چکیده

The human leukemia cell line K562 was derived from a patient with chronic granulocytic leukemia. This cell line has subsequently been shown to possess phenotypic markers typical of erythroid and myeloid cells. Using a rabbit antiserum directed against purified platelet glycoproteins (PGPs), we have obtained evidence for the constitutive expression of PGPs on the surface of K562 cells. PGPs expressed have been tentatively identified as IIa and III based on their apparent migration in a 7% sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel. K562 may become an important tool for the study of early events involved in megakaryocytic differentiation.

Bcr-abl Silencing by Specific Small-Interference RNA Expression Vector as a Potential Treatment for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is the mechanism of gene silencing-mediated messenger RNA degradation by small interference RNA (siRNA), which becomes a powerful tool for in vivo research, especially in the areas of cancer. In this research, the potential use of an expression vector as a specific siRNA producing tool for silencing of Bcr-abl in K562 cell line has been investigated. Methods:...

Introduction: Leukemia is a heterogeneous malignant disease in which progression at the level of CD34+ cells has a major impact in drug resistance and relapse. The multi-drug resistance gene product, P-glycoprotein is an inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), such as Survivin that are expressed simultaneously with several putative drug resistance parameters in CD34+ leukemia cells. In fact, IA...

Investigation of SMAD3 and SMAD4 genes expression in CML patients and K562 cell line and association with chronic myeloid leukemia

Aim and Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder with cytogenetic characterization of the abnormal Philadelphia chromosome. This chromosome results from a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22. This is an important signaling pathway in the process of cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis, as well as the pathogenesis of TGF-β disease, i...

Evaluation of the Effect of Curcumin and Imatinib on BCR-ABL Expression Gene in Chronic Human k562 Cells

Background and Aims: Detection of overexpression in tumor-inhibiting genes provides valuable information for leukemia diagnosis and prognosis. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a stem cell disorder determined by a well-defined genetic anomaly involving BCR-ABL translocation in the Philadelphia chromosome. Curcumin is a chemo-preventive agent for the primary cancer targets, such as the breast, p...
