Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor Trichostatin A Modulates Cell Cycle in A2780 Human Ovarian Cancer Cell Line / 中国医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the effect and mechanism of trichostatin A（TSA）on cell cycle in human ovarian cancer cells.Methods Human ovarian cancer cell line A2780 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplement.Flow cytometry analysis and RT-PCR were used to examine the distribution of cell cycles and the level of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA.Results TSA induced increase of G2/M cells increased after the treatment of TSA for 36 hours（P 0.05）;the level of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA expression was upregulated after TSA treatment for 12 hours,the highest leve of its expression occurred at 24 hours,the expression level begun to decrease at 48 hours（P 0.05）.TSA simultaneously induced the decrease of S phase cells in a concentration-dependent manne（rP 0.05）.TSA upregulated the expression of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA in a concentration-dependent manner（P 0.05）.Conclusion TSA could block the G2/M phase and inhibits cell proliferation of A2780 cells through upregulating the expression of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA and the activate cyclin-dependent kinase.
