Methods LNCaP and PC-3 cells were exposed to genistein and daldzein and cell viability was determined by MTF assay and cytotoxicity of the drugs by LDH test. Flow cytometry （FCM） was used to assess the cell cycle in LNCaP and PC-3 cells. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） was applied to examine the expression of PTEN gene （a tumor suppressor gene）, estrogen receptor alpha gene （ERα）, estrogen receptor beta gene （ERβ）, androgen receptor gene （AR） and vascular endothelial growth factor gene （VEGF）. Results The viability of PC-3 and LNCaP cells decreased with increasing concentrations and exposure time of genistein and daidzein. Genistein increased G2/M phase cells in PC 3 cells while decreased S phase cells in LNCaP cells in a dose-dependent manner. Daidzein exerted no influence on the cell cycle of LNCaP and PC-3 cells, but the apoptosis percentage of LNCaP cells was elevated significantly by daidzein, Genistein induced the expression of PTEN gene in PC-3 and LNCaP cells. Daidzein induced the expression of PTEN gene in LNCaP but not in PC-3 cells. The expression of VEGF, ERα and ERβ genes decreased and AR gene was not expressed after incubation with genistein and daldzein in PC-3 cells. In LNCaP cells, the expression of VEGF and AR gene decreased but there was no change in the expression of ERα and ERβ gene after incubation with genistein and daidzein. Conclusion Genistein and daidzein exert a timeand dose-dependent inhibitory effect on PC-3 and LNCaP cells. The down-regulation of ER gene by daidzein influences the growth of PC-3 ceils directly, The inhibition of PC-3 cells by genistein and that of LNCaP cells by genistein and daidzein may be via Alct pathway that is repressed by PTEN gene, which subsequently down-regulates the expression of AR and VEGF genes. Our results suggest that the expression of PTEN gene plays a key role and several pathways may be involved in the suppression of prostate cancer cells by genistein and daidzein.展开更多

Tan-IIA could inhibit human pancreatic cancer BxPC-3 cells through decreasing TCTP, Mcl-1 and Bcl-xl expression in vitro. Our previous study showed that Tan-IIA can inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma hep-J5 cells and human breast cancer BT-20 cells through inducing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In the present study, we investigated the ER stress related protein expressions in human pancreatic cancer BxPC3 cells were treated with Tan-IIA. The ER stress related protein expressions in human pancreatic cancer BxPC-3 cells were evaluated by western blotting. The results showed that Tan-IIA can increase the protein expressions of PERK, ATF6, Caspase-12 and CHOP, but decrease Bip, PDI, Calnexin, Calreticulin and Bcl-2 expression. These findings indicated that Tan-IIA can inhibit human pancreatic cancer BxPC-3 cells by inducing ER stress to induce apoptosis.展开更多

Material & Methods Forty ICR mice were randomly allocated into 4 groups, among them, 2 experimental groups were injected with GnRHa+HMG+hCG, another 2 groups were given saline of same volume as control group. The uterine tissues were investigated at 24 h and 48 h after administration (experimental group) or ovulation (control group).The endometrial thickness, the size of gland and glandular lumen, the total area of glandular cells, the average height of glandular epithelium were measured from routine histological slides using computerized image analysis. The SP immunohistochemistry techniques with monoclonal antibodies were employed to semi quantitatively analize the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in glandular cells. Results The endometrial thickness was not significantly different between experimental groups and control groups at 24 h and 48 h (P>0.05).The average area, perimeter, maximal diameter of single gland and glandular lumen, the total area, average height of glandular epithelium in experimental groups were significantly smaller than those of in control groups at equivalent time stages (all P<0.01). The asynchronous development of gland epithelium and stroma cells, namely, pesudostratified glandular epithelium and predecidual changes of stroma cells were seen at same time in experimental groups. The positive percentage (%) and expression intense of ER and PR in glandular epithelium cells were significantly lower in experimental groups than in control groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The protocol with GnRHa had a negative effect on endometrial histological structure and down regulated the express of ER and PR, suggesting that this protocol effect on the endometrial morphology and function and could not facilitate the formation of a physiologic endometrium completely, which may be one of the causes of low pregnancy rates.展开更多
