MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. In many cancers, up- or downregulation of different miRNAs is reported. In acute myeloid leukemia, upregulation of miR-92a-3p was reported in human in vitro studies. We performed blockage of miR-29a-3p in human acute megakaryoblastic leukemia cell line (M-07e) by using locked nucleic acid (LNA) and cell proliferation; apoptosis and necrosis were assessed. At different time points after LNA-anti-miR92a-3p transfection, miR-92a-3p quantitation was assessed by qRT-real-time PCR, MTT assay and annexin/propidium iodide staining were performed. The data were processed using the ANOVA test. At all three time points, the expression of miR-92a-3p was lower in the LNA-anti-miR group compared with the control groups. Cell viability between LNA-Anti-miR and the control group was statistically significant. Blockage of miR-92a-3p was associated with increment of the ratio of apoptotic cells in the LNA-anti-miR group was higher than the other group. The ratio of necrotic cells in the LNA-antimiR group was higher than the other groups. These assessments indicate that miR-92a-3p blockage can decrease the viability of M-07e cells, which is mainly due to induction of apoptosis and necrosis. Our findings could open up a path to a miRNA based therapeutic approach for treatment of acute megakaryoblastic leukemia.
