Abstract
Objective
To elucidate the role of USP13 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by investigating its effects on cell growth, apoptosis and autophagy, and to explore the underlying mechanisms.
Methods
The expression of USP13 in AML cells was assessed using quantitative PCR (qPCR) and immunoblotting. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Edu staining were employed to evaluate the impact of USP13 on AML cell growth. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and immunostaining assays were conducted to examine the effects of USP13 on apoptosis and autophagy in AML cells, and immunoblot assays were performed to determine the potential underlying mechanistic pathway.
Results
USP13 expression was significantly elevated in AML cells, correlating with enhanced cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis. Moreover, USP13 promoted autophagy in AML cells. Mechanistically, USP13 was found to be associated with upregulating ATG5 expression, which promoted AML progression.
Conclusion
USP13 promotes AML cell growth and autophagy by upregulating ATG5.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
