OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect from exposure to 1,4-benzoquinone (1,4-BQ) and of low expression of calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase 2 beta (Camk2b) on mitochondrial toxicity in K562 cells. METHODS:Expression of Camk2b mRNA in K562 cells was determined after 1,4-BQ exposure. Then,the appropriate concentrations of Camk2b inhibitor,KN93,was selected. The gene and protein expressions of Camk2b were verified by real-time PCR and Western blot,respectively,and the low expression of Camk2b was successfully constructed. After K562 cells were exposed to 0,10,and 20 μmol/L 1,4-BQ,the following assays were conducted:cell proliferation,reactive oxygen species,ATP production,mitochondrial membrane potential,calcium ion and apoptosis. The same assays were conducted in K562 cells and control cells which showed low expression of Camk2b. RESULTS:Expression of Camk2b mRNA in K562 cells was reduced after 1,4-BQ exposure. Compared with the control cells,significant changes of the followings were detected:reduction of the ATP production of Camk2b low expression cells,reduction of the mitochondrial membrane potentials,increase of the calcium ion concentrations and increase of the apoptotic rates (all P < 0.01). After 1,4-BQ exposure and compared with the same concentrations of 1,4-BQ-treated control cells,significant changes were observed:increase of the ROS level of Camk2b low expression cells,reduction of ATP production,decrease of mitochondrial membrane potentials,increased of the calcium concentrations and increase of the apoptotic rates (P < 0.05 or 0.01). CONCLUSION:After the K562 cells were exposed to 1,4-BQ,expression of Camk2b mRNA was reduced. Compared with the control cells,Camk2b low-expression cells showed more obvious mitochondrial damage after the 1,4-BQ exposure and Camk2b was apparently important for antioxidant damage to these cells.
