Myeloid ecotropic viral integration site-1 inhibition promotes apoptosis, suppresses proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia cells, accentuates the effects of anticancer drugs.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the effects of myeloid ecotropic viral integration site-1 (MEIS1) on the proliferation and apoptosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells and the anticancer effects of the drug, we screened Kasumi-6, KG-1, and Kasumi-1 cells using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Kasumi-6 and Kasumi-1 cells were subjected to human antigen R (HuR)-mediated interference (IV). Hexokinase 2 (HK2) expression and phosphorylation of protein kinase B (p-AKT) and mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR) were observed with Western blotting. Cell proliferation was assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8, apoptosis was examined using Hoechst 33,258 staining, and glucose uptake was detected with a colorimetric biochemical assay kit. We found that, among the three cell lines tested,
