RNA sequencing of the silenced gene CYTH4 in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines


ABSTRACT: In silico analysis revealed an elevated expression of cytohesin-4 (CYTH4) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, correlating with a poorer prognosis for AML patients. However its role in AML is not fully understood. Our study using loss-of-function assays identified CYTH4 as an oncogene promoting leukemogenesis. Silencing CYTH4 in MV4-11 and THP-1 cells reduced cell proliferation, colony formation, and induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1, whereas overexpression had no significant impact. CYTH4 silencing also increased chemosensitivity to cytarabine. In a THP-1 xenograft model, CYTH4 silencing slowed AML progression and reduced leukemic cell homing and infiltration. Mechanistically, CYTH4 silencing inhibited PI3K/AKT pathway by lowering PIK3R5 and decreased ARF6-GTP levels, as confirmed by pull-down assays. Overexpression of PIK3R5 and AKT activation via SC-79 successfully countered the cellular dysfunctions from CYTH4 silencing. Thus, CYTH4 may play a role in AML progression, and targeting its pathway could be a promising anti-leukemic treatment strategy.
