Engaging a senescent response may be an effective way to cure acute myeloid leukemia （AML）. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of resveratrol-downregulated phosphorylated liver kinase B1 （pLKB1） on the senescence of acute myeloid leukemia （AML） stem cells. The protein expressions of pLKB 1 and Sirtuin 1 （SIRT1）, a regulator ofpLKB1, were measured in CD34＋CD38-KGla cells treated with resveratrol （40 μmol/L） or not by Western blotting. Senescence-related factors were examined, including p21 mRNA tested by real-time PCR, cell morphology by senescence-associated β-galactosidase （SA-β-gal） staining, cell pro- liferation by MTT assay and cell cycle by flow cytometry. Besides, apoptosis was flow cytometrically determined. The results showed that pLKB1 was highly expressed in CD34＋CD38- KGla cells, and resveratrol, which could downregulate pLKB1 through activation of SIRT1, induced senescence and apoptosis of CD34＋CD38- KGla cells. It was concluded that resveratrol-downregulated pLKB1 is in- volved in the senescence of AML stem cells.展开更多
