AIM: To investigate the effects of baicalin on proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in human Burkitt lymphoma cell line CA46 and to explore its underlying mechanisms. METHODS: CA46 cells were exposed to baicalin at different dosages and its proliferation inhibition was detected by MTT assay. The ability of baicalin to induce CA46 cell apoptosis was examined by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining analysis, TUNEL labeling method and DNA fragmentation. The mRNA expressions of c-myc and bcl-2 were detected by RT-PCR, and the protein expressions of c-Myc, Bcl-2, caspase-3 precursor (procaspase-3) and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: Baicalin remarkably inhibited the CA46 cell proliferation, with an IC50 value of 10 μmol/L. Apoptosis was remarkably induced by baicalin in a dose-dependent manner, and its earlier and later stages were detected by annexin V-FITC/PI double staining analysis, TUNEL labeling method and DNA fragmentation, respectively. Furthermore, RT-PCR showed that the mRNA expressions of c-myc and bcl-2 in treated CA46 cells decreased in a time-dependent manner. Western blotting showed that the protein expressions of c-Myc, Bcl-2, procaspase-3 and PARP (116 kD) in baicalin treated CA46 cells were down-regulated in a time-dependent manner, while the expression of PARP(85 kD) was up-regulated. CONCLUSION: Baicalin efficiently induces proliferation inhibition and apoptosis in CA46 cells, which may be related with the down-regulation of c-Myc and Bcl-2 expressions, as well as the up-regulation of caspase-3 activity.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of protein S-nitrosylation on cAMP response element-binding protein(CREB) activity in RSC-364 cells. METHODS: ① RSC-364 cells cytoplasmic extracts were incubated with 100 μmol/L GSH (control chemical), 100 μmol/L GSNO (a donor of NO) in the presence or absence of 10 mmol/L DTT (inhibitor of S-nitrosylation) for 15 min at room temperature. The S-nitrosylated proteins were determined by biotin switch assay. The expression of S-nitrosylated proteins was assayed by Western blotting. ② RSC-364 cell nuclear extracts were subjected to S-nitrosylation and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) to analyze the CREB DNA binding activity after 1 h stimulation of rIL-1β (10 μg/L). RESULTS: GSNO obviously increased the expression of nitrosylated proteins and inhibited the CREB activity, which was reversed by DTT. CONCLUSION: S-nitrosylation may inhibit the CREB activity in RSC-364 cells.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate NIH3T3 cell proliferation and cell cycle in the condition of hypoxia or low nutrition and its response to bFGF, and to explore the pathophysiological changes of fibroblast under hypoxic or low nutrional conditions.METHODS: The cells were placed in anaerobic workstation where the mixture gas was given to simulate hypoxic environment. Partial oxygen pressure (PO2) of medium was controlled in 27 mmHg, 44 mmHg and 175mmHg. NIH3T3 cells were cultured with low nutritional medium contained new bovine serum (NCS) less than 10% to simulate low nutritional environment. MTT assay was used for observing cell activity and flow cytometry for cell cycle analysis.RESULTS: Under 44 mmHg PO2, no obvious difference was shown between hypoxia group and normal group. Under 27 mmHg PO2, the proliferation activity of NIH3T3 cells was significantly lower than that in normal group (P<0.01), as well as the cell numbers in G0-G1 phase increased (P<0.05), S phase decreased (P<0.01). bFGF had no effect on cell proliferation. In 0.5% NCS medium, the NIH3T3 cell proliferation speed decreased (P<0.01) and cell cycle was arrested at G0-G1 (P<0.01). The proliferation speed was improved by bFGF (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: In lower PO2 or lower nutrinal condition, fibroblast proliferation activity is inhibited by cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase. However the decreasing proliferation in low nutritional medium could be improved by external bFGF.  相似文献

AIM: To study the expression and roles of muscarinic cholinergic receptor 3 (M3R) in human small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells. METHODS: Human SCLC cell lines SBC3 and H82 were cultured in vitro. RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to investigate the expression of M3R. MTT assay and Boyden chamber assay were carried out to determine the roles of cholinergic receptor agonist acetylcholine iodide (ACh) and M3R antagonist 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide (4-DAMP) in the proliferation and migration of SBC3 cells. RESULTS: M3R was expressed in SBC3 and H82 cells. The relative protein expression of M3R normalized with β-actin in SBC3 was 2.65-fold higher than that in H82. ACh stimulated SBC3 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with ACh at concentrations of 10-4 and 10-3 mol/L significantly stimulated SBC3 cell growth at 48 h and 72 h (P＜0.01). SBC3 cell proliferation induced by ACh was inhibited by 4-DAMP in a dose-dependent manner. Pretreatment of the cells with 10-5 mol/L 4-DAMP suppressed the effect of ACh at 48 h (P＜0.05). Pretreatment with 4-DAMP at concentrations of 10-6, 10-7 (P＜0.05) and 10-5 mol/L (P＜0.01) inhibited the effect of ACh at 72 h. Treatment with 10-5 or 10-6 mol/L 4-DAMP alone inhibited the cell proliferation at 48 h (P＜0.01) and the inhibitory effect of 4-DAMP at concentration of 10-5 mol/L was stronger than that of 4-DAMP at concentration of 10-6 mol/L at 72 h. ACh increased the cell migration towards fibronectin (Fn) in a dose-dependent manner and ACh at concentration of 10-4 mol/L enhanced the cell migration by about 3 folds. The cell migration stimulated by 10-4 mol/L ACh was almost completely blocked by pretreatment with 4-DAMP at concentration of 10-6 or 10-5 mol/L (P＜0.01). CONCLUSION: M3R is expressed in human SCLC cells. The M3R antagonist inhibits SBC3 cell proliferation and migration.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the inhibitory effect of andrographolide （AG） on human osteosarcoma 143B cells and its underlying molecular mechanism. METHODS Osteosarcoma 143B cells were cultured in vitro and treated with AG at different concentrations (0~20 μmol/L), and the effect of AG on the proliferation of 143B cells was determined by crystal violet staining, MTT assay and colony formation assay. The wound-healing assay was performed to detect the migration ability of osteosarcoma 143B cells. Transwell assay was performed to analyze the invasive capacity of osteosarcoma 143B cells. The effect of AG on the apoptosis of osteosarcoma 143B cells was detected by Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry. After treatment with of AG at different concentrations, the protein levels of the molecules related to proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of osteosarcoma 143B cells were determined by Western blot. The expression of β-catenin and its related molecule c-Myc in the Wnt signaling pathway was analyzed by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with blank group, the proliferation, migration and invasion of osteosarcoma 143B cells in AG treatment group were significantly inhibited (P<0.05) in a concentration-dependent manner. The expression levels of invasion- and migration-related proteins matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), vimentin and Snail were all down-regulated (P<0.05). AG also increased the expression of antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, and the levels of apoptosis-related protein caspase-3 was decreased but cleaved caspase-3 was increased. At the same time, the expression levels of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway related proteins β-catenin and c-Myc were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Andrographolide may inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma 143B cells and promote their apoptosis by inhibiting the activity of Wnt signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effects of ［8-(diethylamino) octyl-3, 4, 5 -trimethoxybenzoate］ (TMB-8), an intracellular Ca2+ antagonist, on the activation, proliferation and cell-cycle distribution of the mouse T lymphocytes stimulated by concanvalin A (Con A) in vitro. METHODS: After stimulated with Con A, T cells were treated with different concentrations of TMB-8 alone and its combination with cyclosporine A (CsA). The expression of CD69, the early marker of CD3+ T cell activation, was measured by FACS. The proliferation-related index was determined by carboxyl fluorescin diacetate succinmidyl ester (CFDA-SE) flow cytometry. The cell-cycle distribution was analyzed by propidium iodide staining.RESULTS: After 6 h culture, the activation rate of CD69+ T cell in Con A group was (74.88±1.88)%. 10, 20 and 40 μmol/L of TMB-8 inhibited the expression of CD69 (P<0.01), especially in 40 μmol/L (52.55%±1.54%). After 48 h and 72 h culture, the PI of Con A group was 1.24±0.01, 2.05±0.07, respectively. TMB-8 with the concentration up to 5 μmol/L exerted a definite inhibitory effect on the proliferation with a maximal inhibition in 40 μmol/L(P<0.01). In the combination of 10 μmol/L of TMB-8 with 25 μg/L of CsA, an evident synergistic effect was observed (P<0.01). Moreover, the cell-cycle distribution analysis showed that after 48 h culture, the concentration of TMB-8 over 10 μmol/L showed an evident suppression in S phase.CONCLUSION: TMB-8 significantly inhibites the early steps of the Con A-induced T cell activation and proliferation, as well as the progression of T lymphocytes in S phase.  相似文献

AIM:To study the effect of VEGF on extracellular H2O2 production in HUVECs and the role of H2O2 in the VEGF-induced proliferation. METHODS:HUVECs was stimulated with 500 μg/L VEGF. Products of extracellular H2O2 was detected by H2DCFDA staining. MTT method was used to value the influences of 3×106 U/L catalase and 5-20 mmol/L H2O2 to VEGF function. RESULTS:After treatment for 15 min with VEGF, HUVECs appeared fluorescence, and continued to become stronger, peaked at 45 min then decreased. HUVECs, which was treated simultaneity with VEGF and 3×106 U/L catalase, only appeared very faint fluorescence. The proliferation of HUVECs by VEGF was restrained when treated with 3×106 U/L catalase. The extrinsic H2O2 at concentration of 5-10 mmol/L promoted the proliferation of HUVECs but inhibited the proliferation effect of VEGF on HUVECs (P<0.01). CONCLUSION:These findings indicate that VEGF induces HUVECs to produce extracellular H2O2 and plays role in proliferation, but extrinsic H2O2 restrains VEGF function.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate whether CD137 signaling molecules promote the proliferation of pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) by aerobic glycolysis. METHODS:The experiments of mouse PAECs were performed as follows. (1) Stimulating factors TNF-α (10 μg/L), ET-1 (10 mmol/L) and 5-HT (1 μmol/L) were used to stimulate the cells for 24 h. (2) After stimulation with TNF-α for 24 h, the cells were divided into control group, CD137 agonist group (treatment with 5 mg/L CD137L recombinant protein to activate CD137-CD137L signaling), c-Myc inhibitor group (pretreatment with 10 μmol/L c-Myc inhibitor 10074-G5, dissolved in DMSO, for 30 min, followed by treatment with 5 mg/L CD137L recombinant protein) and DMSO group (pretreated with DMSO at the same volume to c-Myc inhibitor group for 30 min followed by CD137L recombinant protein treatment). (3) After stimulated with TNF-α for 24 h, the cells were divided into control group, CD137 agonist group and 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) group (pretreatment with 10 mmol/L glycolysis inhibitor 2-DG for 30 min followed by CD137L recombinant protein treatment).The expression of membrane protein and total protein of CD137 in the PAECs was detected by flow cytometry and Western blot, respectively. The protein levels of glycolytic enzymes such as hexokinase (HK2), 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-diphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) and c-Myc were measured by Western blot. The enzyme activity of HK2 and PFKFB3 was detected by HK2 kit and PFK kit, respectively. Glucose oxidase method was used to measure the glucose uptake rate, and lactate colorimetric assay was conducted for analyzing lactic acid production. CCK-8 assay and EdU staining were used to detect proliferation of the PAECs. RESULTS:Compared with control group, TNF-α, ET-1 and 5-HT significantly increased the expression of CD137 membrane protein and total protein in the PAECs (P<0.05). The protein levels and enzyme activity of HK2 and PFKFB3 protein in CD137 agonist group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the lactic acid production and glucose consumption in CD137 agonist group were significantly increased. The protein level of c-Myc was significantly higher than that in control group after stimulation with CD137L recombinant protein, while c-Myc inhibitor 10074-G5 significantly inhibited the promoting effect of CD137L recombinant protein on glycolysis (P<0.05). The results of CCK-8 assay and EdU staining showed that the cell proliferation in CD137 agonist group was significantly increased compared with control group, while glycolysis inhibitor 2-DG significantly inhibited the proliferation-enhancing effect of CD137 signaling activation on the cells (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:CD137 signaling molecules may modulate the aerobic glycolysis by up-regulating c-Myc, thus promoting the proliferation of mouse PAECs.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the molecular mechanism of interleukin-6 induced insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.METHODS: 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with IL-6 at concentration of 20 μg/L within 48 hours. Insulin stimulated glucose uptake was measured by 2-deoxy ［3H］ glucose. Western blotting was used to measure insulin receptor substrate-1(IRS-1), protein kinase B(PKB) expression, tyrosine phosphorylation on IRS-1, and PKB phosphorylation. RESULTS: On basal status, glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 cells, PKB phosphorylation and tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 were all at low level. Insulin stimulation induced a rapid increase in glucose uptake, PKB phosphorylation and IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation. IL-6 inhibited insulin-induced glucose uptake and PKB phosphorylation level about 50%. After IL-6 treatment, IRS-1 protein expression and tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 were decreased 35% and 40%, respectively. The inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR), rapamycin, reversed above effects of IL-6. CONCLUSION: IL-6 induced insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes is related to decrease IRS-1 expression and impairs IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation. IL-6 induced insulin resistance in adipocytes may be related to the activity of mTOR.  相似文献

AIM To investigate the effects of simvastatin （SIM） on the proliferation of esophageal cancer Eca109 cells through NF-κB p65 pathway. METHODS Esophageal cancer Eca109 cells were cultured in vitro and treated with SIM at different concentrations （2 , 4, 8, 16 and 32 μmol/L）. The proliferation of Eca109 cells was measured by MTT assay and plate colony formation assay. The proliferation-related protein levels of cyclin D1, c-Myc, NF-κB p65 （p65） and IκB-α in the esophageal cancer Eca109 cells were determined by Western blot. ELISA was used to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor α （TNF-α） and interleukin-6 （IL-6） in the culture supernatant of Eca109 cells. RESULTS Compared with control group, the inhibitory effects of SIM at 2 , 4 , 8 and 16 μmol/L on the viability of Eca109 cells were increased in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manners （P<0.05）. Simultaneously, the inhibitory rates of SIM at 16 and 32 μmol/L on the viability of Eca109 cells showed no significant difference （P>0.05）. The inhibitory rates of SIM at 16 μmol/L on the viability of esophageal cancer cells was 50.61% at 48 h, which was closed to half of the inhibitory dose IC50, and it was used as the optimum concentration and time for follow-up experiments. Compared with control group, the plate colony formation rate of Eca109 cells, the protein levels of cyclinD1, c-Myc, nuclear p65, TNF-α and IL-6 in 8 and 16 μmol/L groups were decreased, while the levels of cytosolic p65 and IκB-α proteins were increased （P<0.05）. No significant difference of plate colony formation rate in Eca109 cells, and the protein levels of cyclin D1, c-Myc, nuclear and cytoplasmic p65, IκB-α, TNF-α and IL-6 between 16 μmol/L SIM group and 32 μmol/L SIM group was observed （P>0.05）. CONCLUSION Simvastatin inhibits the proliferation of esophageal cancer Eca109 cells, and its mechanism may be related to up-regulation of IκB-α, down-regulation of cyclinD1 and c-myc, inhibition of p65 nuclear translocation, and the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 downstream of NF-κB p65 pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the effects of kaempferol on the proliferation, invasion and migration abilities of HBx-HepG2 cells and to examine the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS: The expression levels of related genes at mRNA and protein levels were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The cell apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. The cell proliferation, growth, invasion and migration abilities were measured by MTT assay, colony formation assay, Transwell invasion assay and wound healing assay, respectively. RESULTS: Kaemferol inhibited HBx-HepG2 cell proliferation in a concentration-and time-dependent manner. Kaempferol at 100 μmol/L significantly inhibited the colony formation, invasion and migration abilities of the HBx-HepG2 cells. Kaemferol at 100 μmol/L also increased cell apoptotic rate, increased the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9 and Bax, and decreased the expression level of Bcl-2. In addition, kaemferol at 100 μmol/L suppressed the mRNA and protein expression levels of β-catenin, c-Myc and cyclin D1 in the HBx-HepG2 cells. Kaemferol at 100 μmol/L also suppressed the protein level of p-GSK-3β and the β-catenin protein levels in both cytoplasm and nucleus. LiCl treatment reversed the inhibitory effect of kaempferol on the growth, invasion and migration of the HBx-HepG2 cells. CONCLUSION: Kaempferol inhibits cell proliferation, invasion and migration via activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in HBx-HepG2 cells.  相似文献

AIM:To study the effect of activated protein C (APC) at different concentrations on apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).METHODS:The HUVECs were induced by LPS (1.0 mg/L) as apoptotic model that was administered by different concentration of APC (10 μg/L or 50 μg/L). Meanwhile, the control group and induced apoptosis group induced by LPS (1.0 mg/L) stimulation were also set up. The changes of cellular ultrastructures were observed under electron microscope. The DNA ladder and TUNEL fluorescent staining were measured in cells. Annexin-Ⅴ/PI double staining was used to measure the cell apoptosis rate by flow cytometry. Cell survival rate was measured by MTT assay. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression levels in cells were also measured by Western blotting to reflect the proliferation of the cells.RESULTS:There were significant apoptotic changes in the cells induced by LPS, but the apoptotic changes were reduced and apoptosis rates were decreased in the cells treated with APC. Meanwhile, cell survival rate and the protein levels of PCNA were increased after APC treatment, particularly at the concentration of 50 μg/L, which showed difference when compared with those induced apoptosis group by LPS (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:APC can inhibit HUVECs apoptosis induced by LPS and promote cell proliferation, thus protect the cells from injury.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the effects of microRNA-129-3p (miR-129-3p) on the viability and migration of NIH3T3 cells during transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-induced transformation into myofibroblasts and the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS: RT-qPCR was used to examine the relative expression of miR-129-3p in renal cell carcinoma (RCC)-adjacent tissues and fibrotic renal tissue. NIH3T3 cells were stimulated with TGF-β to transform into myofibroblasts, and miR-129-3p expression level was detected. After transfection with miR-129-3p mimics for 48 h in vitro, the cell viability was measured by MTT assay, the protein expression level of Ki-67 was determined by Western blot, and the cell migration was observed by wound healing assay. The direct target of miR-129-3p was predicted by online database TargetScan and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The expression level of target protein was further confirmed by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with the RCC-adjacent tissues, the expression of miR-129-3p was down-regulated in fibrotic renal tissue (P<0.01). In TGF-β-induced NIH3T3 cell transformation into myofibroblasts, the expression of miR-129-3p was also decreased (P<0.01). Transfection with miR-129-3p mimics followed by TGF-β stimulation in the NIH3T3 cells inhibited the viability, Ki-67 expression and migration. TargetScan analysis showed miR-129-3p had binding sites in the 3'-UTR of Smad3, which was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The results of Western blot further confirmed that miR-129-3p affected the expression of Smad3. CONCLUSION: miR-129-3p inhibits the viability and migration ability of NIH3T3 cells during TGF-β-induced transformation into myofibroblasts by directly targeting Smad3.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of total triterpenoids from Psidium guajava leaf (TTPGL) on 3T3-L1 adipocyte insulin resistance (IR) and to explore the possible mechanism. METHODS: 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were cultured and induced to differentiate into 3T3-L1 adipocytes, then treated with TTPGL (0.3, 1, 3, 10 μg/L) for 48 h. The cells were divided into 0.1% DMSO group, positive drug sodium orthovanadate (Van, 10 μmol/L) group, model group and control group. The effect of TTPGL on the cell activity of pre-adipocytes was detected by MTT assay and its influence on the cellular differentiation was observed by oil red O staining. The IR model of the 3T3-L1 adipocytes was established successfully and then treated with different drugs for 48 h. The glucose consumption in the supernatant of IR adipocyte's culture medium was assayed by glucose oxidase-peroxidase (GOD-POD), free fatty acid (FFA) levels were measured by colorimetric method, and adipocytokines levels were assayed by ELISA. The mRNA expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) of IR adipocyte was detected by real-time PCR. The protein levels of phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate 1/insulin receptor substrate 1 (p-IRS-1/IRS-1) and phosphorylated protein kinase B/protein kinase B (p-Akt/Akt) were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with DMSO group, TTPGL treatment significantly promoted the cell activity of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes and inhibited its differentiation (P < 0.01). TTPGL (1~10 μg/L) improved glucose consumption of IR adipocytes significantly (P < 0.01), with or without insulin stimulation, and TTPGL (0.3~3 μg/L) restrained FFA production remarkably(P < 0.01). Compared with model group, TTPGL (0.3 and 3 μg/L) significantly increased the secretion of adiponectin in IR adipocytes (P < 0.05), and inhibited the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (P < 0.01). TTPGL (3 μg/L) restrained the secretion of resistin significantly (P < 0.05), and showed no significant effect on secretion of leptin. It also down-regulated the mRNA expression of protein tyrosine phosphates 1B (PTP1B) in IR adipocytes significantly (P < 0.01), and increased the protein levels of p-IRS-1/IRS-1. TTPGL (0.3 and 3 μg/L) up-regulated the protein level of p-Akt/Akt in IR adipocytes significantly (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: TTPGL reduces IR in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The mechanism may be that TTPGL significantly down-regulated mRNA expression of PTP1B and increased the protein levels of p-IRS-1/IRS-1 and p-Akt/Akt in IR adipocytes.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of growth inhibition and its mechanism of thapsigargin (TG) on HLE-B3 cell line in vitro. METHODS: MTT assay was performed to detect the growth inhibition effect of TG on HLE-B3 cell line. Flow cytometry and DNA fragmentation were used to examine cell apoptosis. Western blotting analysis was used to determine the relative protein expression. Furthermore, the concentration of cytoplasm Ca2+ was assessed by fluorescence colorimetric assay. RESULTS: Different concentrations of TG significantly inhibited growth of HLE-B3 cells, and inhibitory concentrations of 50 percent at 12 h, 24 h and 48 h were (2.27±0.61) μmol/L, (0.77±0.12) μmol/L and (0.15±0.04) μmol/L, respectively. Moreover, TG induced cell apoptosis, decreased SERCA2 protein expression, and increased greatly the concentration of cytoplasm Ca2+, Bax and caspase 3 protein levels.CONCLUSION: TG inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in HLE-B3 cells in vitro. The mechanism may be through endoplasmic reticulum pathway. These observations may provide a novel strategy for the treatment of posterior capsular opacification.  相似文献

AIM:To observe the effect of curcumin on the proliferation and apoptosis of prostate cancer cell line LNCap. METHODS:LNCap cells were treated with different doses (10 μmol/L, 20 μmol/L, 30 μmol/L, 40 μmol/L) of curcumin and its effects were analyzed in cell growth and apoptosis by microscope, MTT colorimetric assay and flow cytometry. The expression of prostate specific antigen (PSA) was measured by AXSYMTM system-chemical luciferase methods and expression of androgen receptor (AR) was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS:The results showed that curcumin inhibited the proliferation of LNCap cells. The cell growth was inhibited by curcumin in a dose dependent manner and the optimal dose and time was 40 μmol/L, 24 h. Curcumin induced apoptosis in LNCap cells, the most dramatic dose was 40 μmol/L curcumin, at this dose the apoptosis rate was 9.23%. Curcumin inhibited the expression of PSA in LNCap cells and the most dramatic dose and time was 40 μmol/L, 24 h. The PSA in this group was 20% of the control group. Curcumin inhibited the expression of AR on prostate cancer cells. CONCLUSION:Curcumin decreases proliferation and induces apoptosis in LNCap cells in a dose-dependent manner. Curcumin also inhibites the expression of PSA and AR on LNCap cells.  相似文献

AIM:To evaluate the biological roles of TNF-α on the cartilage endplate cells (chondrocytes). METHODS:The chondrocytes were isolated and harvested from the cartilage endplate of New Zealand rabbits and then the biological characteristics of cells were identified by methods such as toluidine blue staining for type Ⅱ collagen. After different concentrations of TNF-α were added to culture medium respectively, the rate of the proliferation of chondrocytes in different time was measured with MTT. The protein expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, Fas and caspase-3 were measured by immunocytochemistry. The changes of the mRNA of aggrecan and type Ⅱ collagen were measured by RT-PCR. RESULTS:The TNF-α at concentration of 50 μg/L and 100 μg/L decreased the rate of the proliferation on chondrocytes. Though TNF-α at concentrations of 10 μg/L and 50 μg/L increased the level of Bax, Fas and caspase-3, only 50 μg/L TNF-α decreased the level of Bcl-2. TNF-α at concentrations of 10 μg/L and 50 μg/L decreased the level of collagen IIa mRNA and only 50 μg/L TNF-α decreased the level of aggrecan. CONCLUSION:TNF-α not only inhibits the proliferation and the matrix synthesis in chondrocytes, but also increases the expression of pro-apoptotic factors in chondrocytes.  相似文献

AIM: To study the inhibitory effect of genistein on apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (hUVECs) induced by monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1). METHODS: The hUVECs were cultured in vitro and identified. Growth-arrested hUVECs were stimulated with genistein at different concentrations (0.1 μmol, 1.0 μmol, 10 μmol, 100 μmol) and co-treated with MCP-1 (10 μg/L). The survival rates of hUVECs were detected by MTT assay. The cell cycle and DNA content were detected by flow cytometry. To explore the possible mechanism of the genistein interventions, the expressions of Bcl-2, Fas and Bax proteins were detected by flow cytometry and Western blotting.RESULTS: Genistein increased the survival rate and the level of Bcl-2, inhibited Fas and Bax, decreased the ratios of apoptosis compared with MCP-1-induced hUVECs apoptotic group in a dose-dependent-manner. CONCLUSION: Genistein inhibits the apoptosis induced by MCP-1 and the inhibitory effect was relative to the dose of genistein. Its mechanism might be involved in the down-regulation of Fas and Bax expressions and the up-regulation of Bcl-2.  相似文献
