This study is to investigate the effect of downregulation histone deacetylases 1 (HDAC1) gene by the technology of RNA interference on the differentiation of HL-60 cells line. The optimal segment targeting HDAC1 gene was designed and transfected into HL-60 cells by Lipofectamine 2000. The HDAC1 mRNA and protein level were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The morphologic change of HL-60 cells was detected by an optical microscope with Wright-Giemsa. Cell differentiation was tested by NBT reduction assay. Expression of CD13, CD33 and CD14 was measured by flow cytometry. The results indicated that HDAC1 mRNA and protein were markedly suppressed by the siRNA targeting HDAC1 in a concentration-dependent manner. HDAC1 siRNA promoted cell differentiation. HL-60 cells became more mature in morphology after transfected to HDAC1 siRNA at a concentration of 30-60 nmol x L(-1) for 24 h. NBT reduction ability of HDAC1 siRNA with 30 nmol x L(-1) was 0.31 +/- 0.09, compared with negative control (0.20 +/- 0.02) (t = -3.1, P < 0.01), and with 60 nmol x L(-1) was 0.25 +/- 0.02 in comparison with negative control (0.21 +/- 0.04) (t = -2.12, P < 0.05). But it has no change in HDAC1 siRNA > or = 120 nmol x L(-1). After transfection with 60 nmol x L(-1) HDAC1 siRNA to HL-60 cells, the expression of CD13 was (96.50 +/- 0.70)% in compared to siRNA-NC (3.39 +/- 0.68) % (t = 164.9, P < 0.000 5), CD33 was (66.73 +/- 0.50) % in compared to siRNA-NC (96.80 +/- 1.70) % (t = 43.4, P < 0.000 5). CD14 was (0.53 +/- 0.00) % by comparison with siRNA-NC (0.49 +/- 0.02) % (t = -0.97, P > 0.1). HDAC1 siRNA promoted cell differentiation in indicated concentration. HDAC1 might be one of the targets of gene therapy for leukemia.

Objective:To explore the structure of maternal verbal scaffolding features and develop a questionnaire on Mother's language scaffolding characteristics, so as to provide a quantitative, convenient and economical self-assessment tool for describing maternal verbal scaffolding features.Methods:On the basis of qualitative research and literature research, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 704 mothers of preschool children. After item analysis and exploratory factor analysis, a formal questionnaire was formed. Two weeks later, 106 mothers were retested to collect test-retest reliability data. Preschool children's expressive vocabulary checklist was used as external criterion.Data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 and Amos 21.0.Results:(1)The formal questionnaire includes 28 items with two factors-detailed support factor and control rejection factor, the internal consistency coefficients of the two factors were 0.849 and 0.811, the project load was from 0 .482 to 0 .701, and the variance contribution rate was 40.36%.(2) AMOS 21.0 was used for confirmatory factor analysis, indicating that the two-factor structure met the requirements of psychometrics.( χ 2/ df=1.96, RMSEA=0.05, NFI=0.86, CFI=0.90, IFI=0.89). (3)The results of two-factor text-retest reliability were 0.840 and 0.871 as well as the results of split-half reliability was 0.801.The internal consistency reliability was 0.740.The external validity analysis showed that the mother's education level was positively correlated with factor Ⅰ( r=0.288, P=0.000), but not with factor Ⅱ( r=-0.091, P=0.052). There was significant difference in factorⅠbetween mothers with expressive vocabulary development delay children (52.22±10.56) and non delayed children (57.71±7.51) ( t=-5.07, P=0.000). There also was a significant difference in factor Ⅱ between mothers with expressive vocabulary development delay children (37.12±10.09) and non delayed children (31.53±8.59) ( t=4.61, P=0.000). (4)There was no significant difference in the characteristics of language scaffolding between boys(factorⅠ(58.08±8.14), factorⅡ(32.86±9.51)) and girls' mothers(factorⅠ(56.93±8.20), factorⅡ(31.42±8.48)). Analysis of the sample groups showed that age did not affect the verbal scaffolding features of preschool children's mothers( F1=1.633, P1=0.181; F2=0.758, P2=0.518). Conclusion:There are two factors in the questionnaire of the verbal scaffolding features questionnaire, which meet the criteria of psychometrics.The questionnaire of the verbal scaffolding features questionnaire is suitable for evaluating the characteristics of language scaffolding of mothers of preschool children aged 3-6.
