Methods ：After MR2 cells （ATRA-resistance cell line） were treated with IFN-α, IFN-γ and ATRA alone or IFN-α and IFN-γ in combination with ATRA respectively. The cell proliferation was tested by MTT test and the cell differentiation was tested through light microscope by NBT test and flow cytometry （FCM）. The expres sion of promyelocytic leukemia （PML） protein was observed by indirect immune fluorescent method. Results： Both IFN-α and IFN-γ could inhibit the proliferation and induce the differentiation of MR2 cells to some extent. The effects were more obvious after both interferons in combination with ATRA respectively （P〈0.05）. Moreover, the maturation of MR2 cells induced by IFN-γ＋ATRA group was more higher than that by IFN-α＋ATRA group （P〈0. 05）. Both interferons could induce the expressions of PML protein. Conclusion：Both interferons can inhibit MR2 cells proliferation, which may be related to the expression of PML protein induced by both interferons. The inducing differentiation effects of IFN-γ＋ATRA group on MR2 cells are more powerful than those of IFN-aq-ATRA group, which may be related to the different signal transduction pathway of both interferons.展开更多

The effects of PTFCs separately or combined with arsenic trioxide on the proliferation and apoptosis of leukemia cells were determined by 3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide（MTT）, fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry. Their effects on the expression levels of apoptosisrelated regulators were determined by Western blot assay. PTFCs combined with arsenic trioxide significantly inhibited the growth of Kasumi-1 cells, and apoptosis was confirmed by flow cytometry analysis. Hoechst 33258 staining showed more significant morphological changes and more apoptosis following the combined treatment. Western blots showed changes in the expression of genes for poly ADP-ribose polymerase（PARP）, caspase 3/9, and P65. The results indicated that PTFCs separately or combined with arsenic trioxide inhibited proliferation of leukemia cells in vitro and induced their apoptosis by modulating the expression of apoptosis-related regulator genes.展开更多
