The application belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine, and particularly relates to application of a
small peptide PEARL in diagnosis and targeted treatment of acute
myeloid leukemia. The application detects samples of
leukemia patients and
leukemia cell lines, and finds that the
small peptide PEARL is significantly lowly expressed in patients with acute
myeloid leukemia. Meanwhile, it is found through research that PROSER2-AS1 does not play a role by itself, but plays a function through the coded
small peptide PEARL. Further through a
mouse leukemia model experiment, it is found that overexpression of the small
peptide PEARL can significantly inhibit survival of acute
myeloid leukemia cells, and significantly prolong the survival cycle of model mice. Finally, through mechanism research, it is found that overexpression of PEARL significantly increases
endoplasmic reticulum stress of acute myeloid
leukemia cells, activates UPR response, and thus affects functions of the acute myeloid leukemia cells. Therefore, the application can provide a new precise judgment or
treatment strategy for diagnosis or targeted treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
