ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to investigate the effects of decitabine (DAC) on proliferation and apoptosis of leukemia NB4 and K562 cells. The proliferation inhibition of DAC on NB4 and K562 cells was detected by Trypan blue staining. After treatment of DAC at different concentrations, the changes of cell cycle and CD11b expression was determined by flow cytometry. The cell morphological changes were observed by Wright's staining. The DNA ladder was used to detect cell apoptosis. The results indicated that DAC significantly inhibited the proliferation of NB4 and K562 cells in dose-and time-dependent manner. The median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of DAC-treated NB4 and K562 cells for 72 h was 0.113 µmol/L and 0.138 µmol/L, respectively. After treating these two cell lines with DAC at different concentration for 72 h, the cell ratio in G0/G1 phase significantly increased, while the cell ratio in S phase obviously decreased in 0.15 µmol/L DAC group (P < 0.05). The expression levels of myeloid differentiation antigen CD11b of both cell lines significantly increased in contrast to the control group (P < 0.05). The cell morphology detected by Wright's staining displayed partial differentiation and apoptosis after treating NB4 and K562 cells with DAC for 48 h. Typical apoptotic DNA ladder was observed in 0.15 µmol/L DAC group at 48 h. It is concluded that DAC can inhibit NB4 and K562 cell proliferation, induce cell differentiation and apoptosis, but more obviously for NB4 cells.
