目的:观察诱导分化剂笨乙酸(Phenylacetate,PA)抑制结直肠癌细胞HCT-8增殖过程中C-myc基因表达的变化,方法:应用噻唑蓝(MTT)比色法,以1.0、2.0、3.0、4.0、5.0mmol/L的PA作用于HCT-8细胞,分别于24、48、72h对细胞增殖进行检测.应用原位分子杂交方法观察应用PA后对HCT-8细胞C-myc mRNA表达的情况。结果:1.0.5.0mmol/LPA作用HCT-8细胞24-72h.随着PA浓度的增加或作用时间的延长,细胞生长抑制率明显增加,PA作用24h为5.1%~24.3%.48h为16.7%~72.3%.72h为30.2%~93.4%PA治疗后HCT-8细胞C-myc mRNA阳性表达率为(12.05±7.92)%,显著低于非治疗组中的阳性率(55.15±21.64)%(P〈0.01)。结论:PA可有效抑制结直肠癌HCT-8细胞的增殖.PA对C-myc基因具有明显的抑制作用
Objective: To observe the changes in C-myc mRNA expression in HCT-8 colorectal carcinoma cells treated with phenylacetate (PA). Methods: HCT-8 cells were cultured in the presence of PA at 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 mmol/L The cellular proliferation inhibitory ratio was evaluated by MTT assay 24h, 48h, and 72h later, and C-myc mHNA expression in the HCT-8 cell line was detected by an in situ hybridization test. Results: With increased PA concentration and extended ct, hure time, the inhibitory rate of tumor cell growth was notably increased. The inhibitory rates were 5.1%-24.3%, 16.7%-72.3%, and 30.2%-93.4% in cells cuhured for 24h, 48h, and 72h, respectively. The expression rate of C-myc was lower in cells cultured in PA than that in cells cuhured without PA, with a significant difference (P〈0.05). Conclusion: PA can downregulate C-myc mRNA expression and inhibit the growth of colorectal carcinoma cells.
