汉防己甲素对体外培养食管癌细胞放射增敏作用的初步研究

Radiosensitizing effect of tetrandrine in human esophageal carcinoma cells： A preliminary in vitro study

目的 探讨汉防己甲素对人食管癌TE1细胞放射增敏作用及其机制.方法 利用MTT法检测食管癌TE1细胞增殖活性影响,细胞克隆形成法测定汉防己甲素联合X射线对TE1细胞放射敏感性影响,Western blotting分析汉防己甲素联合X射线对TE1细胞周期蛋白表达的影响.结果 汉防己甲素对TE1细胞增殖抑制作用具有时间、浓度依赖性,1.00、5.00、10.00μg/ml浓度作用24 h时对TE1细胞增殖有抑制作用（F=3.09、10.43、24.00,P值均＜0.05）,0.10、1.00、5.00、10.00μg/ml浓度作用48 h时对TE1细胞增殖有更显著地抑制作用（F=4.12、12.77、44.28、48.53,P值均＜0.01）.随汉防己甲素浓度增加,TE1细胞的D0、Dq、SF2值均逐渐减小,0.5 μg/ml汉防己甲素的放射增敏比最大为1.60.汉方已甲素增加TE1细胞周期蛋白cyclin B1的表达,解除G2＋M期阻滞.结论 汉防己甲素对TE1细胞有放射增敏作用,其机制可能是通过增加周期蛋白cyclin B1表达解除细胞G2＋M期阻滞.

Objective To investigate the radiosensitizing effect of tetrandrine in human esophageal carcinoma cells （TE1） in vitro and its related mechanisms. Methods The cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. Colony formation was used to analyze radiosensitivity enhancement by tetrandrine in TE1cells. Western blotting was preformed to measure the cyclin B1 protein levels. Results Tetrandrine inhibited cell growth in a concentration and time depedant manner. The inhibition of proliferation was observed when cells were treated by 1.0, 5.0 and 10. 0 μg/ml tetrandrine for 24 h after irradiation （ P ＜0. 05;F= 3.09, 10.43 and 24. 00, respectively）. The inhibition was more significant when cell were treated by 0. 1, 1.0, 5.0 and 10. 0 μg/ml tetrandrine for 48 h than 24 hours after irradiation （F =4. 12,12. 77, 44. 28, and 48.53 respectively ,all P ＜ 0. 01 ）. The D0, Dq and SF2 decreased with the increase of the tetrandrine concentration. The maximal sensitizing enhancement ratio was 1.60 with 0. 5 μg/ml tetrandrine. Tetrandrine upregulated the expression of cyclin B1 and removed G2 / M arrest . Conclusions Tetrandrine can enhance radiosensitivity of TE1 cells. This effect may be associated with the increase of cyclin B1 expression to remove G2/M arrest.
