ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of a selective inhibitor of COX-2 nimesulide on growth and apoptosis of human cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939 in vitro. Methods MTT assay was used to determine the influence of nimesulide on the proliferation of QBC939 cells, apoptosis of QBC939 was measured by transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry.Expression of apoptosis related genes mRNA and bcl-2 ,bax, survivin were detected by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. Results Nimesulide effects a dose-dependent and time-dependent growth inhibition on QBC939 cells. High concentration of nimesulide (200 ?mol/L) not only inhibits the growth of QBC939 cells but also induces apoptosis cell nuclear condensation and apoptotic bodies were seen by transmission electron microscopy. Immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR shows upregulation of bax and down regulation of bcl-2 and survivin. Conclusion Nimesulide significantly inhibits the proliferation of QBC939 in vitro by induction of apoptosis in a dose- and time- dependent manner.
