目的:评价白花丹素对黑素瘤细胞体外增殖及凋亡的影响。方法:体外培养黑素瘤细胞A375细胞株,应用不同浓度的白花丹素进行处理,培养24h后,MTT法测定对细胞增殖的影响;用流式细胞术检测细胞的凋亡率;Western blot检测bcl-2的表达。结果:浓度为1~13μmol/L的白花丹素能显著抑制A375细胞株的增殖,且随浓度增加抑制作用递增;白花丹素作用24h的半数抑制浓度约为10μmol/L;当浓度为2.5μmol/L、5.0μmol/L和10.0μmol/L作用24h,细胞的凋亡率分别为8.52%±0.96%、14.83%±1.34%和19.56%±1.85%,与空白对照组(4.58%±0.46%)比较差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);细胞内bcl-2蛋白表达量随药物浓度升高而递减,与对照组比较差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论:白花丹素体外能抑制黑素瘤细胞增殖,并诱导细胞凋亡及下调黑素瘤细胞bcl-2蛋白的表达。
Objective: To assess the effects of plumbagin on proliferation and apoptosis of human melanoma cell A375 in vitro. Methods: Human melanoma cell A375 was cultured and treated with plumbagin in different concentrations for 24 h. Cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay, apoptosis by/low cytometry. The expression of bcl - 2 was detected by Western blot. Results: Compared with blank control group, plumbagin (at concentration of 1 - 13 μmol/L) significantly inhibited the proliferation of tumor cells in a dose - dependent manner ( P 〈 0.05). After treated with plumbagin for 24 h, the apoptosis rate was 8.52%±0.96%, 14.83%±1.34% and 19.56%±1.85% at 2.5 μmol/L, 5.0 μmol/L and 10.0 μmol/L of plumbagin, respectively, when compared to 4.58%±0.46% in untreated cells ( P 〈 0.05). The expression of bcl - 2 protein was down - regulated in plumbagin - treated groups compared with blank control group (P 〈 0.05), with a negative dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: Plumbagin can induce cell apeptosis, down - regulate the expression of bcl - 2 and inhibit the proliferation of human melanoma A375 cells.
