Effect of high-dose vitamin C on MMP2 expression and invasive ability in human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1 / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of high-dose vitamin C on MMP2 expression and invasive ability in PANC-1. Methods Transwell invasion assay was used to compare the invasive ability of PANC-1 cells in different concentrations of vitamin C treated groups. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect and compare the levels of MMP2 mRNA and protein expression in each group. Results Compared with the 0mM vitamin C treated group, the mRNA expression of MMP2 was significantly decreased in 1.0,5.0,10. 0mM group(0. 510 ±0. 004 vs 0. 792 ±0. 006, 0. 391 ±0. 007 vs 0. 792 ±0. 006, 0. 282 ±0. 008vs 0. 792 ± 0. 006, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Compared with the 0mM vitamin C treated group, the protein expression of MMP2 was significantly decreased in 1.0,5.0,10. 0mM group(0. 519 ±0. 004 vs 0. 761 ±0. 014,0. 310 ±0. 007 vs 0. 761 ±0. 014,0. 297 ±0. 008 vs 0. 761 ±0. 014, P ＜0. 05). Compared with the 0mM vitamin C treated group, the invaded cell number was significantly decreased in 1.0,5.0,10. 0mM groups ( 452 ± 22 vs653 ± 28,340 ± 32 vs 653 ± 28,409 ± 33 vs 653 ± 28, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion High-dose vitamin C can decrease the expression of MMP2 in PANC-1 cells, and weaken its invasive ability.
