高浓度氨基酸对肿瘤细胞体外增殖的影响

本研究首先采用Hanks溶液作为介质,观察了不同氨基酸浓度(1～5mmol/L)对艾氏腹水癌细胞、瓦克癌肉瘤256细胞体外增殖的影响,然后以含有平衡氨基酸组成的Eagle最低必需培养基作为介质进一步观察了不同氨基酸浓度的增加对艾氏腹水癌细胞及人肝癌细胞(PLC/PRF/5)、肺癌细胞(AGTJ-a)体外增殖的影响,同时采用小鼠骨髓细胞观察了高浓度氨基酸对正常组织细胞可能产生的毒性作用。结果表明,尽管一些氨基酸浓度的增加有显著作用,但是不同肿瘤细胞对不同氨基酸浓度增加的反应不尽一致,而且一些氨基酸的作用受培养介质的明显影响;高浓度色氨酸对小鼠骨髓细胞的体外增殖有显著抑制作用。

EFFECTS OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF SINGLE AMINO ACIDS ON THE PROLIFERATION OF TUMOR CELLS IN VITRO

The effects of high concentrations (1-5mmol/L) of different amino acids in Hanks solution on the proliferation of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells and Walker 256 carcinosarcoma cells were examined. In order to demonstrate the inhibitory effect of some amino acids at high concentration level, the further studies were conducted on Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, human hepatoma cells and lung cancer cells, using Eagle's MEM as culture medium. The possible toxicity of the high concentrations of single amino acids to normal tissue cells was tested on mouse bone marrow cells. Although some amino acids exhibited a significant inhibitory effect, the responses of different tumor cells to the high concentrations of different amino acids were not entirely similar. Moreover, the effects presented by some amino acids on Ehrlich ascites tumor cells in Hanks solution could be diminished or eliminated in Eagle's MEM. Among the aromatic and basic amino acids, only the tryptophan was found to be inhibitory to the multiplication of mouse bone marrow cells at high concentration levels in vitro.
