Background: L-asparaginase is one of the most important and common drugs in the treatment of children and adults
with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Transcription factors play a key role in the prognosis, treatment, and recurrence
of cancer. The EBF1 transcription factor is essential for B cell commitment and differentiation. Moreover, miRNAs
are involved in many cellular processes such as cancer. Aim of the work: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of
L-asparaginase on the EBF1 gene, miR-181b, and miR-17 expression and to examine its relationship with apoptosis
in the Nalm-6 cell line. Material and Methods: In this experimental study, the Nalm-6 cell line was cultured in
optimal condition, and treated with L-asparaginase. An ideal concentration of L-asparaginase for the Nalm-6 cell
was determ.. Read More»
