ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the effect of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine on proliferation and apoptosis of ovarian cancer cell lines(SKOV3 and 3AO)and on expression of mismatch repair(MMR)genes(hMLH1 and hMSH2)in SKOV3 and 3AO cells.Methods:Human ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3 and 3AO were treated for 3 d with 5-aza-CdR(0.5,5,50 ?mol/L),a specific demethylation agent,and then cultured in RPMI 1640 medium for another 7 d.The cells growth was observed by MTT assay before and after 5-aza-CdR treatment and the cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.The expression of hMLH1 and hMSH2 mRNA was examined by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results:5-aza-CdR(0.5,5,50 ?mol/L)obviously inhibited the growth of SKOV3 and 3AO cells compared in a concentration dependent manner.The apoptosis rates of SKOV3 cells were(10.59?1.57)%,(17.52?1.72)%,(34.10?1.45)% after treated with 0.5,5,50 ?mol/L 5-aza-CdR,respectively;and the apoptosis rates of 3AO cells were(11.11?2.21)%,(17.24?1.11)%,and(26.53?2.00)%,respectively,which were all markedly higher than those of control group(P
