چکیده

A procedure is described for purifying a low molecular weight peptide that induces differentiation in mouse myeloid leukemia M1 cells. The factor comes from the conditioned medium of macrophage-like cells differentiated from mouse myeloid leukemia M1 cells. The procedure for purification includes gel filtration on Sephadex G-15, anionic exchange chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on a C18 hydrophobic support, and high-performance liquid chromatography gel filtration. The molecular weight of the factor estimated from the amino acid composition was approximately 1280, which agrees well with that obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography gel filtration. The half-maximal concentration of the purified factor for inducing differentiation of M1 cells was approximately 3.2 x 10(-7) M as judged by nitroblue tetrazolium staining ability. The purified factor also inhibits the growth of human leukemia HL-60 cells.

Background: Acute promyelocytic leukemia is the most malignant type of myeloid leukemia characterized by chromosomal translocation (15 and 17) and also blocking the cells in promyelocytic stage of differentiation into myeloid. Nowadays, differentiation therapy is used to treat leukemia. Previous studies indicate that vitamin E inhibits proliferation and also induces differentiation of HL-60 cel...

Overexpression 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 ...

Prognostic Value of EVI1 Expression in Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Systematic Review

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as a distortion of blood cells involves the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. Several studies established the irregular overexpression of specific genes is a common finding in patients with AML. The ectopic viral integration site-1 (EVI1) gene is a proto-oncogene subject to alternative splicing, and encodes a zinc-finger protein that acts as a tr...

Analysis of BAALC gene Expression as prognosis factor in Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Iran

Background:Brain and Acute Leukemia Cytoplasmic (BAALC) is a gene which its expression is confined to progenitor cells; therefore, no expression has been illustrated in mature cells of bone marrow or white blood cells (WBC).  In addition, high BAALC expression is associated with poor prognosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) individuals and is considered as an important risk factor in Cyto...

Investigation of Leptin, Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), and IL-6 Serum Levels in Myeloid Leukemia

Background: Leptin has been implicated in the differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic cells. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) may play an important role, along with Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G- CSF), in the regulation of early hematopoietic stem cells. The aim of the study was to evaluate serum level of leptin, LIF, and IL-6 in myeloid leukemia p...
