Abstract:
Objective:To study the influence of chloroquine combined with decitabine in the apoptosis of leukemia K562 cells and KG-1a1Aor1a cells,to explore the effect of autophagy on the leukemia cell apoptosis induced by decitabine,and to clarify its mechanism.Methods:The leukemia K562 and KG-1a1Aor1a cells were cultivated in vitro and divided into blank control group,decitabine group (10 μmol · L 1) and chloroquine (50 μmol · L 1) combined with decitabine group (combined group).The leukemia cells in combined group were pre-treated with chloroquine for 6 h before experiment.After treatment with drugs for 24 and 48 h,the number of cells was detected and by CCK-8 method the inhibitory rates of proliferation cells were calculated;the apoptotic rates and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected by flow cytometry.Q-PCR method was carried out to determine the gene expression levels of Atg7 and Atg12,and Western blotting was used to test the protein expression of LC3.Results:After treatment for 24 and 48 h,the number of K562 and KG-1a1Aor1a cells in decitabine group and combined group were decreased compared with blank control group (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);the apoptotic rates and mitochondrial membrane potential were remarkably increased (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Compared with decitabine group,the number of K562 and KG-1a1Aor1a in combined group was significantly decreased,and the apoptotic rates were remarkably increased (P＜0.05).After treatment for 24 h,the expression levels of Atg7,Atg12 and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ in the leukemia K562 and KG-1a1Aor1a cells in decitabine group were significantly increased compared with blank control group (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);the expression levels of Atg7,Atg12 and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ in the leukemia K562 and KG-1a1Aor1a cells in combined group were significantly decreased compared with decitabine group (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion:Decitabine could promote the apoptosis of leukemia cells,and the inhibition of autophagy by chloroquine can promote the apoptosis induced by decitabine.
