Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. Cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins CyclinE mRNA and P21waf1 mRNA was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR）. MTT staining colorimetry showed that HLECs proliferation was markedly inhibited by NO-Fluvastatin and the effect was dependently related to time （24, 48 and 72 h） and dosage （1, 5 and 20 μmol/L）. Flow cytometry revealed that NO-Fluvastatin could significantly block HLECs in the G0/G1 phase, resulting in the increased cells in the G0/G1 phase and decreased in the S phase （P〈0.05）. RT-PCR showed that NO-Fluvastatin could obviously inhibit the CyclinE mRNA expression and induce the P21waf1 mRNA expression as compared with the negative control groups （P〈0.05）. This experiment suggested that NO-Fluvastatin could suppress the proliferation of HLECs by regulating cell cycle regulatory proteins （inhibiting the expression of CyclinE mRNA and inducing the expression of P21waf1 mRNA）, resulting in the arrest of HLECs in the G0/G1 phase, which can offer theory basis for NO-Fluvastatin in treating posterior capsular opacification in clinic practice.展开更多

These findings suggested thatthe Bcl- 2 gene fam ily indeed participated in the regulatory process of apoptosis induced by curcumin in HL - 6 0 cells and AML cells.Curcumin can induce apoptosis of primary acute myelogenous leukemic cells and disturb cell cycle progression of HL - 6 0 cells.The m echanism appeared to be m ediated by perturbing G0 / G1 phases checkpoints which associated with up- regulation of P2 7kipl,P2 1wafl and p Rbp- expression,and down- regulation of cyclin D3.展开更多

Fluorescence microscopy showed that 80% of U251 cells expressed green fluorescence. Real-time reverse transcription PCR showed that microRNA-7-3 RNA expression in U251 cells was significantly increased. Proliferation was slowed in transfected U251 cells, and most cells were in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In addition, the expression of the serine/threonine protein kinase 2 was decreased. Results suggested that transfection with a lentivirus carrying microRNA-7-3 can effectively suppress epidermal growth factor receptor pathway activity in U251 cells, arrest cell cycle transition from GI phase to S phase and inhibit glioma cell growth.展开更多

Methods： The MCs used in this experiment have undergone five passages induced by lipopolysaccharide （LPS）. Changes in the proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle regulatory proteins and mRNA expression levels of the MCs after administration of Benazepril or QFTL were measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） reduction assay, flow cytometry, Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction （qRT-PCR）, respectively. Results： The addition of Benazepril or QFTL serum inhibited LPS-induced MC proliferation after treatment for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）. Moreover, the inhibitory effect is more significant in the QFTL group at 48 h （P〈0.05）. Compared with the control group, LPS-induced cell proliferation decreased the number of cells in G1 phase versus cells in S and G2/M phases, while the addition of QFTL and Benazepril serum increased the ratio of cells at G1 phase （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01） to cells at S phase （P〈0.01）, implicating the cell cycle inhibition effect exerted by QFTL. LPS decreased the level of MC apoptosis, compared with the control group （P〈0.05）, while QFTL and Benazepril serum increased the level of MC apoptosis （P〈0.01）. Moreover, the difference between the QFTL group and the Benazepril group was statistically significant （P〈0.01）. Compared with the control group, the protein and mRNA expression levels of cylinD1, cyclin dependent kinase 2 （CDK2） and p21 were significantly increased （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）, p27 was decreased but with no statistical significance （P〉0.05）; After being treated with QFTL and Benazepril serum, the protein and mRNA expression levels of cylinD1, CDK2, p21 were decreased and p27 increased significantly （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）; Compared with the Benazepril group, QFTL show better effects on protein and mRNA expression levels of cylinD1, CDK2 （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01） and p21 protein expression （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： QFTL inhibits MCs proliferation, promotes MCs apoptosis through an underlying mechanism of down-regulating the protein and mRNA expression levels of cylinD1, CDK2, p21 and up-regulation of the expression level of p27.展开更多
