Emodin induces apoptosis and down-regulates Bcl-2/Bax in leukemia KG-1a cells
Objective To determine the effect of emodin on the proliferation and apoptosis in human acute myeloid leukemia cell line KG-1a
and to investigate the role of Bcl-2/Bax in the process. Methods KG-1a cells were exposed to emodin at the doses of 25
50
100 and 200 mol/L. Cell viability was measured with MTT assay. The change of cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The expression of Bcl-2/Bax mRNA was assessed by RT-PCR. Results Emodin significantly inhibited the proliferation in KG-1a cells
with IC
50
value of 171.8 μmol/L after treatment for 48 h. Emodin blocked cell cycle at G

phase
and
a remarkable sub-G1 apoptotic peak was observed according to the detection of flow cytometry. The expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated
while that of Bax was obviously up-regulated in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion Emodin can significantly induce apoptosis of KG-1a cells
which might be related to the down-regulation of Bcl-2 and up-regulation of Bax.
