| Erythroid differentiation refers to the process in which hematopoietic stem cells pass through pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells,myeloid progenitor cells,and erythroid progenitor cells,and then form mature red blood cells.It is an important way for the body to produce mature red blood cells.Once the development of erythroid cells is stagnated at a certain stage and cannot eventually differentiate into mature red blood cells,it will cause leukemia.Chronic myeloid leukemia(CML)is a malignant clonal proliferative disease of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells that originates in bone marrow.It has the characteristics of uncontrolled proliferation,arrest of apoptosis,inhibition of hematopoietic function,and differentiation disorders.Therefore,leukemia cells being induced to differentiate in the terminal direction is an important strategy for studying leukemia treatment.Therefore,the in-depth study on the differentiation mechanism of leukemia cells and the discovery of differentiation-related genes and new therapeutic targets provide a new theoretical basis for the treatment of leukemia.Signal adaptor protein CRKL is a member of the CRK family.Like other connexins,it can recruit signal transduction molecules through its SH2 and SH3 domains,phosphorylate tyrosine-rich regions and act as signal switches.In recent years,studies have shown that the abnormal expression of CRKL is closely related to the occurrence and development of malignant tumors,and may be a potential target molecule to affect the treatment and prognosis of tumors.Previous studies in this group showed that CRKL affected the biological functions of K562,such as proliferation,migration,invasion and megakaryocyte differentiation,and we screened and identified the increased expression of molecules related to erythroid differentiation by using K562 cells stably down-regulated by CRKL through gene chip and proteomics,suggesting that CRKL is related to erythroid differentiation of K562 cells.MiR-429 is a member of the miR-200 family,which includes miR-141,miR-200 c,miR-200 a,miR-200 b and miR-429.The abnormal expression of miR-429 is closely related to tumorigenesis,metastasis,apoptosis and drug resistance.The preliminary results of this group showed that there was a targeted regulatory relationship between miR-429 and CRKL in the study of migration and invasion of Hep G2 cells,and the expression levels of the two were negatively correlated,and they mainly played a role through ERK pathway.but the role and mechanism of miR-429 in erythroid differentiation of leukemic cells are not clear.In this thesis,we mainly study the molecular mechanism of miR-429 targeting CRKL on erythroid differentiation of leukemic cells,and provide new clues and ideas for molecular targeted therapy of leukemia.Objective:1.To investigate the expression and correlation between the difference of miR-429 and CRKL expression in patients with CML.2.Screening
