Abstract:
ObjectiveTo clarify the expression of TRIM28 in non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia （AML） and its correlation with clinical indicators and prognosis， and to further explore the effect of TRIM28 expression levels on the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells using small interfering RNA. MethodsThe GSE34577 dataset was analyzed using R software to compare TRIM28 expression between healthy controls and non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia （AML） patients. Clinical samples from non-M3 AML patients were collected， with TRIM28 expression levels measured using real-time quantitative PCR （qPCR）. The analysis focused on correlations between TRIM28 expression and various clinical indicators， treatment efficacy， and patient prognosis. Furthermore， small interfering RNA （siRNA） technology was employed to downregulate TRIM28 expression in human primary AML cells （HL60 cell line）. The effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis were then assessed through CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry， respectively. ResultsThe results showed that TRIM28 was up-regulated in non-M3 AML of both online database GSE34577 and clinical samples （P<0.000 1）， TRIM28 expression of new diagnosis group and relapsed refractory group was higher than iron deficiency anemia group （P<0.01）， and there was no significance between different French-American-British classification systems subtype. TRIM28 expression was higher in non-M3 AML patients with a poor genetic prognosis stratified as moderate than in the good prognosis group， and TRIM28 expression was associated with NPM1 combined with the FLT3-ITD mutation， positively correlated with age， bone marrow blast， peripheral blood blast and white blood cell， negatively correlated with hemoglobin. In addition， interference TRIM28 greatly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis. ConclusionThis study reveals that TRIM28 is highly expressed in non-M3 AML and associated with prognosis， and plays a key role in the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells， suggesting that TRIM28 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for non-M3 AML.
