Description
Summary:In order to explore the molecular mechanisms of sodium butyrate and trichostatin A on K562 cell proliferation/differentiation, K562 cells were grown in the absence or presence of sodium butyrate or trichostatin A. The percentage of viable cells was determined by trypan blue exclusion.Differentiation was determined by nitro-blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction and cell surface adhesion molecules analyzed by FACS. Cell cycle distribution was studied after DNA staining by propidium iodide. Cell cycle regulatory proteins were detected by Western blot and reverse transcription-poly-merase chain reaction. The results showed that sodiun butyrate blocked ceils mainly at the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, whereas trichostatin A arrested the cells at G2 phase. Sodium butyrate coulddown-regulate the mRNA expression of cyclin D1, but not affect its protein expression; down-regu-late the protein expression of cyclin D3, but not affect its mRNA expression. Trichostatin A showed similar effects on cyclin D1 and D3 as sodium butyrate. Both sodium butyrate and trichostatin A could stimulate p21 expression of K562 cells at mRNA and protein levels. It may be concluded that sodium butyrate and trichostatin A could promote the proliferation/differentiation of the K562 cells, which might be contributed to the induced expression of cyclin D3 and D21 proteins.
