[Effect of MiR-96 on Cell Invasion and Apoptosis in Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia via Regulating MYB].

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the relationship of the expression of transcription factor MYB targeted regulation by miR-96 to cell invasion and apoptosis in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS:A total of 65 children with AML in The 928 Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Forces from January 2017 to November 2019 were selected, including 35 cases diagnosed as primary AML and 30 cases as complete remission AML. Thirty children with immune thrombocytopenia were selected as control group. The clinical characteristics were analyzed and compared between the two groups. The levels of miR-96 and MYB in peripheral blood samples were detected by qRT-PCR and compared between the two groups. The miR-96 mimics and its negative control (NC), inhibitor-miR-96 and its NC transfected HL60 cells induced by liposome (Lipofectamine 2000), respectively, Then the expression levels of MYB were detected with Western blot and compared among four HL60 cell groups. The invasion ability of four HL60 cell groups were detected with Transwell assay. The cell proliferation ability of four HL60 cell groups were detected with MTT at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, respectively. The apoptosis rates of four HL60 cell groups were detected with flow cytometry. RESULTS:Compared with control group, the level of miR-96 in AML children were higher, but MYB lower (P<0.05). Compared with complete remission AML, the level of miR-96 in primary AML was higher, but MYB lower (P<0.05). Western blot analysis showed that, the expression level of MYB in the four HL60 cell groups was different (P<0.05), the lowest was in miR-96 mimics group, followed by miR-96 NC group and inhibitor-miR-96 NC group, and the highest in inhibitor-miR-96 group (P<0.05), while there was no difference between miR-96 NC group and inhibitor-miR-96 NC group (P>0.05). The promotion of over-expression level of miR-96 on the invasion ability of HL 60 cells was confirmed by Transwell assay. MTT assay showed that miR-96 could promote the proliferation of HL60 cells, inhibit the apoptosis of HL60 cells, and the effect was time-dependent manner (r=0.804). The inhibition of miR-96 on HL60 cells apoptosis was also confirmed with flow cytometry. CONCLUSION:MiR-96 has significant negative effect on invasion and apoptosis of AML cells by targeting regulation MYB, and it might be a potential novel strategy for pediatric AML treatment.
