AIM:To elucidate the pattern of 5-fluorocytosine(5-FC) induced apoptosis and its role in gene therapy for human pancreatic cancer. METHODS: The human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells(CEA-producing) were infected with recombinant adenoviruses(Adex1CEA-prCD or Adex1CEA-prZ).Cytosine deaminase(CD) expression was examind by western blot. Apoptosis induced by 5-FC in human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells genetically modified to express cytosine deaminase was investigated by applying electron microscopy, DNA electrophoresis and flow cytometry analysis techniques. RESULTS: The SW1990 cells infected with Adex1CEA-prCD were treated with 5-FC at 100 μmol·L-1 for 48 h, cell apoptosis occurred. Typical apoptosis morphological feature appeared and DNA ladder could be demonstrated on DNA electrophoresis. Apoptosis peak was also showed by flow cytometry. Apoptotic cells accounted for 34.6% of the cell population. Cells in G1, S and G2/M phase of cell cycle were 64%, 11% and 7%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The apoptosis induced by 5-FC may be a primary mechanism in CD gene therapy for pancreatic cancer.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects and related mechanism of fucoidan on the proliferation and apoptosis in breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7. METHODS: MCF-7 cells were treated with different concentrations of fucoidan (100 mg/L, 300 mg/L, 500 mg/L, 1 000 mg/L) for 48 h. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Apoptosis morphological and biochemical changes were detected by Hoechst 33258 staining and agarose gel electrophoresis. The expression of 〖STBX〗bcl-2〖STBZ〗 and bax was examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: Fucoidan at different concentrations (100 mg/L, 300 mg/L, 500 mg/L, 1 000 mg/L) effectively inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cells (P<0.01). The inhibitory ratio and apoptosis rate increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA revealed the characteristic “ladder” pattern of apoptosis. Fucoidan down-regulated the expression of 〖STBX〗bcl-2〖STBZ〗 and up-regulated bax in the levels of mRNA and protein. The ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax decreased as the concentrations of fucoidan increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Fucoidan inhibits the cell proliferation by inducing cell apoptosis, and the apoptosis is related to the down-regulation of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and up-regulation of apoptotic protein Bax.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of homocysteine(Hcy) on the apoptosis of endothelial cells (EC). METHODS: First-passaged human umbilical vein endothelial cells (hUVEC) were cultured with M199 containing 3 mmol/L Hcy. hUVEC apoptosis was detected as follow: demonstration of nuclear changes by Hoechst 33258 staining, agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments, detection of apoptotic cells by flow cytometry following Annexin V-PI doubled stain, Western blot for P53 and Bax protein detection and colorimetry detecting caspase-3 activity. RESULTS: Compared with control, homocysteine induced characteristic apoptotic changes in hUVEC. The chromosomal DNA of hUVEC appeared "DNA ladder" by agarose gel electrophoresis. Apoptotic cells were increased significantly (P<0.01, n=3). Hcy promoted the expression of protein Bax, P53 (P<0.01, n=3) and enhanced the activity of caspase 3 (P<0.05, n=3). CONCLUSION: Homocysteine induces apoptosis in cultured hUVEC.  相似文献

AIM: To study and explore whether the antisense phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (ASODN) of bcl-2 oncogene would increase the apoptotic effect of As2O3 on NB4 leukemic cells. METHODS: The biological and morphological changes in NB4 cells from microculture with As2O3, bcl-2 ASODN or both were observed. The changes in DNA content and Bcl-2 protein of NB4 cells from microculture with As2O3, bcl-2 ASODN or both were determined by tissue chemistry and flowcytometry. RESULTS: There was much more apoptotic effect of As2O3 on NB4 cells while it combined with bcl- 2 ASODN (ASODN 10.0 μmol/L+ As2O3 0.25 μmol/L) than alone(ASODN 10.0 μmol/L or As2O3 0.25μmol/L),and so did inhibitory effect of Bcl-2 protein expression by flow cytometry. CONCLUSION:The bcl-2 ASODN can enhance the apoptotic effect of As2O3 on NB4 leukemic cells.  相似文献

AIM: To evaluate the inhibitory effect of galactose (Gal)-polyethyleneimine (PEI)-c-myc antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) complex on proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. METHODS: Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Bel-7402 was treated with Gal-PEI-ASODN complex. Cell proliferation was tested by trypan blue dye at different time points and with various concentrations of ASODN treatment. Cell morphology was observed under inverted microscope, cell hypodiploid percentage was analyzed by flow cytometry and cell ultrastructure was observed through electron microscopy. RESULTS: Compared with ASODN group (20 μmol/L) from 0 h to 96 h, Gal-PEI-ASODN complex (with ASODN 0.75 μmol/L) significantly suppressed Bel-7402 cells proliferation, the ASODN concentration within Gal-PEI-ASODN complex and time course acquired were significantly lower and shorter, respectively. Incubated with pure ASODN at different concentrations for 72 hours, cell proliferation was inhibited and IC50 was 20.9 μmol/L; while mediated with galactose receptor for 48 hours, ASODN significantly inhibited cell proliferation and IC50 was only 0.294 μmol/L, the inhibitory efficacy of ASODN enhanced 70.9 folds. While Bel-7402 cells were incubated with Gal-PEI-ASODN complex for 48 hours, cell hypodiploid percentage was much higher than ASODN groups and cell apoptosis was seen under electron microscopy. CONCLUSIONS: Galactose receptor mediated ASODN delivery may significantly increase proliferation inhibition efficacy on Bel-7402 cells.  相似文献

AIM: To study the mechanism of oleanolic acid induced apoptosis and its influence on cell cycle in HL-60 cells in vitro. METHODS: The HL-60 cells were treated with different concentrations of oleanolic acid and then cultured for 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, respectively. MTT assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of oleanolic acid on HL-60 cells in vitro. The argarose gel electrophoresis was used to detect the chromatin DNA fragmentation. FACS was used to analyze the cell cycle of HL-60 cells. Western blotting was used to detect the activation of caspase-3 which has been confirmed the last execution of apoptosis pathway. RESULTS: MTT assay showed that oleanolic acid dramatically inhibited the growth of HL-60 cells in vitro, more than 50% HL-60 cells were inhibited when the cells were treated with 80 μmol/L oleanolic acid for 48 h; the apparent DNA ladder was detected after exposure of HL-60 cells to oleanolic acid for 48 h. FACS analysis showed that cell cycle of HL-60 cells was arrested in G1 phase, the inhibition ratio of HL-60 cells achieved 63.24% and 67.90% after treated with oleanolic acid for 48 h and 72 h correspondingly. Western blotting detected the activation of caspase-3 after exposure of HL-60 cells to 80 μmol/L oleanolic acid for 48 h. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that oleanolic acid induces apoptosis and the cell cycle of HL-60 cells is arrested in G1 phase.  相似文献

AIM:To study the effect of cytochrome C on HL-60 cells in vitro and the expression of relevant apoptotic genes.METHODS:HL-60 cells were treated with different concentrations of cytochrome C for 24 h.The suppressing rate was assayed by MTT.The morphology of cell was observed by microscope and fluorescence microscope.The apoptosis was assayed by flow cytometry (FCM) and DNA electrophoresis.The expression changes of bcl-2 and bcl-xl mRNA was examined by RT-PCR.RESULTS:The suppressing rate increased with the increase in the cytochrome C concentrations.When treated with 0-37.5 mg/L cytochrome C for 24 h,the percentage of apoptotic HL-60 cells increased in a dose-dependent manner,and the typical cells and the appearance of apoptotic DNA ladder were observed.At the same time,within this range of concentration,the expression of bcl-2 and bcl-xl mRNA decreased gradually.When treated with cytochrome C at concentration higher than 37.5 mg/L,the percentage of apoptotic HL-60 cells did not increase,but decreased,while the cell necrosis was observed.CONCLUSIONS:It suggested from the results that at certain range of concentration,cytochrome C induces apoptosis or necrosis in HL-60 cells.The percentage of apoptosis,the changes of expression of bcl-2 and bcl-xl depend on the dose of cytochrome C.The mechanism that cytochrome C induces apoptosis in HL-60 cells may be related to suppressing the expression of bcl-2 and bcl-xl.  相似文献

AIM: To construct a tetracycline-inducible H1 RNAi system of hTERT and to study the apoptosis rates and survival rates of tetracycline-inducible hTERT RNAi cell line. METHODS: The tetracycline-inducible H1 RNAi system for hTERT was constructed and transfected into TREx-HeLa cell line. The inhibitory effects were determined by RT-PCR and TRAP. The proliferation of the cell line in two groups was assayed by MTT test. The apoptotic rates were estimated by using Hoechst33342 and FACS. RESULTS: Tetracycline-inducible H1 RNAi system of hTERT was constructed successfully and TREx-HeLa cell induciblely interfered with hTERT was cultured successfully. As to the different cell lines, different influences after telomerase activity were declined. For TREx-HeLa cell, declined telomerase activity reduced proliferation but had no remarkable influence in apoptosis during short time. CONCLUSION: Tetracycline-inducible H1 RNAi system of hTERT and the assay of the proliferation and apoptosis of the TREx-HeLa cell provide the basis for further research.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the effects of liposomes survivin antisense oligonucleotides (ASODN) on growth of human hepatic carcinoma transplanted subcutaneously in nude mice. METHODS: Nude mouse model of human hepatic cancer was established by transplantation of hepatic cancer cell line SMMC-7721/ADM subcutaneously. Models were divided randomly into six groups: control group, liposome group, sense oligonucleotide (SODN) group, 200 μg/L, 400 μg/L and 600 μg/L ASODN groups. Different treatments were given respectively. Weight and volume of subcutaneous tumors were measured, and tumor growth inhibitory rate was calculated. Morphological changes of transplanted tumor cells were observed under light microscope. The expression of Survivin was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The growth of tumors was significantly inhibits in all ASODN groups compared with control, liposome and SODN groups (P<0.05). Volume of subcutaneous tumors decreased in a time-dependent and dosage-dependent manner (P<0.5). CONCLUSION: Survivin ASODN inhibits the growth of human hepatic carcinoma in nude mice.  相似文献

AIM: To study apoptotic injury induced by reactive oxygen species-hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on cardiac myocytes.METHODS:Cultured rat neonatal cardiac myocytes were treated with H2O2 of various concentration to observe apoptotic injury of cardiomyocytes by agarose gel electrophoresis, Giemsa-stained smears of cell, and flow cytometry, meanwhile lactate dehydrogenas (LDH) and malondialdehyde(MDA) were determined to assess the effect of H2O2 on lipid peroxidation and permeability of the plasma membrane. RESULTS: 5 mmol/L H2O2 caused cultured cardiomyocytes apoptotic morphological characteristics, including nucleosomal DNA fragmentation in myocytes by agarose gel electrophoresis (DNA ladder), cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation, and chromatin margin by Giemsa-stained cell smears, and aneuploid peak(AP)-apoptotic bodies occurrence by flow cytometry.CONCLUSIONS: H2O2-induced apoptosis in myocytes was a time-and concentration-dependent process. Treatment with low concentration of H2O2(<1 mmol/L) only caused cardiomyocyted early biochemical changes, such as increase of free radicals level and membrane permeability ,which were pro-apoptotic injurious features. High concentration of H2O2 (>10 mmol/L) rapidly induced a necrotic form of death characterized by smeared patterns of DNA digestion on agarose gel electrophoresis and lethal membrane disruption (as measured by LDH release). Exposure of 5~10 mmol/L H2O2 induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis concurrently with biochemical changes of LDH and MDA increase in the medium.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the feasibility and its mechanisms of improving therapeutic effect by antisense gene therapy combined with chemotherapy in osteosarcoma. METHODS:The human osteosarcoma implanted tumor model in the nude mice was established. By intratumoral injection and abdominal cavity administration, the tumor bearing mice were treated with survivin ASODN in combination with diamminedichloroplatinum (DDP) for a week. Comparison with each single-agent therapy and control group was performed in aspects such as tumor growth condition, pathological changes of tumor tissues;survivin protein expression in tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry, survivin mRNA expression levels by RT-PCR method and tumor apoptosis by Tdt-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). RESULTS:All nude mice survived the therapy. As compared with the control group, the antisense gene therapy group presented synchronous decrease in survivin mRNA and protein expression;all therapy group displayed tumor growth inhibition and cell apoptosis with different extent;while in contrast to single-agent therapy group, the combined therapy group showed stronger inhibition of tumor growth and abundant tumor cell apoptosis with the highest apoptotic rate. CONCLUSION:Synergistic effect was achieved by combination of DDP with ASODN that may overcome drug resistant of DDP and the combined strategy may shed new light on the cancer therapy.  相似文献

AIM:To study the apoptosis induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor,celecoxib and adriamycin (ADM) on tumor apoptosis of gastric carcinoma MGC-803 cells, and to explore their possible molecular mechanism(s) and interactions.METHODS:The number of MGC-803 cells was observed by MTT assay. Tumor apoptosis was studied by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry (FCM), and DNA ladder. RESULTS:MGC-803 cell number was significantly decreased with increasing dose of ADM. Cells were accumulated in G0/G1 phase and the number of cells in S phase was decreased. ADM (5 mg/L) combined with celecoxib (25 μmol/L) markably inhibited the growth of MGC-803 cells. Significant morphological changes of typical apoptosis were observed after treatment with combined use of celecoxib and ADM. Compared with ADM or celecoxib alone, ADM plus celecoxib obviously enhanced the DNA ladder fragment revealed by agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA. After exposure to combined celecoxib and ADM treatment for 48 h, MGC-803 cells were accumulated in G0/G1 phase. There was a decrease in the number of cells in S phase as compared to celecoxib or ADM alone. CONCLUSION:Celecoxib and ADM appear to have synergistic effects for the apoptosis induction. This may be an important prospect for applying COX-2 inhibitors to assist chemical therapy of ADM in clinical use.  相似文献
