Effect of Caveolin-1 on growth of human gastric cancer cell Line MGC803

AIM: To investigate the effect of Caveolin-1 on the proliferation and differentiation of gastric carcinoma cell line MGC803, and explore the probability that Caveolin-1 can be used for gene therapy. METHODS: Caveolin-1 gene and Pcl-neo control plasmid were transfected into human MGC803 cell line by lipofectin, respectively. The positive clones were selected by G418. We also stabled a positive control group which was treated with PD98059 for 48 hours. Then the expression of Caveolin-1 in each group was detected by Western blot. Cell morphology was observed under optical microscope. Cell population doubling time was determined by cell counting method and cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The expression of Caveolin-1 was significantly higher in the cells treated with Caveolin-1 or PD98059 than that in the empty controls (P < 0.001, q = 23.067 or 13.3376). Furthermore, Caveolin-1 expression was also markedly higher in the cells transfected with Caveolin-1 than that in the positive controls (P < 0.001, q = 9.7294). Under light microscope, marked changes occurred in cell morphous after gene transfection. Before transfection, the cells had a significant heteromorphism, with the features of large cell body, little cytoplasm, obvious karyokinesis. While in Caveolin-1-transfected MGC803 cells, the cell malignancy declined as the cellular heteromorphism diminished, with the ratio of nuclear-to-cytoplasm decreased, and the karyokinesis disappeared. Caveolin-1-trans-fected cells had an extended doubling time (65.46 h vs 46.67 h, P < 0.05, q = 4.8695). At same time, the population of Caveolin-1-transfected cells in G0/G1 phase was obviously increased (P < 0.01, q = 9.1824) while that in S phase was decreased (P < 0.01, q = 7.827). There were also notable differences in cell cycle distribution between Cave-olin-1-transfected cells and the positive controls (G0/G1 P < 0.01, q = 4.9323; S: P < 0.05, q = 3.3295). CONCLUSION: Caveolin-1 not only induces the differentiation of MGC803 cells, but also blocks them at in G0/G1 phase. Caveolin-1 can inhibit the proliferation of MGC803 cells in vitro by prolonging the cell doubling time.
