PG - 840-846 LID - 10.1139/bcb-2018-0017 [doi] AB - Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has a 5-year survival rate of only about 30%-40% due to the self-renewal and differentiation ability of leukemia stem-like cells (LSCs). To address the potential for novel therapeutic targets in LSCs, we investigated the roles of miRNA-126 and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 7 (TRAF7) in AML. We used qRT-PCR and Western blot to investigate the expression levels of miRNA-126 and TRAF7 in AML cell lines. Then, we uncovered the effect of miRNA-126 on AML cell proliferation and apoptosis by MTT assay and flow cytometric analysis, respectively. Furthermore, dual-luciferase assay and Western blot were used to determine the target of miRNA-126 in AML and the potential mechanism by which cell apoptosis is suppressed by miRNA-126. We found that miRNA-126 was highly expressed in all of the AML cell lines, and that inhibition of miRNA-126 significantly induced cell death through apoptosis. The suppression of apoptosis in AML with high expression of miRNA-126 was caused by down-regulating TRAF7, which blocked the c-FLIP pathway. The role of miRNA-126 in AML makes it a potential therapeutic target to improve clinical outcomes for patients with AML.
