Effects of oxymatrine on the proliferation of diffuse large B lymphoma cells by regulating PD-L1
Objective To investigate the effects of oxymatrine on proliferation and apoptosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and its molecular mechanism.Methods Human diffuse large B lymphoma cells OCI-LY19 were randomly divided into control group(normal culture),experimental-L group(25.00 µmol·L-1 oxymatrine),experimental-M group(50.00 μmol·L-1 oxymatrine),experimental-H group(100.00 µmol·L-1 oxymatrine),Oxymatrine+si-NC group(transfected with si-NC+100.00 μmol·L-1oxymatrine),Oxymatrine+si-PD-L1 group[transfected with si-programmed death receptor ligand 1(PD-L1)+100.00 μmol·L-1 oxymatrine],Oxymatrine+Vector group(transfected with si-NC+100.00 μmol·L-1 oxymatrine)and oxymatrine+PD-L1 group(transfected with PD-L1+100.00 μmol·L-1 oxymatrine).5-acetylidene-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)assay was used to detect cell proliferation;Western blot assay was used to detect protein expression;flow cytometry assay was used to detect cell apoptosis.Results The EdU cell proliferation rates in control group,experimental-H group,oxymatrine+si-NC group,oxymatrine+si-PD-L1 group,oxymatrine+Vector group and oxymatrine+PD-L1 group were(33.88±2.79)%,(15.23±1.32)%,(15.84±1.58)%,(10.13±0.90)%,(16.14±1.20)%and(20.84±1.88)%,respectively;the expressions of Cyclin-dependent kinase 4(CDK4)protein were 0.92±0.11,0.37±0.04,0.35±0.04,0.24±0.03,0.38±0.06 and 0.71±0.06,respectively;the apoptosis rates were(3.20±0.07)%,(25.35±2.01)%,(24.81±1.91)%,(30.27±1.65)%,(24.39±2.73)%and(17.97±1.27)%,respectively.The above indicators:Experimental-H group were compared with the control group respectively,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05);there were significant differences between oxymatrine+si-PD-L1 group and oxymatrine+si-NC group(all P<0.05);there were significant differences between oxymatrine+PD-L1 group and oxymatrine+Vector group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Oxymatrine can inhibit the proliferation of OCI-LY19 cells and induce apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of PD-L1.PD-L1 may be a potential target of oxymatrine in the treatment of diffuse large B lymphoma.
