Vitamin K1 induced cytotoxic effects and transcriptomic analysis in acute T-cell lymphocytic leukemia Jurkat cells
Vitamin K1 (VK1), an essential nutrient related to coagulation, has been proved to have anticancer properties in various cancer cells. However, little is known about the effects of VK1 on hematologic malignancies. The aim of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of VK1 on acute T-cell lymphocytic leukemia Jurkat cells (Jurkat T cells). In addition, VK1 induced changes of gene expression in Jurkat T cells were also observed. Overall design: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of Jurkat T cells induced by VK1 were analyzed by RNA sequencing on the Illumina Novaseq6000 sequencer.
