Influence of apatinib combined radiotherapy on HeLa cell cycle and apoptosis in vitro / 安徽医科大学学报

Objective To observe the effect of apatinib (APA) combined with radiotherapy on cell cycle and apoptosis of cervical cancer HeLa cells in vitro. Methods HeLa cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group, drug group, radiotherapy group and joint group. Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry, and the changes of HeLa cell cycle and apoptosis after radiotherapy were analyzed. Results Retardant of G0/G1 phase for joint group was obviously higher than control and radiotherapy group (P ＜ 0. 05). S phase percentage of joint group was minimum when compared with control group (P ＜0. 05), while there was no significant difference when compared with radiotherapy group. Apoptosis rate of joint group was higher than control group and drug group (P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion APA combined with radiotherapy shows significant G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest, but no significant induction of apoptosis.

Study on Effects of Podophyllotoxin Derivative QW-83 on Human Cervical Cancer HeLa Cell Apoptosis and Its Mechanism / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of podophyllotoxin derivative QW-83 on human cervical cancer HeLa cell apopto-sis and its mechanism. METHODS:After treated with 0(negative control),0.01,0.1,1 and 10 μmol/L QW-83 and positive drug etoposide(VP-16)for 48 h,proliferation inhibition rate and IC50 of HeLa cell were determined by MTT assay. The morphological changes of HeLa cell were observed by Hochest 33342 staining after treated with QW-83 [0(negative control),2.5,5,10μmol/L] for 48 h;flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis rate;semi quantitative RT-PCR was adopted to detect the expression of apop-tosis related gene P53,Bax,Casepase-3,Casepase-8,Casepase-9 and Bcl-2 mRNA. RESULTS:Compared with negative control, 1,10 μmol/L VP-16 and QW-83 had obvious proliferation inhibition effect on HeLa cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and IC50 were (5.11±0.43)μmol/L and(4.96±0.54)μmol/L. Hochest 33342 staining results showed QW-83 could obviously induce cells apopto-sis and nuclear pyknosis. Flow cytometry showed QW-83 could increase apoptosis rate in concentration-dependent manner,being 16.89%-62.56%. RT-PCR showed mRNA expression of P53,Bax,Caspase-3,Casepase-8 and Casepase-9,Bcl-2/Bax increased, while mRNA expression of Bcl-2 decreased after treated with QW-83(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Podophyllotoxin derivative QW-83 can induce HeLa cell apoptosis,and its mechanism may be associated with regulate mRNA expression of apoptosis related gene.

Study on Effects and Mechanism of Rapamycin on Invasion and Metastasis of Cervical Cancer HeLa Cells / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects and mechanism of rapamycin on invasion and metastasis of cervical cancer HeLa cell. METHODS:HeLa cells were divided into control group and rapamycin low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups (10, 30,100 nmol/L). After treated for 48 h,cell viability was measured by MTT assay,and inhibitory rate was calculated;migration and invasion of cell was tested by Transwell assay. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2),MMP-9,Vimentin and E-cadherin,and phosphorylation of protein kinase B (Akt),mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were detected by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with control group,the inhibition rate of cell viability was increased in rapamycin groups(P<0.01);the number of invasion and metastasis cells decreased(P<0.01);the expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 and Vimentin were decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05);the expression of E-cadherin was enhanced(P<0.01 or P<0.05);the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR were reduced (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Rapamycin could inhibit invasion and metastasis of HeLa cell via Akt/mTOR signal pathway.

Effects of Indometacin on Apoptosis and Proliferation of Cervical Cancer Hela Cell / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of indometacin on apootosis and proliferation of cervical cancer Hela cell. METH-ODS:Hela cell was cultured in vitro as study object,and cultured with 0(blank control),200,400,600,800 and 1 000 μmol/L indometacin for 24,48 and 72 h. The inhibitory rate of indometacin to the proliferation of Hela cells was detected by MTT assay. After treated with 0(blank control),400,600 and 800 μmol/L indometacin for 24 h,the change of cellular morphology was ob-served by invert microscope;cell cycle phase and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. RESUITS:Indometacin of 600, 800,1 000μmol/L could inhibit the proliferation of Hela cell,which was positively correlated to drug concentration and time. Com-pared with blank control,indometacin could induce that Hela cell transformed from polygonous to round in appearance,and result-ed in cell apoptosis and necrosis;the proportion of cells at G0/G1 phase increased,while the proportion of cells at S phase reduced;the apoptotic rate of cells raised. CONCLUSIONS:Indometacin could inhibit the proliferation of Hela cell,block cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and induce apoptosis.
