EFFECT OF SOYBEAN ISOFLAVONE ON PROLIFERATION AND EXPRESSION OF HIF-1? IN GASTRIC CANCER CELL SGC-7901 DURING HYPOXIA / 营养学报

ABSTRACT

Objetive To study the effect of soybean isoflavone(SI) on the growth of gastric cancer cell SGC-7901 during hypoxia and its mechanisms. Method: The environment of hypoxia was established by GasPaK method. The effect of SI was determined by MTT and FCM which was used for studying apoptosis and cell cycle of SGC-7901. Electron microscopy was used to study the effects of SI on apoptosis and necrosis of SGC-7901. Cell-immunochemistry was used to observe the change of hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1? and FAS expression. Results: SI could inhibit significantly the growth of SGC-7901, and arrest the cell in G2/M phases during normal and hypoxia environment. The inhibitory effect was elevated significantly during hypoxia. Electron microscopy showed the cell apoptosis and necrosis. FAS expression was elevated by SI during normal and hypoxia environment, and HIF-1? expression was downregulated during hypoxia. Conclusion: SI can inhibit SGC-7901 cell growth via arrest of cell cycle, elevated expression of FAS, apoptosis and necrosis induction and other pathways. The inhibition of the increased HIF-1? expression is probably the mechanism of the inhibitory effects of SI during hypoxia.
