OVEREXPRESSION OF p27~(KIP1) INHIBITS GROWTH OF SGC7901 CELLS / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

To elucidate the effect of p27 KIP1 on cell cycle and proliferation of gastric carcinoma cells, we transfected the full e length cDNA of p27 KIP1 into human SGC7910 gastric cancer cells by the method of lipofectin transfection. Expression of p27 KIP1 at protein or mRNA level was analyzed by Western blotting, and RNA dot blotting, respectively. Effect of p27 KIP1 on cell growth was observed by trpan blue exclusion assay and anchorage independent growth in soft agar. Flow cytometry was applied to assess the effect of p27 KIP1 on cell cycle. The results showed that the expression of p27 KIP1 at protein or mRNA level increased evidently in SGC7901 cells transfected with p27 KIP1 . The cell growth was reduced by 42% 48h post induction with zinc as determined by cell viability assay. The rate of anchorage independent growth in soft agar decreased significantly. p27 KIP1 over expression caused cell arrest at G 1 by 36%(from 33 68% to 69 29%, P
