Abstract: Objective To study the effects of Id4 on cell apoptosis of humen erythroleukemia cell line K562.Methods The antisense Id4 gene was inserted into eukaryotic expression vector pXJ41-neo,the recombinant vector was transfected into K562 cells.The percentage of apoptotic cells induced by HT was analysed by flow cytometry,UNEL.Western blot for detection of the expression of Bcl-xl,c-Myc,p27. Results The cell apoptosis was most significant in pAId4 cells induced by HT,The expression of Bcl-xl was found down-regulated in pAId4 cells in comparison with the control.Conclusion The antisense Id4 gene was found to be a strong inducer of apoptosis in K562 cells.In addition,Id4 may be an upstream regulator expression of Bcl-xl,leading to apoptosis.

Key words: K562 cell, Id4 gene, cell apoptosis
