葡多酚对人乳腺癌细胞增殖的抑制作用研究

目的研究葡多酚(GPC)对人乳腺癌(MCF-7)细胞增殖活性的影响及雌激素受体(ER)的调节作用。方法将GPC与MCF-7细胞共同培养,共设肿瘤细胞对照组、高、中、低(200、100、10μg/ml)剂量GPC组、ER阻断剂对照组(ICI10-6mol/L)和ER阻断剂(ICI10-6mol/L)+GPC(200μg/ml)6个组。用MTT法测定各组乳腺癌细胞的增殖活性水平,用免疫组化方法检测乳腺癌细胞中增殖细胞核抗原(PCNA)和Bax蛋白的表达水平。结果与肿瘤细胞对照组比,高剂量GPC组乳腺癌细胞的增殖活性水平和PCNA阳性表达率降低,Bax蛋白阳性表达率升高(P<0.05);ER阻断剂+GPC组乳腺癌细胞的增殖活性水平、PCNA阳性表达率,均较高剂量GPC组升高,Bax蛋白阳性表达率降低,各项差别均有显著性意义(P<0.05)。结论GPC可有效抑制人乳腺癌细胞的增殖,并促进其凋亡;其作用与ER调节有密切关系。

STUDY ON THE INHIBITION EFFECT OF PROCYANIDINS ON PROLIFERATION OF HUMAN BREAST CANCER CELLS

Objective To investigate the effect of grape procyanidins (GPC) and the regulation of estrogen receptor(ER)on proliferation of human breast cancer(MCF-7)cells. Method MCF-7 cells were cultured with GPC,and divided into six groups: tumor control,high,middle and low dose GPC treated,estrogen antagonist ICI 182. 780 (ICI) control,ICI and GPC combined treated. The proliferation activity level of MCF-7 cells was determined by MTT assay,and the levels of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Bax protein were measured by immunohistochemistry method. Results Compared with tumor control group,the level of proliferation activity and the expression of PCNA were significantly decreased in high dose GPC group,while the expression of Bax protein was increased significantly. Compared with high dose GPC group,both the proliferation activity and the PCNA expression were increased,and Bax protein expression decreased significantly in ICI and GPC combined treated group. Conclusion GPC can inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of human breast cancer cells effectively,and its mechanism is closely related to the regulation of ER.
