Effects of 6， 7－ dimethoxycoumarins on Cell Proliferation and Cell Generation Cycle of Human Lung Car_cinoma Cell in Vitro / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

AIM： To investigate the effects of 6， 7－ dimethoxycoumarins on the proliferation and the cell cycle of human lung carcinoma cell（ PA） in vitro METHODS： The effects of 6， 7－ dimethoxycoumarins on the cytomorphology， growth and cell cycle of PA cells were evaluated by MTT assay and flow cytometry in vitro RESULTS： 6， 7－ dimethoxycoumarins could inhibit the proliferation of PA cells in a dose－ dependent manner The inhibition action of 6， 7－ dimethoxycoumarins plateaued at 160μ g/ml(52 4％ inhibition) The agent in dose of 80μ g/ml led to a decline in the proportion of cells to those in G2/M phase， made the cells remain in G0/G1 phase and reduced the proliferation index(PI) of PA cells CONCLUSION： In vitro， 6， 7－ dimethoxycoumarins can inhibit the proliferation of PA cells， which leads to arrest of the cells in G0/G1 phase by way of inhibiting DNA synthesis
