Knockdown of MEF2D inhibits the development and progression of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myocyte enhancer factor 2D (MEF2D) is involved in the progression of various malignant tumors. However, its impact on B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) has not been elucidated.

Methods

In this study, the expression level of MEF2D in B-ALL patients was validated through the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and clinical specimens. MEF2D-knockdown B-ALL cell lines were constructed by lentivirus transfection, and the effects of MEF2D on the viability, apoptosis, cycle progression, and drug sensitivity of B-ALL cells were verified by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry (FCM). The effect of MEF2D on the proliferation of B-ALL cells in vivo was verified via the construction of a xenograft mouse model. The mechanism of MEF2D regulating B-
