| Abstrakt: | Objective: This study aimed to explore the candidate genes and their potential mechanism in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL). Materials and Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened from GSE67684 (treatment), GSE28460 (relapse), and GSE60926 (relapse). The expression of AEBP1 at different stages of cALL was analyzed followed by functional enrichment analysis of its co-expressed genes. Expression of AEBP1 was determined in different leukemia cell lines and knocked down in Jurkat cells. Cell behaviors as well as the expression of p53, Bax, and Bcl-2 were also evaluated after silencing AEBP1 in Jurkat cells. Results: Two clusters: Profile 1 (downward) and Profile 26 (upward) were identified in GSE67684, and 53 Profile 1-specific DEGs were identified compared with DEGs in GSE28460 and GSE60926. AEBP1 was one of these genes and was significantly downregulated after treatment but upregulated in relapse samples. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that AEBP1 co-expressed genes were significantly enriched in GO terms including immune response, blood coagulation etc. and in the hematopoietic cell lineage and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. AEBP1 was significantly increased in leukemia cell lines, especially in Jurkat cells, compared with the Pbmc cells. Silencing AEBP1 markedly reduced proliferation and induced cell cycle arrest in Jurkat cells, but also promoted apoptosis of Jurkat cells. Silencing AEBP1 also inhibited the expression of p53 and Bcl-2 but promoted Bax in Jurkat cells. Conclusions: AEBP1 was highly-expressed in the diagnosis and relapse cALL, and silencing AEBP1 significantly reduced proliferation but promoted apoptosis in Jurkat cells via a p53-dependent pathway. |
