[Effects of Cyclin A1 on the Proliferation of SKM-1 Cells and Its Potential Role in Myelodysplastic Syndrome].

Objective: To investigate the effects of Cyclin A1 on the proliferation of SKM-1 cells and its underlying role in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Methods: Cyclin A1 was knocked down with its small interfering RNA (siRNA). The efficiency of siRNA transfection was measured by Western blot and RT-PCR. Then the proliferation of SKM-1 cells and the expression of CDK2,RUNX1 and SRSF2 with and without knockdown of Cyclin A1 recorded and analysed respectively.

Results: Cyclin A1 was knocked down by siRNA after transfected for 48 h. The kncokdown of Cyclin A1 inhibited the proliferation of SKM-1 cells and down-regulated the expression of CDK2, RUNX1 and SRSF2, and these effects were at least partially mediated through RUNX1 and SRSF2 signaling pathway.

Conclusion: Cyclin A1 plays an important role in the proliferation of SKM-1 cells. These findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of MDS, and it may be a potential target in the treatment of MDS.
