ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to investigate the effect of recombinant mutant human TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (rmhTRAIL) combined with As(2)O(3) on inducing apoptosis of adriamycin-resistant leukemia cell line K562/A02 (mdr-1(+)). The morphologic changes of cells treated with rmhTRAIL were observed by inverted microscope, taking adriamycin-sensitive cell line K562 (mdr-1(-)) as control; the inhibitory rate of cell proliferation after being treated with rmhTRAIL, As(2)O(3) alone or combined was assayed by MTT method; the apoptosis peaks of K562/AO2 and K562 were quantitatively detected by flow cytometry with PI staining after being treated with rmhTRAIL, As(2)O(3) alone or in combination. The results indicated that the inhibition effect of rmhTRAIL and As(2)O(3) in combination on K562/AO2 and K562 cells was higher than that of riTRAIL and As(2)O(3) alone (p < 0.01), rmhTRAIL combined with As(2)O(3) had synergistic effect in killing K562/AO2 and K562 cells by king's formula. The apoptosis rates of K562/AO2 and K562 cells were 34.93 +/- 0.10% and 10.53 +/- 0.16% (p < 0.01), as well as 5.95 +/- 0.07%, and 3.50 +/- 0.01% (p < 0.05), 50.95 +/- 0.91% and 20.75 +/- 0.95% (p < 0.05) respectively when their cells were treated by rmhTRAIL and As(2)O(3) alone. The apoptosis rate in K562/AO2 group was higher than that in K562 group. It is concluded that rmhTRAIL can induce K562/A02 and K562 cell apoptosis; rmhTRAIL combined As(2)O(3) had synergistic effects; the efficacy of on rmhTRAIL or As(2)O(3) inducing K562/AO2 cell apoptosis is higher than that on their parental cell line K562.
