title: [Effects of SODD and survivin on leukemia cell apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutic drugs].
abstract: This study was aimed to investigate the changes of silencer of death domains (SODD), survivin, caspase 3, caspase 8 and caspase 9 in the apoptotic process of human leukemia cells induced by chemotherapeutic drugs in order to explore the molecular mechanism of apoptotic modulatory genes and to search for the new target of chemotherapeutic drugs. After Jurkat cells were induced by chemotherapeutic drugs, the translocated phosphatidylserine was labeled with annexin V/PI, and the apoptosis incidence was measured by FCM; The expression changes of SODD, caspase 3, caspase 8 and caspase 9 were determined by Western blot; the changes of survivin mRNA and protein were determined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry SABC method respectively. The results indicated that high expressions of SODD and survivin could inhibit apoptotic signaling pathway; VCR down-regulated the function of SODD protein and effectively induced the apoptosis of Jurkat cells in a time-dependent manner and activates caspase 3 through the death receptor-mediated activation of caspase 8, in which caspase 9 and survivin were not degraded. It is concluded that SODD participates in the apoptotic process induced by VCR which induces the Jurkat cell apoptosis by downregulating expression of SODD protein and priming death receptor pathway. In the apoptotic process, the mitochondrion apoptotic pathway is not trigged.
