in AML. Flow cytometry and MTT assays were performed to analyze the cellular biological functions of the AML prognostic marker HOPX. The interaction network of HOPX was analyzed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes database, and the interaction between HOPX and HDAC2 was observed using endogenous and exogenous immunoprecipitation. HOPX is highly expressed in AML cells. Further research uncovered that low expression of HOPX can repress the proliferation activity, anti-apoptotic ability, and differentiation blockage of AML cells. Moreover, mechanistically, HOPX induced AML differentiation blockage and malignant progression through interaction with HDAC. HOPX can serve as a prognostic marker for AML and can interact with HDAC2 to induce AML differentiation blockage and malignant progression.
纯同源异构体蛋白(HOPX)主要通过与血清共抑制因子的物理隔离和招募组蛋白去乙酰化酶(HDAC)来发挥其转录抑制作用,具有作为急性髓性白血病(AML)预后基因的重要潜力。HDAC 在细胞生长、基因调控和新陈代谢中起着至关重要的作用,也是促进 AML 进展的重要因素。因此,本项目试图研究HOPX是否通过与HDAC2蛋白相互作用来影响AML的进展。本研究采用生物信息学分析来确定急性髓细胞性白血病的潜在预后基因。流式细胞术和MTT试验分析了AML预后标志物HOPX的细胞生物学功能。使用检索相互作用基因数据库的搜索工具分析了HOPX的相互作用网络,并使用内源和外源免疫沉淀技术观察了HOPX与HDAC2之间的相互作用。HOPX 在 AML 细胞中高表达。进一步研究发现,低表达的HOPX可抑制AML细胞的增殖活性、抗凋亡能力和分化阻滞。此外,从机理上讲,HOPX通过与HDAC相互作用,诱导AML分化受阻和恶性进展。HOPX可作为急性髓细胞性白血病的预后标志物,并可与HDAC2相互作用,诱导急性髓细胞性白血病分化受阻和恶性进展。
