[Methed] SGC-7901 cells were treat- ed with ligustrazine and DDP alone or combined for 48 h for morphology assay. Anti-proliferative effects with the same treatment for 24, 48 and 72 h were assayed by MTT method, respectively. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis assay of treated cells were performed in flow cytometry. Zhengjun Jin＇s protocol was used to assay the effect of drug combination. [Result] Ligustrazine significantly increased the prolif- eration inhibition rate of DDP on SGC-7901 cells in combination with DDP, com- paring with the effects of ligustrazine or DDP alone, and exhibited synergistic antitu- mor effect. The combination drug treatment induced cell cycle arrest occurred in S and G2 phase of the cell cycle and increased the apoptosis rate significantly. [Conclusion] Our results indicate that ligustrazine, as a low-toxic and natural herbal component, can significantly increase the anti-proliferative effect and apoptosis rate of antitumor drug DDP on human gastric carcinoma SGC：.-7901 cells.展开更多

To study induction of apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation in Hep-2 by antisense survivin RNA. Methods： Antisense survivin RNA expression vector was constructed and then was transfected to human laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2 by lipofectamine. HpEGFP/survivin cells （transfected with the combinant of antisense survivin RNA） were obstained by using G418. The levels of survivin protein before and after transfection were determined by Western-blot. Proliferation activity was measured by MTT assay. The experiment of colony formation in soft agar was carried out for assessing ability of proliferation of Hep-2 cell. Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry and acrdine orange（AO）. Results： After antisense survivin RNA plasmids were transfected, the level of survivin protein was inhibited in Hep-2. Compared with control, proliferation of HpEGFP/survivin cells were suppressed significantly. The experiment of colony formation in soft agar showed the ability of colony formation decreased in HpEGFP/survivin cells compared to control （P〈0.05）. Apoptosis rate increased about 1.81-folds compared with control. Conclusion.. The antisense survivin RNA can partly inhibit the level of surviivin protein expression in Hep-2 and can induce apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of Hep-2 by down-regulating the expression of endogenous survivin in vitro.展开更多

The effects of PTFCs separately or combined with arsenic trioxide on the proliferation and apoptosis of leukemia cells were determined by 3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide（MTT）, fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry. Their effects on the expression levels of apoptosisrelated regulators were determined by Western blot assay. PTFCs combined with arsenic trioxide significantly inhibited the growth of Kasumi-1 cells, and apoptosis was confirmed by flow cytometry analysis. Hoechst 33258 staining showed more significant morphological changes and more apoptosis following the combined treatment. Western blots showed changes in the expression of genes for poly ADP-ribose polymerase（PARP）, caspase 3/9, and P65. The results indicated that PTFCs separately or combined with arsenic trioxide inhibited proliferation of leukemia cells in vitro and induced their apoptosis by modulating the expression of apoptosis-related regulator genes.展开更多
