RESUMO
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of alkaloids and carbinol extracts from lily on the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells, as well as the underlying mechanism. SGC-7901 cells were incubated with different concentrations of alkaloid or carbinol extracts for 24, 48 or 72 h. MTT assays were used to measure the inhibition rate of SGC-7901 cell proliferation. Inverted phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy was used to observe morphological changes of SGC-7901 cells. Flow cytometry was employed to detect cell cycle progression and apoptosis rates of SGC-7901 cells. Western blotting was performed to measure the expression of caspase-3, Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) proteins in SGC-7901 cells. The inhibition rate of SGC-7901 cell proliferation was significantly enhanced with increasing drug concentrations and time elapsed. Treatment with alkaloid or carbinol extracts deteriorated the morphology of SGC-7901 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Alkaloid and carbinol extracts arrested SGC-7901 cells in the G2/M phase, and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Alkaloid and carbinol extracts enhanced caspase-3, and Fas expression, but reduced FasL expression in SGC-7901 cells. The present study demonstrated that alkaloids and carbinol extracts from lily inhibited the proliferation of gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 cells by arresting cells in the G2/M phase. The upregulation of caspase-3 and Fas proteins, and the downregulation of FasL protein may be an important mechanism for the induction of SGC-7901 cell apoptosis.
RESUMO
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of 17AAG combined with salinomycin treatment on proliferation and apoptosis of the SGC7901 gastric cancer cell line. An MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation of SGC7901 cells. Morphological alterations of cells were observed under inverted phasecontrast and fluorescence microscopes. Cell cycle and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry analysis. The protein expression of nuclear factor (NF)κB p65 and Fasligand (L) were evaluated by immunocytochemistry. Salinomycin with a concentration range of 132 µmol/l was demonstrated to inhibit growth of SGC7901 cells effectively, affect the morphology and apoptosis rate of cells, and arrest SGC7901 cells in S phase. Furthermore, salinomycin significantly increased the protein expression of FasL and decreased the protein expression of NFκB p65. The alterations in SGC7901 cells cotreated with salinomycin and 17AAG were more significant compared with cells treated with one drug only. In conclusion, the individual use of salinomycin and combined use with 17AAG may significantly inhibit SGC7901 gastric cancer cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis. The potential mechanisms may be associated with upregulation of FasL and downregulation of NFκB. These results provide a basis for the potential use of salinomycin in gastric cancer treatment.

The present study aimed to investigate the anticancer effects of cisplatin (DDP) combined with salinomycin (SAL) on the gastric cancer cell line SGC7901, as well as to explore the mechanisms underlying their actions. An MTT assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory effects of SAL, DDP and their combination on gastric cancer cell proliferation. Morphological alterations of cancer cells following treatment were observed under an inverted phasecontrast microscope and a fluorescence microscope. Cell cycle progression and apoptosis were analyzed using flow cytometry. The expression of nuclear factor (NF)κB p65 and Fas protein ligand (L) in cancer cells was assessed using immunocytochemistry. The present results demonstrated that the combination of SAL and DDP significantly inhibited the proliferation (P<0.05) and altered the morphological characteristics of SGC7901 cells, thus suggesting that SAL may enhance the susceptibility of gastric cancer cells to DDP. In addition, treatment with a combination of SAL and DDP resulted in S phasearrest and increased the apoptotic rate of SGC7901 cells. Furthermore, marked FasL upregulation and NFκB p65 downregulation were observed in cancer cells treated with the combination of SAL and DDP. The results of the present study demonstrated that the combination of SAL and DDP induced the apoptosis of human gastric cancer cells, and suggested that the underlying mechanism may involve the upregulation of FasL and downregulation of NFκB p65.

OBJECTIVE: To cross-link the McAb 1A2E1 to BNHS reagents and apply this biotinylated McAb to detect AIB1 antigen of target cells. METHODS: The McAb 1A2E1 was mixed with BNHS reagents to generate Biotin-1A2E1. The competitive inhibition ELISA and immunocytochemical method were applied to detect the biologic activity of antibody. RESULTS: The antibody kept high biological activities (with a titer of 1 : 3200) and sensitivities in detecting the AIB1 protein of breast cancer cell. CONCLUSION: The method of preparing biotinylated McAb is successful, and the prepared biotinylated McAb can be applied to detect target cells which express AIB1 antigen. This McAb provide useful tool for tumor auxiliary diagnosis.
