摘要

Background

The role of the complement system and its membrane-bound regulatory proteins (mCRPs) in the pathogenesis of cancer is still a debatable issue. The current study aimed to evaluate the role of the complement regulatory protein, the decay-accelerating factor (CD55), in the pathogenesis of acute leukemia.

Methods

CD55 gene expression was assessed in the peripheral blood of 34 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 26 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and 30 healthy controls by qRT-PCR. Also, CD55 gene knockdown was performed in HSB-2 (ALL cell line) using customized short hairpin RNA (shRNA). Flowcytometric analysis was done to ensure successful transfection, and MTT assay was performed to evaluate the cell viability post-transfection and silencing of CD55.

Results

There was a significant downregulation of CD55 in acute leukemia patients compared to the healthy controls (p < 0.001) with RQ values of AML, and ALL patients were 0.2499 ± 0.07427 and 0.2581 ± 0.09467, respectively. The MTT assay showed a significantly reduced viability of HSB-2 cells following posttranscriptional silencing of CD55 (p < 0.001) by 78.6% as compared to the non-transfected or mock-transfected cells. In the presence of human serum, there was a significant reduction in cell viability by 66.3% as compared to non-transfected controls (p = 0.01). Regarding the cells co-transfected with CD55 and CD46 silencing plasmids, cell viability was significantly decreased by 70.6% compared to non-transfected cells.

Conclusion

CD55 was significantly downregulated in acute leukemia. However, its in vitro silencing showed significant reduction in cell viability, giving it a dual opposing role in cancer.
