Abstract: Objective To study the effects of antisense oligonucleofide(ASODN)fusion gene MLL-AF9 on cell proliferation and apoptosis of human acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 expressing MLL-AF9.Methods ASODN and sense oligonucleotide(SODN)targeting MLL-AF9 were designed,constructed and transfected into THP-1 by lipofectmine.The level of MLL-AF9 mRNA expression was examined by reverse transcription polymerage chain reaction(RT-PCR)and the expression of MLL-AF9 protein was detected by Western blotting. Cell proliferation rate was analyzed by modified-MTT assay.Hoechst33258 staining Wag used to detect the apoptotic bodies in the cells.The change of apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry.Results The level of MLL-AF9 mRNA and protein expression after transfection was significantly decreased in ASODN-treated group in comparison with that in the control group,liposome group and SODN group(P<0.01).Proliferation of the ASODN-treated cells was inhibited and apoptosis was evidently increased by(10.4±3.0)%,(22.8±2.5)%and(24.7±3.1)% for 0,24 and 48 h,respectively in a time-dependent manner (P<0.01).Staining of the ASODN-treated cells with Hoechst 33258 showed the morphology characteristic of apoptosis.Conclusion Special ASODN targeting MLL-AF9 effectively inhibited MLL-AF9 expression in THP-1 cell,reduced cell proliferation and induced apoptosis.
