Influence of PGE2 on biological behavior of colorectal cancer cells SW480 / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate whether prostaglandin E2(PGE2) can promote the ability of adhesion.migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells SW480 and its mechanism.Methods Extrinsic source PGE2 and the antagonist of EP1 SC19220 were added to the culture media. MTr assay was used to identify the adhesion ability of SW480 cells. Migration ability was tested by transwell plate.The invasion ability was tested bv ECM gel coated transweU plate. RT-PCR and western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Results The adhesion.invasion and migration ratio of SW480 ceils were all increased significantly after treated with PGEh the A values of adhesion ceils increased from 0.207±0.009 to 0.417±0.088. Migration cells increased from 6.33±0.33 to 43.33±0.88.invasion cells increased from 3.67±0.34 to 26.33±0.89(P＜0.05).The adhesion.migration and invasion cells of PGE2+SC 19220 group decreased significantly compared to PGE2 group.The A values of adhesion cells decreased from 0.417±0.088 to 0.140±0.006. Migration cells decreased from 43.33±0.88 to 28.00±0.58.invasion cells decreased from 26.33±0.89 to 5.67±0.33 (P＜0.05).The results of RT-PCR and western blotting showed that the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein increased in a dose dependent manner after PGE2 treatment. Conclusion The ability of adhesion. Migration and invasion of SW480increased after PGE2 was added to the culture media.It may be related to the upregulation of VEGF.
