This study was purposed to investigate the relationship between brd7 gene and differentiation of leukemia cells and the role of brd7 gene in differentiation of leukemia cells. The HL-60 and K562 cell lines were induced by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) for 7 days, then the cell morphologic change was observed under inverted microscope with Wright-Giema staining, the expression level of CD11b was detected by flow cytometry for evaluating cell differentiation level, the expression changes of BRD7 protein before inducing differentiation and in process of cell differentiation were determined by Western blot. The results showed that ATRA could inhibit the proliferation and induce differentiation of HL-60 cells, but no differentiation in K562 cells was induced by ATRA. The level of CD11b expression in HL-60 cells was up-regulated gradually during ATRA-induced cell differentiation. The expression of BRD7 protein increased markedly along with differentiation of HL-60 cells towards granulocytes. However, BRD7 protein did not significantly alter in K562 cells in which inducing differentiation was not found. It is concluded that brd7 gene expression enhances as the HL-60 cells differentiate, underlying which the mechanism remains to clarify.

This study was aimed to investigate the regulatory effect of phenylhexyl isothiocyanate (PHI) on methylation of histone H3K4, H3K9 and demethylation of p15 gene in acute leukemia cell line Molt-4, and to explore the possible mechanism inducing re-expression of silent gene. The methylation status of histone H3K4, H3K9 and the expression of P15 protein in the Molt-4 cells treated with PHI were detected by Western blot; the methylation status of p15 gene in the Molt-4 cells before and after treatment with PHI was determined by methylation specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP); the expression level of p15 gene mRNA in Molt-4 cells treated with PHI was assayed by semiquantitative reverse transcription-PCR. The results indicated that the PHI could increase methylation of histone H3K4 and decrease methylation of histone H3K9 in concentration-and time-dependent manners. After treatment of Molt-4 cells with PHI for 5 days, the methylation of p15 gene was reduced, the significant hypermethylation of p15 gene was reversed, the silenced p15 gene re-expressed; the expressions of p15 mRNA and P15 protein were enhanced in concentration-dependent manner. It is concluded that probably through specifically regulating the methylation level of histone H3K4 and H3K9, the PHI causes the changes of chromosome space structure and results in the demethylation of CPG island in p15 gene, thereby induces the re-expression of p15 gene which was silenced.
