چکیده
in many acute leukemias, normal differentiation does not occur. however, in many cell lines derived from hematologic malignancies, differentiation or programmed cell death (apoptosis) can be induced by variety of agents including: vitamin analogs, demethylating agents, cyclic amp analogs and anti-proliferative agents. to the best of our knowledge there has been not any study specifically to analyze apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects of 4-hpr (a vitamin analog) in nb-4 cell line. to test whether this drug has activity in acute myeloid leukemia (aml), we first analyzed the anti-proliferative effect of 4-hpr in one aml cell line (nb-4) using mtt assay. next we tested whether this drug induced apoptotic cell death. the ability of this compound to induce apoptosis of cancer cells was examined by annexin v-fitc assay using flow cytometry. we also analyzed the cell cycle progression by pi staining using flow cytometry. using mtt assay, nb-4 cells exhibited increased inhibition of proliferation at micromolar concentrations of 4-hpr at 24, 48 and 72 hrs post treatment. flow cytometry analysis indicates that 4-hpr is a potent inducer of in vitro apoptotic cell death, and cell cycle analysis revealed an increase in s phase population. in total, the results indicate that 4-hpr is a strong inhibitor of aml cell proliferation and a potent inducer of in vitro apoptotic cell death. further studies are required to evaluate the in vitro effects of 4-hpr in aml blasts derived from aml patients.

متن کاملMir-55 inhibition can reduce cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in Jurkat (Acute T cell Leukemia) cell line
Background MicroRNAs are small and non-coding RNA molecules with approximately 22 nt in length that cause inhibition of translation or degradation of mRNA. MiR-155 is a kind of molecule with different functions, such as its role in proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, differentiation, and immunity. One of its best known functions is apoptosis that affects on caspase-3 activity. The main aim...
متن کاملOverexpression of MiR-138 Inhibits Cell Growth and Induces Caspase-mediated Apoptosis in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Cell Line
Dysregulated expression of miRNAs can play a vital role in pathogenesis of leukemia. The shortened telomere length, and elevated telomerase activity in acute promyelocytic leukemia cells are mainly indicative of extensive proliferative activity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of overexpression of miR-138 on telomerase activity, and cell proliferation of acute promyelocytic leukemia ...

متن کاملQuercetin induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in CD133+ cancer stem cells of human colorectal HT29 cancer cell line and enhances anticancer effects of doxorubicin
Objective(s):The colorectal cancer stem cells (CSCs) with the CD133+ phenotype are a rare fraction of cancer cells with the ability of self-renewal, unlimited proliferation and resistance to treatment. Quercetin has anticancer effects with the advantage of exhibiting low side effects. Therefore, we evaluated the anticancer effects of quercetin and doxorubicin (Dox) in HT29 cancer cells and its ...
متن کاملAnalysis of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induced by RCAS1.
A tumor-associated antigen RCAS1 (receptor binding cancer antigen expressed on SiSo cells) induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis to a putative RCAS1 receptor (RCAS1-R) expressing cells such as T, B, and natural killer cells. Its expression is related with clinical poor prognosis of some malignant tumors. It is suggested that the expression of RCAS1 in tumor cells plays an important role in ev...
