Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2012;21(10):607-610
Objective To explore the effect of DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) on proliferation and tumor suppressor gene PRDM1α expression in Burkitt's lymphoma cell line NAMALWA. Methods MTT was used to study the impact of DNA methylation inhibitor on proliferation in NAMALWA cells,and comparative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) with SYBR Green assay was used to detect PRDM1α gene expression. Results MTT results showed that 5-AzaCdR inhibited proliferation of NAMALWA cells in a dose-dependent manner.After treated with 5-Aza-CdR for 72 h at 0.01,0.0625,0.1,0.125,0.25,0.5,1,2 and 4 μmol/L,the inhibition rates were 21.93 %,39.23 %,47.69 %,50.37 %,53.54 %,57.72 %,62.31%,65.68 %,67.87 %,respectively,and the differences of absorbance among the groups were also statistically significant (all P< 0.01). Meanwhile, 5-Aza-CdR could induce the re-expression of PRDM1α, and △Ct of 0.5, 1, 2 μmol/L groups showed significant differences compared with control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion DNA methylation inhibitor 5-Aza-CdR can significantly inhibit the proliferation of Burkitt' s lymphoma cell line NAM ALWA,and the possible mechanism of this inhibition may be induction of demethylation and re-expression of PRDM 1α.

Aim: To study the effects of berberine( Ber) on the rapidly activating component( Ⅰ_(Kr)), the slowly activating component(Ⅰ_(Ks)) of the delayed rectifier potassium current and the inward rectifier potassium current(Ⅰ_(K1)) in cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Methods: After guinea pigs were ip L-thyroxine 0. 5 mg/kg for 10 d, their hearts were cardiomyopathic. Then whole cell patch-clamp recording technique was used to observe the effect of 30 μmol/L Ber on the Ⅰ_(Kr), Ⅰ_(Ks) and Ⅰ_(K1) in cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Results: In cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes, Ber 30 μmol/L markedly inhibited Ⅰ_(Kr) and Ⅰ_(Ks) by 22. 8% and 29. 5% at + 10 mV and + 80 mV, respectively. The effect of Ber on Ⅰ_(Ks) was greater than that on Ⅰ_(Kr). Ber 30 μmol/L also inhibited the inward component of Ⅰ_(K1) by 29. 1% at + 120 mV, but the reverse potential of Ⅰ_(K1) was unaffected. Ber( 1-300 μmol/L) was shown to inhibit Ⅰ_(Kr) and Ⅰ_(Ks) in a concentration-dependent manner. Their IC_(50), were 76. 74 μmol/L and 55. 37 μmol/L, respectively. Conclusion: Ber inhibited Ⅰ_(Kr),Ⅰ_(Ks) and Ⅰ_(K1) in cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes, which may be important in understanding the antiarrhythmic effects of this drug.
