Abstract: Objective To explore the influence on cyclin and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor of cell cycle of Kasumi-1 cell-derived from t(8;21)/AML treated with histone deacetylase(HDAC)inhibitor valproic acid(VPA).Methods RT-PCR assay was applied to detect mRNA expression of regulation factor of cell cycle of Kasumi-1 cell with VPA at different concentration and different time. Results VPA could down-regulate mRNA expression of cyclinD1,cyclinE1 and cyclinB1,and up-regulate mRNA expression of p21 WAF1/CIP1 with no obvious variation of mRNA level of p27KIP1. Condusion VPA could regulate cell cycle through the regulation of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinase,arresting Kasumi-1 cell at G0/G1 phase.
