Loss of thyroid hormone receptor interactor 13 inhibits cell proliferation and survival in human chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The genetic regulation of apoptosis and cell proliferation plays a role in the growth of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common form of leukemia in the Western hemisphere. Although thyroid hormone receptor interactors (TRIPs) are known to play roles in cell cycle, the potential involvement of the novel family member TRIP13 in CLL has not yet been investigated.

Methods

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect expression of TRIP13 in 36 CLL patients and 33 healthy donors CD19+ B cells. Loss-of-function (siRNA) assays were used to alter TRIP13 expression levels. The effect of TRIP13 on cell proliferation and apoptosis was measured by MTT, Annexin V-based flow cytometry and Caspase 3/7 activity assay. Affymetrix GeneChip and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (
