英文摘要Telomerase is an important ribonucleoprotein enzyme involved in cellular proliferation and senescence. Activation of telomerase has been detected in a vast majority of human cancer cells. In this article, we demonstrated that Interleukin-2 (IL-2) which is the pivotal cytokine in the immune system could stimulate the activity of telomerase in the cultured BA/F3beta cells. It was also found that the level of IL-2-induced telomerase activity was decreased by the treatment with chemical oxidant in vitro. Since IL-2 stimulation produces a oxidative shift of the intracellular environment, the activation and maintenance of telomerase in this oxidative circumstance requires particular protection. Here we proved the redox factor-1 (Ref-1) protein was involved in this process. The addition of GST-Ref-1 protein increased the level of IL-2-induced telomerase activity in the TRAP assay, while elimination of the endogenous Ref-1 protein by immunodepletion decreased it. Consistent with these in vitro results, IL-2-induced telomerase activity could be enhanced by transient overexpression of Ref-1 protein in BA/F3beta cells. Taken together, these findings proved that Ref-1 protein benefits the activation of telomerase activity in the oxidative microenvironment of the BA/F3beta cells stimulated by IL-2.
