Popis: Objective: To explore whether UVRAG regulates mitochondrial autophagy via BNIP3L in K562 cellsMaterial and methods: We designed various assays to verify the relation between UVRAG and BNIP3L, we estabilished a mitochondrial autophagy model of K562 cells by CCCP, a mitochondrial autophagy inducer, and regulated the expression of UVRAG by cells transfection. Then we detected the expression of the BINP3L and autophagy-related proteins LC3-II/LC3-Ⅰ and P62 by Western blot. The changes of ROS, mitochondrial mass, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were detected by flow cytometry technology.Results: We found that CCCP could induce K562 cells mitochondrial autophagy, along with the change of MMP, mitochondrial mass and accumulation of ROS, also our experiment proved that UVRAG-Knockdown could reverse this phenomenon. Investigating the pathway of mitochondrial autophagy revealed UVRAG knockdown was accompanied by a decrease in BNIP3L and LC3 expression, a increase in P62 during mitochondrial autophagy. Conclusion: In our study, the results suggested that UVRAG may regulate mitochondrial autophagy of K562 cells via targeting BINP3L, which may be a potential target for the treatment of CML.
