The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of bufalin on the gene expression of K562 cells and on the expression of BMI‑1 pathway constituents in K562 cell apoptosis. K562 cells were treated with bufalin, and the inhibition rate and apoptosis were detected by an MTT assay, flow cytometry and a microarray assay. BMI‑1, p16INK4a and p14ARF were examined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
