ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate if the combined use of CDAⅡ and sodium butyrate can induce demethylation and re-expression of retinoic acid receptor?2(RAR?2)gene in cultured human breast cancer cells MCF7.To explore if the two drugs can inhibit cell growth and induce cell apoptosis synergetically.Methods:MCF7 cell line was treated with CDAⅡ,sodium butyrate,combination of the two drugs respectively.Methylation was assessed by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction(MSP)for RAR?2 gene.Gene expression was evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling(TUNEL)and Hoechst33342/propidiumiodide(PI)staining.Cell growth inhibition was measured by MTT assay.Results:Neither CDAⅡ nor sodium butyrate induced demethylation and re-expression of RAR?2 gene,Combination of the two drugs partially demethylated gene promoter accompanied by re-expression of RAR?2.The apoptotic cells in the double-drug group were obvious following Hoechst33342/PI staining.The percentage of apoptotic cells in the double-drug group was significantly higher than that of the two single-drug group(39.5% vs 5.2%,8.1%)(P
