Abstract

STAT5 (signal transducers and activators of transcription) are suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of leukaemia and lymphoma; however, their influence on the growth of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cells is not clear enough. The aim of our study was to analyse the function of STAT5 proteins in the proliferation and apoptosis of selected cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cell lines (HUT 78; PB-1; HUT 102B), using antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) strategy. RT-PCR and Western blot were applied to analyse the expression of STAT5 after incubation with antisense ODN (AS ODN). The effect of ODN pretreatment on the cell clonogenecity was analysed in methylcellulose cultures. The process of apoptosis was estimated using two different flow cytometry (FACScan) methods: (1) combined Annexin V/propidium iodide staining, (2) the TUNEL method. Perturbation of STAT5 expression reduced the proliferation of the PB-1 cells after a 24-h exposure to antisense ODNs. Prolonged exposure (72 h) decreased the growth of each examined cell line, especially after antisense STAT5A (AS STAT5A) treatment. Incubation with AS STAT5 induced apoptosis in the population of HUT 78 and PB-1 cells. STAT5s may play a significant role in the growth and the process of ...Continue Reading
