Abstract:
Aim To investigate the effect of the specif-ic inhibitor BIX-01294 of G9a on the proliferation, ap-optosis,DNA methylation and histone modulation of a-cute leukemia cell line, Molt-4. Methods Cells were cultured with different concentrations of BIX-01294 . Cell growth was determined by MTT. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of Caspase-3, Bcl-2, Bax, P15, acetylated H3, H3 K9 me1 , H3 K9 me2 , H3 K9 me3 and H3 K27 me1 , H3K27me2 methylation were detected by Western blot. Results BIX-01294 downregulated bcl-2 , and upreg-ulated Bax, Caspase-3 and induced apoptosis in (5. 54 ± 1. 35)%, (10. 24 ± 2. 26)%, (32. 28 ± 3. 26)%, (47. 52 ± 4. 37 )% after 24 hours exposure to BIX-01294 in 0 , 1 , 2 , 4 μmol · L-1 . The difference be-tween them was statistically significant ( P <0. 05 ) . BIX-01294 inhibited DMNT1 and promoted P15 , which resulted in cell proliferation inhibition. Further studies showed that BIX-01294 decreased H3 K9 me1 , H3 K9 me2 , and H3 K27 me1 , H3 K27 me2 , and didn′t change protein expression of acetylated H3 and H3 K9 me3. Conclusion BIX-01294 inhibits G9a, resulting in downregulation of methylation of H3 K9 me1 , H3 K9 me2 , H3 K27 me1 and H3 K27 me2 and DMNT1 and P15 denovo. It inhibits cell proliferation and in-duces cell apoptosis.
