Methods: The proliferation of GA-treated JeKo-1 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay and Ki-67 immunocytochemical detection. Apopt0sis, cell cycle and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured by flow cytometric analysis. Caspase-3, -8 and -9 were detected by colorimetric assay. Bcl-2 and Bax were analyzed by Western blotting. Results: GA inhibited cell growth in a time- and dose- dependent manner. GA induces apoptosis in JeKo- 1 cells but not in normal bone marrow cells, which was involved in reducing the membrane potential of mitochondria, activating caspases-3, -8 and -9 and decreasing the ratio of Bd-2 and Bax without cell cycle arresting. Conclusions: GA induced apoptosis in human MCL JeKo-1 cells by regulating Bcl-2/Bax and activating caspase-3, -8 and -9 via mitochondrial pathway without affecting cell cycle.展开更多

Methods: The morphological, changes of Raji cells were observed in culture medium with IFN-α (500, 1000, 2000, 3000 U/L) and various concentrations of curcumin (6.25, 12.5, 25 μmol/L) for different time in vitro. The inhibitory ratio was measured by MTT assay. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The expression of caspase 6, caspase 8 and caspase 9 in Raji cells treated with IC5025 μmol/L curcumin with IFN-α was examined using Western blot. Results: IFN-α and curcumin could significantly inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis of RAji cells with synergistic effects. They could increase the expression of caspase 6, caspase 8 and caspase 9 in Raji cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Conclusion: The combined use of IFN-α and curcumin can inhibit the proliferation of B-NHL Raji cells apparently in vitro. Promotion of the expression of caspase 6, caspase 8, caspase 9 and induction of apoptosis might be one of the important mechanisms.展开更多
