Methods: lmmunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were used to investigate COX-2 expression in 6 HCC cell lines. MTT and Flowcytometry were used to evaluate the effect of the selective inhibitor of COX-2, NS-398, on HepG-2 cell lines. Results: All six HCC cell lines showed COX-2 expression at protein level. Five out of 6 cell lines showed COX-2 expression at mRNA level. NS-398 could suppress the growth of HepG-2 cell line, in a time and dose dependant manner. Conclusion: NS-398, a selective inhibitor of COX-2, showed inhibition effect on HepG-2 HCC cell line. The efficacy of inhibition was time and dose dependent, providing a new evidence for chemoprovention of hepatocellular carcinorma with COX-2 selective inhibitors.展开更多

Methods: Selec- tive COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 on the growth suppression was evaluated by MTT method. The apoptotic rate was quantified and cell cycle by flow cytometry (FCM). Invasive ability was detected by Transwell. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and COX-2 in cholangiocarcinoma line was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: NS-398 could be time-dose dependently inhibited the growth, induced apoptosis, invasived ability, S phase was inhibited, down-regulate the expression of VEGF and COX-2 in cholangiocarcinoma line (QBC939). Conclusion: NS398 can inhibit proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939 and inhibit the invasive ability and induce its apoptosis in vitro, which may contributed to the COX-2 dependent pathway to reduce the release of VEGF.展开更多
