Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a heterogeneously cloned hematopoietic stem cell malignancy with a high risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML). 4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl resinate (ATPR), a novel all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) derivative designed in our group, was proved to be a tumor inhibitor in diverse types of cancer cells in vitro. However, little has been known about the effects of ATPR on MDS. To analyze if and to what extent it's anti-tumor activity on MDS, we performed CCK-8, Flow Cytometry, Wright-Giemsa staining, qRT-PCR, and Western blot to analyze the SKM-1 cells state after ATPR treatment in multiplex detection angles. As expected, our results proved that ATPR could effectively induce cell differentiation and reduce cell proliferation of SKM-1 cell lines. Subsequently, to further analyze the potential mechanisms, we applied Label-free proteomic techniques to discover relevant protein that may be involved. Most notably, a series of factors related to RNA behavioral regulation were changed. Among them, we demonstrated that DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX23 was abnormally ablated in MDS patients and could be restored after ATPR treatment in vitro. Besides, our results suggested that ATPR-induced SKM-1 cell maturation was counteracted when knockdown DDX23, underscoring that DDX23 might be involved. In conclusion, we confirmed that ATPR could induce SKM-1 cells differentiation and its positive influence of DDX23 may provide a new idea to relieve MDS.
