Objective: The production of normal blood cells in the bone marrow is interrupted in AML, which is characterized by the proliferation and accumulation of leukemic blasts. Therefore, patients experience anemia and thrombocytopenia. When gene expression of Aurora kinases, which is reported to be highly expressed in AML, decreases, it may be possible to alleviate the clinical findings in AML. In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship of AURKB with important miRNAs that have the potential to regulate gene expression. Method: HL60 and NB4 cells were transfected with important tumor suppressor miRNAs miR-34a-5p and let-7b-5p mimics. Then, its effects on proliferation were examined with WST-8 technique and its effects on AURKB gene expression were examined with qRT-PCR. Results: It was determined that these miRNAs negatively regulated proliferation in both AML cell lines and downregulated the expression level of the Aurora kinase B (AURKB) gene in the miRNA transfected group compared to the control group. Conclusion: In conclusion, it was determined that miR-34a-5p and let-7b-5p could regulate AURKB expression in AML cells. Therefore, it was thought that these miRNAs may have an important potential as a therapeutic biomarker in preventing excessive cell division and poor prognosis in AML.
