Aim:
Investigate the molecular mechanism of regulating survivin expression and related signal transduction pathway, molecular cascade reaction and biological effects in activated PBMC.
Methods:
The expression of survivin and related proteins were detected by Western blot in PBMC stimulated by PHA and rhIL-2 with or without JAK inhibitor-AG490 treatment, and FCM was performed to analyze cell cycle and cell division.
Results:
Our results indicated that molecular and cellular reactions in PBMC activated by PHA and rhIL-2 were dependent on time series. At first, the phosphorylation of Stat3 and Stat5 were observed, then, protein levels of CyclinD3 and CyclinE increased, and the stimulated PBMC began to enter to S phage with survivin protein expression was initiated, which at last resulted in cell division with dramatically increasing expression of survivin protein. AG490 could significantly inhibit all these reactions but had no effect on the expressions of the cell cycle inhibitor-P21 and anti-apoptosis protein-Bcl-2.
Conclusion:
The expression of survivin in stimulated PBMC was dependent on the primarily activated JAK-STAT pathway, which upregulated CyclinD3 and CyclinE protein levels, initiated the cell cycle progression, and induced cell cycle-dependent survivin expression, and so survivin was involved in cell division and cell proliferation.
