Study on antineoplastic effect of earthworm coelomic fluid in vitro / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the antineoplastic effect in vitro of earthworm coelomic fluid (ECF)on growth inhibition and its mechanism for the tumor cell lines Siha, SW480, Colo205 and PC12.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>MTT colorimetric assay, flow cytometry and morphological analysis were used to test its antitumor activity on tumor cell lines and normal cell line Cos7 in vitro.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>ECF can inhibit the cell growth of Siha, SW480, Colo205, PC12 and Cos7. But different tumor cell lines showed different sensitivity.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>EFC can significantly inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells in vitro by inducing tumor cells apoptosis.</p>
