Fu induced by oligosaccharide from Fusarium oxysporum f. vasinfectum (Atkinson) Snyder et Hansen was studied in suspension cultures, and it was found that oligosaccharide triggered cell apoptosis. Under transmission electron microscope the following morphological changes were observed: cell shrinkage, condensation of cytoplasm, nuclear fragmentation, and the increase of high electron density bodies in vacuole in great quantity. In oligosaccharide_treated cells, agarose gel electrophoresis revealed that DNA was digested into oligonucleosomal fragments that were times of 200 bp appearing as DNA ladders. Control cells were in normal physiological state, they were intact, abundant in organelle and with integral nucleus DNA, and the rate of taxol biosynthesis in these cells was very low. After the oligosaccharide to the culture system, the defense system of cells was elicited and the secondary metabolism was strengthened, i.e. phenolics were accumulated in the medium, the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was increased quickly and secondary wall of cells was thickened. The activity of L _phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), the critical enzyme of the phenylpropanoid pathway, was increased promptly 1 h after elicitation. The rate of taxol production was improved sharply and the maximal taxol concentration at 72 h was six times that of control. Appearance of cell apoptosis was accompanied with the highest concentration of taxol in suspension cultures.展开更多

Methods The cells of experimental group (EG) were cultured in DMEM with 10% FCS and 150μg/mL CVPs-B, the cells of control group (CG) were cultured in DMEM with 10% FCS without CVPs-B. MTT reduction assay was performed to detect the effect of CVPs-B on the proliferation of Ecal09 cells after the compound was administrated in varying concentrations. The living conditions of the Ecal09 cells were determined using trypan blue exclusion. Then, cell growth curves were drawn. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the effect of CVPs-B on the apoptosis and cell cycle of Ecal09. Results In comparison with the CG, a marked decrease in the proliferation of Eca09 cells was observed in the EG, after incubation with CVPs-B. The survival rate of Eca09 cells decreased as the time of CVPs-B incubation prolonged. Comparing the cell cycles and apoptotic rates between the two groups, the proportions of cells in the G0/G1, S, and G2/M phases in the EG were found to be (68.4±3.7)%, (13.9±2.1)%, and (17.7±1.4)%, respectively, after 24 h incubation with CVPs-B. The cells had an apoptotic rate of (9.7±0.7)%. On the other hand, the proportions of the G0/G1, S, and G2/M cells of the CG were found to be (53.9±3.6)%, (26.6±2.8)%, and (19.5±2.3)%, respectively, with an apoptotic rate of (5.7±1.4)%. In comparison with the CG cells, significant cell growth in the G0/G1 phase was observed in the EG (P〈0.05). Furthermore, a significant decrease in the number of cells in the S phase was observed (P〈0.05) in the EG. Conclusions CVPs-B can inhibit proliferation and enhance apoptosis of Ecal09 cells and may be useful in the treatment of esophageal carcinoma.展开更多

Methods: Human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells were cultured in vitro. Inhibi- tory effect of ONY on the viability of HO-8910 cells was evaluated by the MTT assay. Apoptosis of HO-8910 cells treated with different concentrations of ONY for 48 h was detected by FCM. Expression of proteins related to apoptosis was analyzed by Western blot. Results: ONY significantly inhibited the viability of human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner, and the ICso was 10.48 pg/mL for 48 h. The cells treated with ONY showed typical morphological change of apoptosis and increased cells of sub-G1 population by FCM in a dose-dependent. Western blot showed that ex- pression of Bax, cytochrome C, caspase-9 and caspase-3 proteins were upregulated and protein level of Bcl-2 was depressed after treatment with ONY in a concentration dependent. Conclusion: Apoptosis of ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells was induced by ONY through mitochondrial apoptosis pathway in vitro.展开更多

Methods: Human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells were cultured in vitro. The inhibitory effect of SG1-1776 combination with DDP in sub-toxic concentration on induction on viability of human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells was evaiuated by the MTT assay. Cell apoptosis rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. The proteins expression level related to apoptosis were analyzed by Western blot. Results: SG1-1776 combination with DDP in sub-toxic concentration significantiy inhibited the proliferation of human ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells, and proliferation inhibition rate was increased drastically compared with normai saline (NS) group or DDP group in sub-toxic concentration or SG1-1776 group in sub-toxic concentration (P 〈 0.01). Apoptosis rate markedly increased after the treatment of SG1-1776 combination with DDP in sub-toxic concentration for 48 h. Western blot showed that the expression of bcl-2 protein was down-regulated and protein level of Bax and Cyto-c were depressed by SG1-1776 combination with DDP in sub-toxic concentration. Cenclusion: SG1-1776 combination with DDP in sub-toxic concentration could inhibit the cell proliferation and lead to cell apoptosis inhuman ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells, and its mechanism may be related to through mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.展开更多
