Methods: Total RNA was extracted from SGC-7901 cells to synthesized cDNA. The synthesized cDNA encoding pre-miRNA-451 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR product was separated by electrophoresis on 1% agarose gel and then recovered and purified. The purified cDNA fragments of miRNA-451 precursor sequence was then ligated with vector pLMP for 1 h by using DNA ligase to form pLMP- miRNA-451 plasmid. After that, the pLMP-miRNA-451 plasmid was transformed into E. coli DH5a strain expression system to clone and amplificate. The purified pLMP-miRNA-451 extracted from E. coli DH5a via transformation and clone screening was identificatied with restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing. At last, pLMP-miRNA-451 was transfected into SGC-7901 cells with lip2000. Real-time PCR was used for detection of the miRNA-451, the transfection efficiency was ob- served under fluorescence microscopy and cell counting kit-8 assay was conduced to evaluate the effect of miRNA-451 on SGC-7901 cell proliferation. Results: Our results showed that pLMP-miRNA-451 expression vector was not only constructed successfully and effectively infected SGC-7901 cells, but also could repress the SGC-7901 cell proliferation.

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 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

Etoposide, a semisynthetic derivative of the podophyllotoxins, is a clinically used anti-cancer reagent, but the effects of it on metastatic gastric carcinoma cells are totally unknown. In this study, etoposide induced apoptotic cell death in human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC-7901, derived from metastatic lymph nodes, as evidenced by the analysis of DNA fragmentation, apoptotic body formation, caspase activation, and apoptosis specific changes in cell morphology is demonstrated. The depolarization of mitochondrial membrane and the release of cytochrome c were most early events in etoposide treated SGC-7901 cells, and were followed by caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage. Caspase-8 activation was not detected under the same condition. Thus, it was proposed that etoposide induces caspase-associated apoptotic cell death in human metastatic gastric carcinoma, which is initiated by mitochondrial cytochrome c release.展开更多

METHODS: Moderately-differentiated human gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 and lowly-differentiated MGC-803 cells were treated with 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60 μmol/L PBA for 1-4 d. Cell proliferation was detected using the MTT colorimetric assay. Cell cycle distributions were examined using flow cytometry.RESULTS: The proliferation of gastric carcinoma cells was inhibited by PBA in a doseand time-dependent fashion. Flow cytometry showed that SGC-7901 cells treated with low concentrations of PBA were arrested at the G0/G1 phase, whereas cells treated with high concentrations of PBA were arrested at the G2/M phase. Although MGC-803 cells treated with low concentrations of PBA were also arrested at the G0/G1 phase, cells treated with high concentrations of PBA were arrested at the S phase. CONCLUSION: The growth inhibitory effect of PBA on gastric cancer cells is associated with alteration of the cell cycle. For moderately-differentiated gastric cancer cells, the cell cycle was arrested at the G0/G1 and G2/M phases. For lowly-differentiated gastric cancer cells, the cell cycle was arrested at the G0/G1 and S phases.展开更多
