AIM: To observe the apoptosis of K562/ADM cells induced by kappa-selenocarrageenan(KCS) and to explore its possible molecular mechanism. METHODS: MTT assay, Wright-Giemsa staining, DNA agarose gel electrophoresis and cell-cycle analysis were used for examining apoptosis in K562/ADM cells. Expression of Fas, Bcl-2 and P53 proteins was measured with Flow cytometr(FCM). RP-PCR assay was employed to detect the expression of caspase-3 mRNA. RESULTS: KCS inhibited proliferation of K562/ADM cells. Morphological typical changes of apoptosis were observed through light microscopy. DNA electrophoresis showed evident DNA fragmentation. Cell-cycle analysis indicated increased apoptotic cell population (Sub-G_1 proportion) as well as apparent S phase arrest. The expression of Fas antigens and caspase-3 mRNA significantly increased, and that of Bcl-2 antigens decreased sharply after application of KSC. There was no distinct change of the expression of P53 protein in K562/ADM cells treated with KSC. CONCLUSION: KSC induces apoptosis of K562/ADM cells via Fas-caspase-3 pathway.
