Influence of Gleevec on expression of miR-146a,miR-29b and DNMT in K562 cells / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the changes of microRNA (miR)-146a ,miR-29b expression levels and the 3 kinds of meth-ylase DNMT1 ,DNMT3a and DNMT3b levels in K562 cell lines after BCR/ABL inhibitor Gleevec treatment .Methods The half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50 ) of Gleevec on K562 cells was detected by the MTT method .The stem loop primers method and the fluorogenic quantitative PCR were adopted to detect miRNAs and the methylase gene level .Results IC50 of Gleevec acting on K562 cells was 40 .85μmol/L .After Gleevec action ,miR-29b showed the increasing trend ,but 3 kinds of methylase expression level were decreased to some extent .Gleevec could significantly increase the miR-146a level in K562 cells(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Gleevec can influence the expression of miR-146a ,miR-29b and DNMTs levels in K562 cells .
