[Efflect of miR-34a-Tangeted Regulation of HDACI on Apoptosis of AML Cells].

Objective: To investigate the regulation of miR-34a on HDAC1 expression and its effect on the apoptosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells.

Methods: miR-34a mimics, miR-34a inhibitor and miR-34a scramble were transfected into HL-60 cells. The effects of miR-34a expression levels on proliferation and apoptosis of HL-60 cell were detected by CCK8 assay and flow cytometry respectively. The expression of HDAC1 protein was assessed by Western blot after regulating miR-34a expression, the 3'UTR of HDAC1 was cloned and ligated to construct a dual luciferase reporter vector, and then the dual luciferase reporter assay was applied to verify the target of miR-34a, the expression vector pcDNA3.1-HDAC1 was constructed, the interaction of miR-34a and HDAC1 was analyzed by reversion test.

Results: miR-34a over-expression could inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells and induce their apoptosis. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the HDAC1 was a target gene of miR-34a. Western blot indicated that miR-34a overexpression down-regulated the expression of HDAC1. Dual luciferase reporter assay and reversion test showed that miR-34a could act at the 3-UTR of HDAC1 gene to regulate its expression.

Conclusion: miR-34a promotes the apoptosis of HL-60 cells via regulating HDAC1 expression.
