Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIM: To learn the expression and activation of Stat1 protein in the peripheral blood white cells of acute myeloid leukemia(AML) by combing to the nuclear matrix. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The Stat1 activation were detected by western blot with anti-Stat1 antibody. RESULT:The results showed that Stat1 was activated in the 22/41(53.7 %) with AML and 0 % in the 15 normal controls, and activated Stat1 existed in the nuclear matrix components. CONCLUSION: The conclusion denotes that over expression and activation of Stat1 maybe play an important role in the process of AML by attaching to nuclear matrix .

Key words: acute myeloid leukemia, Stat1 protein, nuclear matrix
