Effect of diallyl disulfide on G_1 arrest in human colon cancer cell / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To explore the effects of DADS in the cell cycle of HT-29 cells. Methods HT-29 cells growth inhibition were measured by MTT assay and cell counting. Phase distribution of cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. Expression of p21~(Waf1),C-myc,Cyclin E was determined by immunohisto- chemistry analysis. Results MTT assay showed that DADS significantly inhibited HT-29 cells and exhibited a time, dose- dependent model. Adding 60 ?mol?L~(-1) and 120 ?mol?L~(-1) DADS for 24 h suppressed HT-29 growth by 23.1%,45.6% respectively. Cell counting showed that average doubling time retarded from 22.58 h in normal cultured HT-29 cells to 31.2 h in 60umol?L~(-1) DADS experimented HT-29 cells(P
