Effect of uroacitides on apoptosis of breast cancer cells / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of CDA-II on apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Methods The effects of CDA-II on growth curve, cell apoptosis and morphology of breast carcinoma cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 were observed by in vitro cultures, and compared with the classical cell differentiation inducer ATRA. MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines have their different biologic characteristics. Results CDA-II can reduce growth and proliferation ability and induce cell apoptosis of breast cancer cell lines( MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). Conclusions CDA-II has remarkable effect of anti-cell-proliferation and induction of (apoptosis) on breast cancer cells MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 . Our results provide experimental bases for the treatment of breast carcinoma with CDA-II.
