RESUMEN
Objective To explore the silence of B-cell specific Moloney murine leukaemia virus insertion site 1(Bmi-1)by RNA interference on the proliferation of human leukemia cell line K562 and its mechanisms.Methods Small interfering RNA(siRNA)targeting Bmi-1 gene was designed and double-stranded siRNA was chemically synthesized.After double-stranded siRNA was transfected into K562 cells with Lipofectamine 2000,the proliferation of K562 cells was detected by MTT colorimetry,cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry,and the expression of Bmi-1 and P16 were analyzed by Western blotting.Results The siRNA targeting human Bmi-1 gene effectively prolonged the double time of K562 cells,increased the percentage of cells at G1 phase,and the expression of Bmi-1 was significantly down-regulated but the expression of P16 was up-regulated.Conclusion The siRNA targeting human Bmi-1 gene inhibits the proliferation of K562 cells,and up-regulates the expression of P16 in the cells.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate inhibitory effects of matrine (Ma) combined with vincristine (VCR), cytosine arabinoside (Ara-c), harringtonine (HRT), adriamycin (ADM), and daunorubicin (DNR) on proliferation of K562 cells. Methods MTT colorimetric assay was used to detect the inhibition rate of Ma combined with antineoplastic on K562 cells. Results The proliferation of K562 cells was inhibited by Ma at the concentration of 160 ?g/ml to 400 ?g/ml. The inhibitory rates of Ma combined respectively with VCR, Ara-c, HRT, ADM, and DNR were significantly higher than those of VCR, Ara-c, or HRT alone (P0.05). Conclusion Ma can inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The anti-proliferation effect of VCR, Ara-c, and HRT on K562 cells could be enhanced by Ma.
RESUMEN
Objective:To research the effect of total saponins Panax ginseng (TSPG) on the drug resistance of human erythroleukemia drug resistant cell line K562/A02 and its mechanism.Methods:The sensitivity of TSPG-treated K562/A02 cells to anticancer drugs was determined by MTT assay.Immunohistochemistry method was used to measure mdr-1 gene product P-gp and apoptosis regulation gene product bcl-2 expression. RT-PCR technique was used to examine mdr-1 mRNA expression.Results:In non-toxic dosages, TSPG strengthened the toxicity effect of doxorubicin on K562/A02 cells, while the reversing effect of TSPG was related to its concentration. Decrease in P-gp expression in K562/A02 cells was marked ( P O. 05)after 3 days of TSPG(150?g/ml)treatment.Decrease in mdr-1 mRNA expression was significant ( P
