The in vivo activity of nanoparticles delivering the MK-ASODNs was analyzed by histopathological and immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: The in vitro proliferation of HepG2 cells was signif icantly inhibited by the nanoparticles packaged with MK-ASODNs (NANO-ASODNs). Furthermore, the NANO- ASODNs signif icantly inhibited the growth of HCC in the mouse model. CONCLUSION: NANO-ASODNs can significantly suppress the growth of HCC in vitro and in vivo.展开更多

Methods: Human cervical HeLa cells were cultured in vitro. The inhibitory effect of Casticin on the viability of human cervical cancer HeLa ceils was evaluated by the MTT assay. The colony formation ability was detected by plate colony formation assay. Distribution of cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein expression levels were analyzed by Western blot. Results: Casticin significantly inhibited the growth of human cervical cancer HeLa cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and the IC50 was 2.82 μg/mL. The colony-forming rate was reduced drastically compared with control group (P 〈 0.05). The cells were markedly arrested at G2/M phase after the treatment of Casticin for 48 h. Western blot showed that the expression of p21 protein was up-regulated and protein level of Cyctin B1 was depressed by Casticin in a concentration dependent manner. Conclusion: Casticin could inhibit the cell growth and lead to cell arrest in human cervical cancer HeLa cells, and the down-regulation of Cyclin B1 protein expression and activation of p21 protein might contribute to Casticin induced cell arrest in human cervical cancer HeLa cells.展开更多

Methods: Human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells were cultured in vitro. Inhibitory effect of LAF on the viability of HO-8910 cells was evaluated by the MTT assay. Apoptotic effect of different concentrations of LAF on HO-8910 cells was assessed by AO/EB staining and FCM with propidium iodide (PI) staining. Expression of proteins related to apoptosis was analyzed by Western blot. Results: LAF significantly inhibited the viability of HO-8910 cells proliferation in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner, there were statistical significance compared with NS group (P 〈 0.05), and the ICso was 4.28 pg/mL for 48 h. The cells treated with LAF showed typical morphological change and apoptotic rate increased by FCM in a dose-dependent, and there was notable dif- ference compared with NS group (P 〈 0.05). Western blot showed that expression of Fas, caspase-8, tBid and Cyto-c proteins were up-regulated after treatment with LAF for 48 h in a concentration dependent. Conclusion: LAF could inhibit HO-8910 cells proliferation and induce apoptosis, which may be through the pathway of death receptor in vitro.展开更多
