Exogenous Notch1 overexpression inhibits proliferation of K562 cells by arresting at G1 phase
Objective To study the effects of overexpression of exogenous Notch1 on cell proliferation and cell cycle of human chronic myeloid leukemia cell line K562. Methods Plasmid pcDNA3.1-ICN1 containing exogenous intracellular fragment of Notch1 was transfected in K562 cells with Lipofectamine
TM
2000. Inverted phase contrast microscope was used to observe the morphology change of K562 cells
RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of Notch1 mRNA and protein. MTT assays and flow cytometry were used to detect the proliferation and cell cycle of K562 cells respectively. Results As compared with untransfected
group
the cell number of transfected K562 cells was decreased with cells aggregating. Both Notch1 mRNA and protein were up-regulated after transfection. The proliferation of transfected K562 cells were inhibited significantly (P0.01) and as we cultured more time
the cells were inhibited more significantly (P0.05). The cell cycle assay indicated that the cells at G
1
phase were increased (P0.05) and those at S phase were decreased significantly (P0.01) as compared to control group. Conclusion The overexpression of exogenous intracellular fragment of Notch1 can inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells by inhibiting the cell cycle in G
