Inhibitation of Paclitaxel-Chitosan Sustain iflm on biliary ifbroblasts cell proliferation / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of Paclitaxel-Chitosan Sustain film on growth, apoptosis and cell cycle of biliary fibroblasts cells. Methods Human biliary fibroblasts cells were cultured and treated with PTX-CSF and naked PTX,separately, untreated cells as blank control. The experiment was divided into five groupsuntreated group, simple PTX-treated group (250nM) and low, medium and high chitosan sustained-release film PTX-treated group (100 nM, 250 nM, 500 nM). The proliferations of cells were determined by MTT assay. The apoptosis and cell cycle of cells were detected by FCM. Results The proliferation of biliary fibroblasts cells was inhibited by PTX-CSF with time-dependent and dose-dependent, and the inhibiting effect was more obvious than naked PTX treatment as the time went on. Meanwhile, PTX-CSF could inhibit the magration of bile duct fibroblasts induced by TGF-β1,and had longer effect than naked PTX. After 72 h, the apoptosis rate of cells treated with PTX-CSF was significantly higher than cells treated with naked PTX or untreated cells(P<0.05), the difference between naked PTX or untreated cells was not significant. Compared with untreated cells, the proportion of G 2/M in cells treated with PTX or PTX-CSF were significantly increased, and the former was sinificantly higher than the latter(P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with naked PTX, PTX-CSF has strong cytotoxic effects and obviously sustained-release effect. The effective concentration can be maintain for a long time by PTX-CSF, and it could be as the novel drug delivery system to continuously inhibit proliferation of bile duct fibroblasts.
