Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic malignancies. Magnet assisted transfection (MATRA) is one of the most effective non-viral transfection methods. We aimed to evaluate the apoptotic effect of resveratrol (RES), MDM2, RUNX3, RB gene expression exchanges and MicroRNA- 150 (miR-150) transfected with MATRA to HL-60 cells. MATRA was used as non-viral vector carrier for miR-150 transfection. IC50 dose of RES was determineted by Fahri et al. Resveratrol and miR-150 transfected cells were performed apoptosis and MDM2, RUNX3, RB gene expression assays in Human promyelocytic leukemia (HL-60) cells. IC50 dose of RES was used as 5 μM. In HL-60 cells, it was found that miR-150, miR150-Resveratrol combination, resveratrol alone induces apoptosis by 6.48, 6.93 and 4.54 fold, respectively, compared to the control cells. Compared to control cells, MDM2, RUNX3, RB, gene expressions decreased (miR-150) 1.7, 1.3 and 1.4 fold, (miR-150-resveratrol) MDM2 expression increased 2.73 fold, RUNX3 and RB expression decreased 6.1, 1.07 fold, respectively. Combination with resveratrol, MDM2, RB decreased 2.9 and 1.4 fold, respectively. Non-viral miR-150 transfection may be effective in leukemia cells, induction of apoptotic effects and gene expression changes, following treatment with resveratrol and miR-150-resveratrol combinations.
