MiR-29 Induces K562 Cell Apoptosis by Down-Regulating FoxM1

چکیده
BACKGROUND Leukemia seriously threatens human life and health. MicroRNAs can regulate cell growth, proliferation, and death. This article investigated the role of miR-29 on regulating leukemia cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS miR-29 and scramble miRNA were transfected to K562 cells. MTT assay, colony formation assay, caspase-3 activity detection, and flow cytometry were applied to test miR-29 effect on cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis. Western blot was used to detect Forkhead box protein M1 (FoxM1) protein expression. After we transfected miR-29, K562 cells were transfected with FoxM1 siRNA to test cell apoptosis. RESULTS K562 cell growth and proliferation were inhibited after transfection with miR-29. Apoptosis phenome and caspase-3 activation were observed. FoxM1 level decreased. SiRNA FoxM1 enhanced miR-29-induced K562 cell apoptosis. FoxM1 overexpression suppressed miR-26-induced K562 cell apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS MiR-29 restrained K562 cell growth and proliferation. MiR-29 induced K562 cell apoptosis through down-regulating FoxM1.

MicroRNA-370 directly targets FOXM1 to inhibit cell growth and metastasis in osteosarcoma cells.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding, small RNAs, which play a critical role in regulating varieties of the biological and pathologic processes. Several reports have indicated that miR-370 acts as a tumor suppressor in varieties of tumors. However, the roles of miR-370 in osteosarcoma have not been reported. In this study, our objective was to explore the biological functions and its m...
متن کاملmiR-155 effectively induces apoptosis in K562 Philadelphia positive cell line through upregulation of p27kip1
Introduction: Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder caused by the Philadelphia chromosome translocation, at (9; 22), which results in BCR-ABL fusion tyrosine kinase oncoprotein. This fusion induces down-regulation of miR-155. Upregulation of miR-155 can influence cell fate via the effect on p27kip1 and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to induce apoptosis in K56...
متن کاملInduction of K562 Cell Apoptosis by As4S4 via Down-Regulating miR181
BACKGROUND Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) has unsatisfactory treatment efficacy at present. As the major component of red orpiment, tetra-arsenic tetra-sulfide (As4S4) has been recently used in treating leukemia, but with unclear mechanism targeting CML. MicroRNA (miR) is a group of endogenous non-coding RNAs regulating pathogenesis. MiR181 has been shown to exert important roles in tumor p...

Objective(s): Osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by degradation of articular cartilage, is a leading cause of disability. As the only cell type present in cartilage, chondrocytes play curial roles in the progression of OA. In our study, we aimed to explore the roles of miR-23b in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory injury. Materials and Methods: LPS-induced cell injury of ATDC5 ce...
