Circadian clock gene Period2 suppresses human chronic myeloid leukemia cell proliferation.

ABSTRACT: Circadian clock genes (CCGs) are reported to serve pivotal roles in regulating the development of certain tumors, including lung cancer and colon cancer . However, their expression patterns and function in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) remains poorly understood. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and function of circadian clock gene Period2 (Per2) in human CML. Per2 expression levels in neutrophils isolated from patients with CML and healthy donors were measured via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Subsequently, through lentivirus transduction, Per2 was stably overexpressed in human CML cell line KCL22 cells, which were injected into nude mice to investigate the in vivo role of Per2 by measuring CML tumor size and weight. Additionally, Per2 expression leve
