Abstract
AIM: To study the inhibitory effect of anti-angiogenesis agent NM-3-containing serum on human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell line.
METHODS: Human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell line was cultured with high, medium and low doses of NM-3-containing serum, and two control groups were cultured with medium alone and medium with serum. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate were determined by flow cytometry. After 72 hours incubation, mRNA for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors, including KDR and Flt-1, was detected by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
RESULTS: The apoptosis rate in the high- (25.20% ± 0.86%, 43.62% ± 3.53%, 54.35% ± 5.42%) and medium-dose (16.80% ± 0.40%, 26.95% ± 3.25%, 39.85% ± 4.10%) groups was significantly increased compared with that in the two control groups were cultured with meduim alone (5.34% ± 0.28%, 6.91% ± 1.06%; 6.87% ± 1.24%) and meduim with serum (5.66% ± 0.72%, 8.90% ± 0.86%, 8.06% ± 0.78%) after 6, 24 and 72 hours culture. The apoptosis rate was increased with prolongation of incubation time and NM-3 dose. The apoptosis rate in the high-dose group was higher than in the medium and low dose groups (P < 0.05). After 72 hours in the high-dose group, the proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase was higher, and the number in S, G2/M phase was lower than that in the medium- and low-dose groups. There were significant differences between the proportion of cells in G0/G1, S and G2/M phase in the high- and medium-dose groups and the two control groups (P < 0.01). mRNA of VEGF and its receptors KDR and Flt-1 decreased in SGC-7901 cells in the high-, medium- and low-dose NM-3 groups after 72 hours. Compared with the two control groups, the high-dose group significantly inhibited mRNA transcription for VEGF and its receptors KDR and Flt-1 (P < 0.01), and the medium- and low-dose groups obviously inhibited mRNA transcription (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: NM-3-containing serum can inhibit vascular formation in gastric carcinoma, and can induce apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma cells.
