Interleukin 24 (IL‑24) is a unique cytokine encoded by the melanoma differentiation associated gene‑7 (Mda‑7), and was first discovered inhuman melanoma cells. Exogenous Mda‑7/IL‑24 has been shown to inhibit the proliferation and invasion of a broad spectrum of human cancer cells, but its effect on the differentiation of B cell lymphoma is not yet clear. To the best of our knowledge, the present study demonstrated for the first time that overexpressing Mda‑7/IL‑24 can induce differentiation in human B cell lymphomacells, and the underlying mechanism was investigated. The proliferation of stable Mda‑7/IL‑24 overexpressing Raji and Daudi cells was assessed by the MTS method. The immunophenotype, apoptosis level and cell cycle distribution of Raji and Daudi cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of PR domain zinc finger protein 1 (Blimp1) and B‑cell lymphoma 6 (Bcl6) were analyzed by western blotting. Additionally, western blotting assay was also performed to study the effect of Mda‑7/IL‑24 on the activity of the P38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway in Raji and Daudi cells. Proliferation of Raji and Daudi cells overexpressing Mda‑7/IL‑24 was inhibited significantly, compared with those of parent cells and cells transfected with the empty vector alone. Apoptosis was not involved in the proliferation inhibition, while the cell cycle was arrested in G1 phase in the Raji and Daudi cells overexpressing Mda‑7/IL‑24. Overexpressing Mda‑7/IL‑24 resulted in a significantly decreased expression of cluster of differentiation (CD)10, and increased expression of CD45 and CD138 in the cell surface of Raji and Daudi cells. The expression of Blimp1 was upregulated, while the levels of Bcl6 protein was downregulated, in Raji and Daudi cells overexpressing Mda‑7/IL‑24. Furthermore, the activities of the P38 MAPK signaling pathway in lymphoma cells were upregulated. These results indicated that Mda‑7/IL‑24 could induce terminal differentiation of B lymphoma cells by regulating the expression of Blimp1 and Bcl6 via altering the P38 MAPK signaling pathway, suggesting that Mda‑7/IL‑24 may therefore be a potential differentiation therapeutic agent to be applied in clinical treatment of B cell lymphoma.
