Objective: To investigate the effects of simvastatin(SIM) and serum free medium(SFM) on the expression of multidrug resistance gene(MDR1) and protein of SHI-1 cells.
Methods: Trypan blue exclusion assay was used to detect the proliferation level and viability of SHI-1 cells after treatment with SIM and culture in SFM; The multi-drug resistant protein p-gp was measured by flow cytometry after culture in SFM for 1 to 3 days and treatment with various concentration of simvastatin. The effect of SFM culture and SIM treatment on the expression of MDR1 trascript was detected by qPCR; ELISA was used to measure the change of cellular cholesterol after culture in SIM and SFM. Chemosensitivity assay was performed after treatment with SIM for SHI-1 cells.
Results: Compared with control group, the growth of SHI-1 cells cultured in SFM decreased in a time-dependent manner. The growth-inhibitory effect was markedly increased when SHI-1 cells were treated with SIM and SFM. The mRNA level of MDR1 gene decreased after SIM treatment or/and culture in SFM. P-gp protein was downregulated in SHI-1 cells cultured in SFM or/and treated with SIM. The cellular cholesterol level increased when the cells were cultured in SFM. Total cellular cholesterol level decreased in SHI-1 cells treated with SIM and cultured in SFM. Chemosensitivity assays found that pre-treatment with SIM could increase the cytotoxicity of DNR to SHI-1 cells.
Conclusion: Culture with SIM and SFM can downregulate the expression of MDR1 gene and p-gp protein in SHI-1 cells. SIM also can enhance the chemotherapeutic sensitivity of SHI-1 cells.

A model construction of systemic acute leukemia is challenging. Herein, we established a systemic leukemia mouse model using highly immunodeficient NPG mice without any immunosuppressive treatments. NPG mice received tail intravenous injection of SHI-1 cells at the concentration of 1×10 cells (group A) or 5×10 cells (group B) and randomly sacrificed each seven days post-inoculation.

This study investigated the effect of rapamycin alone and in combination with chemotherapy (doxorubicin and cytarabine) on AML. Human acute monocytic leukemia cell line SHI-1 and NPG AML model mice created by intravenous injection of SHI-1 cell were treated with rapamycin, chemotherapy, or rapamycin plus chemotherapy. Analysis by cell counting kit-8, western blot, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry was performed, and results suggested that both rapamycin and chemotherapy inhibited proliferation of SHI-1 cells both in vitro and in vivo, suppressed neoplasm growth in vivo, and promoted survival of NPG AML mice.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how sedentary lifestyles affect muscle function and metabolism by analyzing gene expression changes in larvae with a specific mutation.
- The researchers discovered significant alterations in RNA Polymerase II binding in inactive muscle tissues, affecting around 6% of genes and notably increasing the presence of lncRNA-associated genes.
- Findings suggest that muscle inactivity leads to downregulation of essential genes related to muscle health and metabolism, potentially linking sedentary behavior to metabolic disorders in humans.
Ginsenoside Rk3 Inhibits the Extramedullary Infiltration of Acute Monocytic Leukemia Cell via miR-3677-5p/CXCL12 Axis.

Background: Acute monocytic leukemia belongs to type M5 of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) classified by FAB, which appears a high incidence of extramedullary infiltration (EMI) and poor prognosis. In this study, we observed the inhibitory effect of ginsenoside Rk3 on the EMI of monocytic leukemia cells and initially explored its related mechanism of targeting the miR-3677-5p/CXCL12 axis.
Methods: The MTT assay and colony formation assay were used to detect the inhibitory effect of Rk3 on proliferation.

Objective: To express matrix remodeling associated 7 (MXRA7) in the human acute myeloid leukemia SHI-1 cell line and to assess the role of MXRA7 in the biological function of SHI-1 cells.
Methods: The full-length cDNA sequence of human MXRA7 was synthesized and subcloned into the lentivirus shuttle vector pRRL-Venus. SHI-1 cells were transfected with the lentivirus which was packaged with 293T cells.
