[The Mechanism of Resveratrol on Acute T-Lymphocyte Leukemia through IL-7-Mediated JAK / STAT Signaling Pathway]

OBJECTIVE

To explore the roles and relative mechanism of resveratrol against T-ALL through detecting the signaling molecules in IL-7 and JAK/STAT pathway.

METHODS

In vitro experiments, Molt4 cells were divided into 3 groups, including the control group, the DMSO group and resveratrol-treated group (Res group). The control group cells without any treatment, the DMSO group cells treated with 0.05% DMSO for 48 hours, the Res group cells treated with 200 μmol/L resveratrol for 48 hours. In vivo experiments, female C57BL/6J mice (6-8 weeks) were randomly divided into the control group, the T-ALL model group (T-ALL group), and Res treatment group (Res group). The control group mice treated with 0.05% DMSO by intragastric treatment, the T-ALL group mice treated with 0.05% DMSO by intragastric treatment, and the Res group mice treated with 10 mg/ml resveratrol. Expression of IL-7, IL-7R and Pim1 mRNA in the cells and mice spleen tissues were detected by RT-qPCR. Cell proliferation ability was detected by CCK-8. The expression of JAK1, JAK3, STAT5, phosphorylated JAK1 (p-JAK1), phosphorylated JAK3 (p-JAK3), phosphorylated STAT5 (p-STAT5) and Pim1 were detected by Western blot. ELISA was used to detect the IL-7 and IL-7R in the cells and mice serum of each groups.

RESULTS

Resveratrol could inhibit the proliferation ability of Molt4 cells, decrease the relative levels of p-JAK1, p-JAK3, p-STAT5, Pim1 protein, and the expression levels of Pim1, IL-7 and IL-7R mRNA in cells and mice spleens, reduce the IL-7 and IL-7R in Molt4 cells and mice serum.

CONCLUSION

Resveratrol may inhibite IL-7-medicated JAK/STAT signaling pathway to reduce the expression of target protein Pim1 to further exert its anti-T-ALL effects.
