    Abstract

    This study was aimed to investigate the mechanism of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, valproic acid (VPA), reversing transcription inhibition of AML1-ETO fusion protein in Kasumi-1 cell line. The mRNA expressions of AML1-ETO, AML1 and cyclin D2 were detected by semi-quantitation RT-PCR after treating kasumi-1 cells with VPA at different doses/and different time points. The results indicated that the mRNA expression of AML1-ETO showed no obvious change, when kasumi-1 cells were treated with VPA. Compared with control group, the expression level of AML1 mRNA significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with control group, the expression level of cyclin D2 mRNA significantly decreased when kasumi-1 cells had been treated with 3 mmol/L VPA as well as kasumi-1 cells were treated with different concentrations of VPA for 3 days. In conclusion, VPA could remove transcription inhibition of AML1-ETO fusion protein, increase transcription of AML1 and down-regulate mRNA expression of AML1 target gene cyclin D2 through HDAC inhibiting activity.
