Abstract:
To investigate the effects of PML-RARα antisense on the growth,cell cycle and apoptosis of NB4 cells. Methods: Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry, and leukemic colony forming unit was exammed by methylcellulose assays. Results: PML-RARα antisence (FUAS) could inhibited the growth, and formation of acute myelocytic leukemia colony forming unit (AML-CFU)in NB4 cells; GM-CSF could enhance AML-CFU formation and antagonized the effect of FUAS on AML-CFU formation inhibition. The shorter the time of incubation with FUAS was, the more markedly GM-CSF enhanced the AML-CFU formation. At 7 days, 9 days of treatment with FUAS percentage of apoptotic cells was 41.5%, 34.2% respectively. Reduction of S phase and increase of G2/M phase at 5 days, significant increase of G0/G1 phase with S phase at 7 days. Conclusion: PML-RARα antisence can inhibit the cell growth and induce cell apoptosis of NB4 cells.
