Abstract:
Objective
To investigate the anti-cancer mechanisms of aitongke,its impact on proliferation,apoptosis and its underlying mechanisms in human gastric cancer cells SGC-7901.
Methods
SGC-7901 cells were treated by aitongke of different concentrations,the proliferating rate,the apoptosis rate,cell cycle and retinoblastoma(Rb)gene mRNA level change of SGC-7901 cells were evaluated by CCK method,flow cytometry analysis and RT-PCR method respectively.
Results
Aitongke (2~50mg/L)could effectivelyinhibited SGC-7901 cellproliferationandinducedcellapoptosis,bothwithatime-dosedependentmanner.Cellsaccumulated in thegap 1 (G1)phases,whilereduced inthegap2and mitosis (G2/M)phasesofthecellcycle,and theapoptosispeak significantly occurred.Aitongke could upregulate the expression of Rb gene,and with a dose dependent manner.
Conclusion
Aitongke has a potential role on anti-gastric cancer by inhibiting proliferation of SGC-7901 cell,as well as inducing cell apoptosis.And the apoptosis-inducing mechanism is mediated through the G1 blocking of cell cycle in SGC-7901 cells involved with the up-regulating expression of Rb gene.
