To study the effect of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) on apoptosis of human promyelocytic leukemia cells induced by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA).
Human acute promyelocytic leukemia NB4 cells were treated either by ATRA or by ATRA plus TNF-α. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected by cell counting and annexin V-FITC/PI staining, respectively. Changes of CD11b expression on NB4 cells were observed by flow cytometry.
Compared with NB4 cells treated with ATRA alone, NB4 cells treated with ATRA plus TNF-α showed slower proliferation and a higher rate of apoptosis during the whole process of differentiation, and had a higher ratio of CD11b positive cells on the second day of differentiation.
TNF-α may have potential for strengthening the differentiation and apoptosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia cells induced by ATRA.
研究肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)对全反式维甲酸(ATRA)诱导的人早幼粒细胞白血病细胞凋亡的影响。
人急性早幼粒细胞白血病NB4细胞分别用ATRA或ATRA加TNF-α处理。分别通过细胞计数和膜联蛋白V-异硫氰酸荧光素/碘化丙啶染色检测细胞增殖和凋亡。通过流式细胞术观察NB4细胞上CD11b表达的变化。
与单独用ATRA处理的NB4细胞相比,用ATRA加TNF-α处理的NB4细胞在整个分化过程中增殖较慢且凋亡率较高,并且在分化第二天CD11b阳性细胞的比例更高。
TNF-α可能具有增强ATRA诱导的急性早幼粒细胞白血病细胞分化和凋亡的潜力。
