Effect of Multiple Thermotherapy on Proliferation Cycle and bcl-2 mRNA of HepG2 Cell / 中国普外基础与临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the proliferation rate of HepG2 cell after multiple thermotherapy and the possible reasons related to it. Methods After HepG2 cell were treaded by ten repeated cycles of heat exposure at 43 ℃ for 80 minutes twice a day, the doubling time of cell was analyzed, and the cell cycle, bcl-2 mRNA and bax mRNA were detected. Results The proliferation rate of HepG2 cell which treated with heat speeded up, the percentage of G2 and S in cell cycle increased, the expression of bcl-2 mRNA strengthened and the rate of bcl-2/bax increased. Conclusion The speeded proliferation of HepG2 cell after multiple thermotherapy is related to its high percentage of DNA duplicated and dividing cell, strengthened expression of bcl-2 mRNA and increased rate of bcl-2/bax.
