ABSTRACT
STGC3, a novel tumor related gene, was cloned recently. The previous studies indicated that STGC3 can inhibit the proliferation of CNE2 cell line in vitro. To examine the effect of STGC3 on the tumorigenicity of CNE2 cell line and explore its mechanism in nude mice. The Tet/pTRE/CNE2-STGC3 cell line was planted under the front leg skin of nude mice and induced by doxycycline (Dox). The mRNA and protein level of STGC3 in transplanted tumor tissues were detected with RT-PCR and Western Blotting. The apoptosis ratio of the tumor cell was analyzed with flow cytometry. STGC3, Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were examined by immunohistochemistry method. The results indicated that high level of STGC3 expression can inhibit tumorigenicity of CNE2 cell line in nude mice. Tumor grew slowly, later and smaller. Cell apoptotic percentage increased. Bcl-2 protein expression was down-regulated and Bax protein expression was up-regulated in Tet/pTRE/CNE2-STGC3 cell line (P
ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the arrest effect of diallyl disulfide(DADS) in the cell cycle of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma SW480 cell line and its molecular mechanism.Mothdes The growth inhibition effect of DADS of different concentrations on SW480 cell line was measured by MTT assay and cell counting.Phase distribution of cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry.Expression of Ubiquitin and FKBP was determined by Western blot.Results The MTT assay showed that DADS inhibited growth of SW480 cells significantly in a dose-dependent manner.Adding 25,35,50 and 70 mg?L-1 DADS for 48 hours,SW480 cell growth was suppressed by 18.67%,33.02%,49.12% and 66.86%,respectively.There were significant differences between the treated and controlled cases(P
