    Abstract:
    The DNA content of the epithelium cells and the characteristics of cell proliferation cycle of various phase of malignant transformation were analysed by flow-cytometry. Comparison has been made amony three cell lines withdifferent proliferation capacityf33the normal esophgeal epithelium(NRE),the anaplasticepithelium induced by NSEE(DRE) and RE25 -3 (malignant transformation cell from DRE) Without using carcinogen in vitro .The experimental results showed that, NRE cells and DRE :ells have similar DNA content, DI-1.0, while the DI of various generations of the kE25-3 cells incerased to 1.60--3.36. The analysis of the cell proliferation cycle showed that the percentage of S phase cells was 5.04% in NRE, 29.92% in DRE, while in R-E5-3 it increased froml0.62%to 45.85% much higher than NRE and DRE. When RE25-3 was transplanted to the nude mice (RE25/N) its S phase cell decreased markedly which impress that the proliferation capacity of the cell may be affected by the immunity of the host.

    Aim:To investigate the effects of reservatrol(RES) on the cell cycle,apoptosis and expression of PDCD5 mRNA in renal cell carcinoma 786-0 cells.Methods:786-0 cells in the experimental group were cultured with the medium containing 25 μmol/L RES for 24,48 and 72 h,and the cells in the blank control group were cultured with the medium without RES.The cell cycle phase distribution and the cell apoptosis of 786-0 cells were analyzed by using flow cytometry;and the expression of PDCD5 mRNA was analyzed by using in situ hybridization.Results:786-0 cells in the experimental group at G1 phase and G2 phase ratio decreased significantly,and the proportion of S phase significantly increased after RES treatment for 24 h.The mRNA level of PDCD5 expression and the number of apoptotic cells in the experimental group were higher than the blank control group at 24,48 and 72 h.Conclusion:RES could upregulate the expression of PDCD5 mRNA in 786-0 cells,which induces cell apoptosis by arresting cells at S phase.

    Objective To investigate the effects of MS-275 on the proliferation of oral squamous cell carcinoma(Tca-8113) and promotion of apoptosis. Methods Oral squamous cell carcinoma was intervened with 0,0.5,1,2,4,and 8μmol/L MS-275,and the morphologic changes of Tca-8113 cells were observed by the inverted phase contrastmicroscope.The cell proliferative activity was measured by MTT assay,the cell apoptotic rates were detected by flow cytometry through Annexin-V-FITC/PI staining,and cell cycles were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results ① Under the inverted phase contrast microscope,no changes of cell morphology could be observed in the control,with cells polygonal,adherent and active.However,the changes could be observed in groups treated with MS-275 at 2,4μmol/L for 48h.The cells became smaller and round,and shrunk cells increased.② A time-and dose-dependent inhibition was detected in Tca-8113 cells that were treated with different concentrations of MS-275 for 24,48 and 72h,with difference of proliferative inhibition between the control and the treated groups(P0.05).③ Cell apoptosis rate was 41.28% and 53.71% respectively with 2 and 4μmol/L MS-275 treatment for 48h,and cell cycles arrest in G0/G1,with statistical difference. Conclusion MS-275 inhibits the growth of oral squamous cell carcinoma,time-and dose-dependent,and promotes cell apoptosis and blocks cell cycle.

    OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of cell apoptosis , MDR1 protein expression and cell cycle on human bladder cancer cell BIU-87 treated by arsenic trioxide (As 2O 3).METHODS: The cell growth inhibitory rates of BIU-87 cell were tested by MTT assay with various concentration As 2O 3 and various time. Fas, bcl-2 , MDR1 protein expression and cell cycle changes were detected by flow cytometry after 72 hours treated with various concentration As 2O 3.RESULTS: As 2O 3 effectively inhibited the growth of BIU-87 cell, which was positive correlation with concentration of As 2O 3 and reaction time,P0.05. Fas expression was positive correlation with the increasing concentration and bcl-2 expression was negative so,P0.05. It was negative correlation with the increasing concentration between Fas and bcl-2 expression,P0.05. MDR1 protein expression treated with 1 μmol/L As 2O 3 was higher than control, but it treated with 2 μmol/L and 5 μmol/L was lower than control,P0.05.Cell cycle was arrested in G 0/G 1 phase with the increasing As 2O 3 concentration.CONCLUSIONS: As 2O 3 could significantly inhibit the growth of bladder cancer cells. Inducing cell apoptosis and arrested cell cycle were probably its important action mechanism.

    Objective To investigate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid( ATRA) on the cell proliferation and differentiation of human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. Methods In the experimental group,human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 was treated with 1x10- 6mol / L ATRA; and in the control group,the SKOV3 cells were not treated with ATRA. The inhibitory rate of cell proliferation was calculated with MTT assay,the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry,the expression level of N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1( NDRG1) was determined by immunohistochemistry method and the cellular morphological changes were observed by inverted microscope. Results Compared with the control group,both the inhibitory rate of cell proliferation and the expression level of NDRG1 were higher in the experimental group( all P 0. 05). In the experimental group,along with the extension of treated time,the number of cells in the G1/ G0phases was increased and was decreased in the S phase; meanwhile,the inverted microscope showed the cells were in poor growth,and had slowing proliferation and few disintegration.

    The growth rate of a tumor is dependent on both cell proliferation and cell loss. We have established subpopulations of human colon cancer cells with different in vivo growth rates by selecting the cells according to their adhesiveness to laminin-1 in vitro.Laminin-1-adhesion selected colon cancer cells were injected into the cecal wall of nude mice. The tumors were examined 30 days later. Cell proliferation was assessed by proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) index and apoptotic cells were labeled by digoxigenin-11-dUTP using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase.The laminin-1-adherent cells, which formed larger tumors in vivo, showed increased proliferative activity and reduced apoptosis in comparison with the laminin-1-nonadherent cells.Laminin-1 may enhance the malignant behavior of colon cancer cells by accelerating proliferation as well as by decreasing cell loss.
