OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of β-arrestin1 gene on senescence of T-ALL cells and its possible mechanism.@*METHODS@#The bone marrow specimens of T-ALL patients and controls were collected, the expression of β-arrestin1 and β-arrestin1 in the T-ALL patients was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively, and the relation of β-arrestin1 expression with the clinical pathologic characteristics and the prognosis of T-ALL patients was analyzed statistically. The stable Jurkat cell line with knocked down or overexpressed β-arrestin1 was constructed, the CCK method was used to detect the Jurkat cell number, the β-gal staining was used to analyze the effect of β-arrestin1 on senescence of Jurkat cells, the cross analysis of RNA-Seg data and KEGG data was performed for screening the possible signaling pathway, and Western blot was performed for varifying the key sites of signaling pathway.@*RESULTS@#The β-arrestin1 expression in specimens of T-ALL patients decreased (P<0.01), moreover the β-arrestin1 expression negatively related with peripheral blood cell number (r=-0.601), the blasts in peripheral blood (r=-0.516) and extramedullary infiltration (r=-0.359), while positively related with the response to chemotherapy (r=0.393). The detection of stable Jurkat cell line with knocked-down and overexpressed β-arrestin1 found that the β-arrestin 1 could decrease the Jurkat cell number and accelarate the senescence of Jurkat cells (P<0.05). The cross analysis of RNA-Seg data and KEGG data showed that the senescence of T-ALL cells may be regulated via RAS-P16-PRb-E2F1 by β-arrestin 1. Western bolt confirmed that β-arrestin1 promoted the expression of Ras and p16, and decreased the expression of pRB and E2F1 (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#β-arrestin1 accelerates the senescence of Jurkat cells via Ras-p16-pRb-E2F1, and delays the progression in T-ALL, which may provide a new hypothesis for the pathogenesis of T-ALL.
