Research Abstract

難治性17;19転座白血病(t(17;19)^+ALL)でアポトーシス抑制因子survivinが高発現している。このt(17;19)^+ALL におけるsurvivin発現機構とアポトーシス抑制機構について解析を実施した。siRNA法を用いたsurvivinのノックダウンではt(17;19)^+ALL特異的にアポトーシスが誘導できた。survivinはcaspase依存性と非依存性の坑アポトーシス抑制機構が存在する。t(17;19)^+ALLでは主に後者が関与していることを証明した。また、その主な作用機序としてAIFの核内移行の抑制を確認しているが、AIFをノックダウンするとsurvivin機能を抑制してもアポトーシスが抑制することを証明した。
