Methods: The cytotoxicity of crebanine N-oxide was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide assay and cellular morphology was observed under a microscope. Cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry using propidium iodide staining. The expression levels of apoptotic-related proteins, cleaved caspase-3, cytochrome C, p53 and Bax, and autophagyrelated proteins p62, beclin1 and LC3 were detected by Western blotting assays. Results: Crebanine N-oxide treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells in a dose-dependent and timedependent manner via induction of G2-phase cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and autophagy in SGC-7901 cells.Conclusions: Crebanine N-oxide could inhibit the growth of gastric cancer cells by promoting apoptosis and autophagy and could be used as a potential agent for treating gastric cancer.展开更多

METHODS SGC-7901 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing different concentrations of nimesulide （0,12.5, 50, 100, 200, 400 μmol/L）. The MTT assay, morphological observation, electron microscopy （EM）, immunohistochemical analysis and Western blot analysis were employed to investigate the effects of nimesulide on the SGC-7901 cells and to explore possible related molecular mechanisms. RESULTS Nimesulide inhibited the growth of SGC-7901 cells and elicited typical apoptotic morphologic changes. Nimesulide also decreased NF-κB and Bcl-2 expression, but increased the level of the Bax protein. The positive rate of Bcl-2 protein expression at 0, 50, 100 and 200 μmol/L of nimesulide was 58.3±14.0%, 50.2±9.9%, 32.8±5.0% and 22.7±5.5% respectively based on immunohistochemical staining. The positive rate of Bax protein expression was 22.0±5.7%, 29.2±6.5%, 42.7±5.9% and 74.5±9.1% and the NF-κB expression was 74.2±10.9%, 61.8±7.6%, 36.7±10.9% and 17.5±12.3%, Significant differences were found between so μmol/L and 100 μmol/L and 200μmol/L. Western blot analysis also showed that the expression of NF-κB was decreased. CONCLUSION Nimesulide suppresses tumor growth and induces apoptosis by inhibiting NF-κB expression, which may be related to the overexpression of Bax relative to Bcl-2 expression.展开更多

METHODS： Human ...AIM： To investigate the low intensity ultrasound （US）- induced apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma cells and its potential mechanism and to suggest a new therapeutic approach to gastric carcinoma. METHODS： Human SGC-7901 gastric carcinoma cells were cultured in vitro and irradiated by low intensity US for 10 min at different intensities with different incubation times after irradiation. Morphologic changes were examined under microscope with trypan blue staining and then the percentage of early apoptotic cells was detected by flow cytometry （FCM） with double staining of fiuorescein isothiocyanate （FITC）- Annexin V/propidium iodide （PI）. Two-dimensional electrophoresis （2DE） was used to get the protein profile and some proteins differently expressed after US irradiation were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF-MS）. Functional analysis was performed to investigate the mechanism of US-induced cell apoptosis. RESULTS： The percentage of apoptotic cells increased about 10% after US irradiation （12.0 W/cm^2, 12 h culture）, The percentage of early apoptosis and secondary necrosis in the US-irradiated cells increased with the increased US intensity. Moreover, apoptotic cells increased with the increased culture time after US irradiation and reached its maximum at about 12 h.Several new proteins appeared after US irradiation and were up or down regulated more than 2 times. Some heat shock proteins （HSPs） were found to be associated with the signal process simulating the apoptosis of cells. CONCLUSION： Low intensity US could induce apoptosis in human gastric carcinoma cells. US-induced apoptosis is related to US intensity/culture time. US-induced apoptosis may be caspases-dependent and endoplasmic reticulum （ER） stress-triggered apoptosis may also contribute to it. Proteomic experimental system is useful in finding the protein alteration in carcinoma cells after US irradiation, helping to develop a new cancer therapy.展开更多

文摘扫描近场光学显微镜突破衍射极限,具有纳米量级的空间分辨率,量子点(QD s)标记有荧光强度高且抗光漂白能力强等优点。结合上述两种技术,对人胃腺癌SGC-7901细胞膜表面特异性结合的叶酸受体(FR)进行成像探测,获得了叶酸受体在SGC-7901细胞膜表面上的分布,以及细胞内化外源性叶酸过程中叶酸受体在细胞膜表面的分布变化,成像的光学分辨率达到120 nm。实验结果表明:特异性结合的叶酸受体在SGC-7901细胞膜表面的分布,绝大部分是以聚集体的形式存在。随着SGC-7901细胞内化叶酸量的增加,叶酸受体在细胞膜表面的分布密度逐渐降低,并在经过120 m in左右趋于稳定。上述方法和手段为实现单细胞水平上靶点分布和变化的长期监测,肿瘤细胞内化受体的机制研究提供了新的技术途径。
