The roles of adiponectin in the cell apoptosis and cell cycle of T47D breast cancer cell line / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the role of adiponectin in the cell growth,apoptosis and cell cycle of the T47D breast cancer cell line and to find out the pathogenesis of breast cancer.Methods The cell cycle of the T47D cell line was examined by flow cytometry and apoptosis was detected by Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI stain method.Results T47D cell line adhered to the cell wall by single layer culture,irregular shape,and cell amounts increased over time.(1) Though different concentrations of adiponectin had a certain action on restraining the cell in different times,there were no significance(P＞0.05).(2)After treated with 500 ng/ml and 2000 ng/ml adiponectin on T47D cells for 48 h,the proportion of G0/G1 phase was (91.07±0.63)％,(91.60±0.98)％,respectively.Compared with the control group (85.31±1.07)％,the difference was statistically significant(F=29.277,P=0.011).But the difference of S and G2/M phase was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(3) The difference of early apoptosis rate among control group,500 ng/ml and 2000 ng/ml adiponectin was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The same concentration of adiponectin could not induce the early apoptosis and total apoptosis of T47D cells(P＞0.05,respectively).Conclusion The low adiponectin level may be the risk factor of breast cancer.The adiponectin may regulate the distribution of cell cycle.It may induce G0/G1 phase arrest of T47D cells and reduce the DNA synthesis.It suggested that adiponectin may serve as a protective factor of breast cancer development.
