目的:探讨环氧合酶-2(cyclooxygenase-2,COX-2)选择性抑制剂NS-398对人肝癌BEL-7402细胞凋亡及凋亡抑制蛋白survivin、XIAP和c-IAP1表达的调节作用。方法:用不同浓度的NS-398作用BEL-7402细胞后,MTT法测定细胞增殖抑制情况,FCM法和TUNEL法检测细胞凋亡情况,免疫细胞化学法检测COX-2、survivin、XIAP和c-IAP1蛋白的表达情况。结果:NS-398可以显著抑制BEL-7402细胞的增殖,诱导其凋亡。免疫细胞化学法检测结果显示,与未处理组相比,NS-398作用可使BEL-7402细胞中COX-2、survivin、XIAP和c-IAP1蛋白的表达明显下调(P〈0.01)。结论:NS-398对人肝癌细胞株BEL-7402有抑制细胞增殖和诱导细胞凋亡的作用,其机制可能与通过下调survivin、XIAP和c-IAP1的表达有关。
Objective:To investigate the effect and elucidate the mechanism of the selective cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)inhibitor NS-398 on apoptosis and survivin,XIAP and c-IAP1 expressions of hepatocarcinoma cell lines.Methods:The proliferation of hepatocarcinoma BEL-7402 cells treated with NS-298 at different concentrations were evaluated by MTT assay.The apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry(FCM) and TUNEL assay.Expressions of COX-2,survivin,XIAP and c-IAP1 were analyzed by immunocytochemical staining.Results: NS-398 significantly inhibited cell proliferation of BEL-7402 cells and induced apoptosis.Immunocytochemisty indicated that the expressions of COX-2,survivin,XIAP and c-IAP1 were significantly down-regulated in BEL-7402 cells by NS-398 treatment compared with untreatment group(P0.01).Conclusion:NS-398 inhibits the proliferation and induced apoptosis of BEL-7402 cells.The mechanism may be related with down-regulation of the survivin,XIAP and c-IAP1 expression.
