ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of exogenous WAF 1 S gene on human laryngeal cancer Hep 2 cell line, and to explore the potential use of WAF 1 S in gene therapy for laryngeal cancer. Methods A eukaryotic expression vector containing 2 1kb human full length WAF 1 S cDNA was transfected into human laryngeal cancer Hep 2 cell line by using lipofectamine. Expression of exogenous WAF 1 S gene was detected by dot blot hybridization. By using Western blot and confocal microscope, expression of p21 protein was quantitatively analyzed in situ . The growth state of transfected Hep 2 cell was determined by flow cytometry and MTT. Results It was found by dot blot hybridization that WAF 1 S gene could express in Hep 2 cell. The expression of the exogenous p21 gene in Hep 2 cells was markedly higher than that in the control group. It was confirmed with flow cytometry that WAF 1 S gene could induce apoptosis of laryngeal cancer Hep 2 cell line, and the progression of cell cycle was arrested at G 1 phase. Conclusion Laryngeal cancer cells could be arrested at G 1 /S phase and the growth of the cells could be significantly suppressed by exogenous WAF 1 S gene
