9-顺-维甲酸对肺癌细胞周期及周期因子表达的影响

目的探讨9-顺-维甲酸对肺癌细胞周期及周期因子cyclin D1和cdk4表达的影响。方法用9-顺-维甲酸处理细胞24 h后,在观察细胞生长、流式细胞仪分析细胞周期的基础上,用RT-PCR方法分析细胞周期因子cyclin D1和cdk4表达的变化。结果9-顺-维甲酸作用于肺癌细胞24 h以后,细胞增殖减慢,G₀/G₁期细胞明显增多,S期细胞减少;PG,SPC-A1和L78细胞的cyclin D1表达下降显著;PG,A549和L78细胞的cdk4表达下降显著。结论9-顺-维甲酸可以显著地抑制肺癌细胞增殖和肺癌细胞周期因子cyclin D1和cdk4的表达。

Effects of 9-cis-retinoic acid on cell cycle and expression of cyclin D1 and cdk4 in lung cancer cells

AIM: To study the effects of 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) on cell cycle and expression of cyclin D1 and cdk4 in lung cancer cells. METHODS: 9-cis-RA (1 x 10(-6) mol.L-1) was used to treat lung cancer cells for 24 h; Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the percent of G0/G1 phase and S phase cells of three groups including blank control, DMSO control and 9-cis-RA groups; RT-PCR was used to analyze the expression changes of cyclin D1 and cdk4 before and after treatment with 9-cis-RA in lung cancer cells. RESULTS: The percent of G0/G1 phase cells of 9-cis-RA groups was significantly higher than that of the control groups (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05) and the percent of S phase cells of 9-cis-RA groups was lower than that of the control groups (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05); the expression of cyclin D1 of PG, SPC-A1 and L78 cells was decreased (P < 0.01) and the expression of cdk4 of PG, A549 and L78 cells was also decreased (P < 0.01) after treatment with 9-cis-RA. CONCLUSION: Most of the proliferation and the expression of cyclin D1 and cdk4 of PG, A549, SPC-A1 and L78 were inhibited by 9-cis-RA.
