ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells.

Aim:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of human embryonic stem cell – conditioned medium (hESC-CM) on the proliferation of human leukemic HL-60 cells.

Material and methods:
We measured proliferation of myeloid leukemia cell by XTT assay. Also cell cycle and apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry after the cells stained.

Results and discussion:
Our experiment indicated that the human embryonic stem cells conditioned medium has anti-proliferative effects on the progression of HL60 cell. HL60 cells were treated with conditioned medium; the results of the flow cytometry demonstrate that hESC-CM was capable of increasing apoptosis of HL60 cells and inhibit the cell cycle progression.

Conclusions:
Our results show that Human embryonic stem cell conditioned medium contain factors that are able to inhibit the growth and inducing apoptosis of HL60 cells, which may represent a novel therapeutic approach for leukemia. However, further investigation is needed to identify the role of these factors.
