The present study examined the effects of simvastatin on the proliferation, apoptosis and gene expression levels involved in the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway in the human acute promyelocytic leukemia NB4 cell line by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay, flow cytometry and the Human NF-κB Signaling Pathway RT 2 Profiler™ PCR Array profiles. The results showed that simvastatin significantly inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis of the NB4 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Changes were noted in the expression levels of 56 genes involved in the NF-κB signaling pathways in the NB4 cells treated with 15 μm simvastatin at 48 h post-incubation, among which, 47 genes were downregulated and 9 were upregulated. In conclusion, simvastatin potentially inhibits the proliferation and induces the apoptosis of NB4 cells through the regulation of the expression levels of genes involved in the NF-κB signaling pathway.
