目的:探讨同源结构域相互作用蛋白激酶2(HIPK2)对缺氧复氧(H/R)诱导的NRK-52E肾小管上皮细胞活力和凋亡及JAK2/STAT3信号通路的影响.方法:通过LipofectamineTM2000将靶向HIPK2基因的小干扰RNA(siRNA)转染NRK-52E细胞,并设置正常对照组(control组)和阴性对照组(HIPK2-NC组),Western blot法检测转染48 h的效率;细胞经H/R处理后,通过CCK-8法检测细胞活力,流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡率和Ca2+荧光强度;Western blot法检测Ki67、cleaved caspase-3、caspase-12、Bcl-2、Bax、 p-JAK2和p-STAT3的蛋白水平.结果:靶向HIPK2的siRNA转染NRK-52E细胞后,HIPK2的蛋白表达显著低于control组(P<0.05).与control组比较,H/R组的细胞活力及 Ki67 和 Bcl-2 的蛋白表达均显著降低,细胞凋亡率、 Ca2+荧光强度值及 cleaved caspase-3、caspase-12、Bax、p-JAK2和p-STAT3的蛋白水平均显著升高(P<0.05);与H/R组比较,HIPK2-siRNA+H/R组的细胞活力及Ki67和Bcl-2的蛋白表达均显著升高,细胞凋亡率、Ca2+荧光强度值及cleaved caspase-3、 caspase-12、Bax、p-JAK2和p-STAT3的蛋白水平均显著降低(P<0.05).结论:抑制HIPK2基因表达可促进H/R诱导的NRK-52E肾小管上皮细胞生长,降低凋亡率,其机制可能与下调JAK2/STAT3信号通路相关蛋白水平有关.%AIM:To investigate the effect of homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) on the viabi-lity, apoptosis and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in NRK-52E renal tubular epithelial cells induced by hypoxia and reox-ygenation (H/R). METHODS:HIPK2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was transfected into NRK-52E cells by Lipo-fectamineTM 2000, and normal control group (control group) and negative control group (HIPK2-NC group) were set up. After H/R, the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, the apoptotic rate and Ca2+ fluorescence intensity were ana-lyzed by flow cytometry, and the protein levels of Ki67, cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bcl-2, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with control group, the protein expression of HIPK2 in the NRK-52E cells was significantly decreased after transfection with HIPK2 siRNA (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in H/R group were also significantly decreased, and the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with H/R group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in HIPK2-siRNA+H/R group were significantly increased, while the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence inten-sity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Inhibition of HIPK2 gene expression promotes H/R-induced growth of NRK-52E renal tubular epi-thelial cells, and reduces the apoptosis. The mechanism is related to down-regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.
