OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inducing effect of down-regulation of MCL-1 by diallyl disulfide(DADS) on the G2/M arrest of human leukemia K562 cells and its mechanisms. METHODS: CCK-8 was used to detect the effect of DADS on proliferation of K562 cells, flow cytometry was employed to observe the effect of cycle arrest by DADS and RNAi silencing MCL-1 gene in K562 cells. The expressions of MCL-1, PCNA and CDK1 in K562 cells treated with DADS were detected by Western blot. The amphigamy of MCL-1 with PCNA and CDK1 was detected by Coimmunoprecipitation. RESULTS: CCK-8 detection showed that the in...
