    • Abstract:
      Acute myeloid leukemia remains a therapeutic challenge in the medical field and improvement in chemotherapeutics is needed. In this paper, MOLM-13 cells were treated with different concentrations (0, 10, 50, 100 µM) of dentatin and cell viability was detected using Cell Counting Kit-8. Cell cycle and cell apoptosis rates were evaluated by flow cytometry. The relevant proteins were assessed by Western blot. Consequently, the results show that dentatin inhibits the cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, dentatin arrests the cell cycle at G1 phase (P < 0.01). Moreover, dentatin induces the cell apoptosis. Further study revealed that dentatin downregulates the phosphorylated STAT3 and CyclinD1 but upregulates the cleaved caspase-3. In summary, this study confirms that dentatin inhibits MOLM-13 cell viability, increases cell apoptosis, and retards cell cycle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
