Abstract:
Aim To investigate the regulatory effect of p38MAPK signal pathway on the apoptosis of human esophageal cancer cells induced by valdecoxib.Methods The tumor cells were inoculated in the dose of 1?107?L-1.After 6 h,the cells were divided into control group,solution group,400,200,100,50,25 ?mol?L-1 valdecoxib group and various concentration valdecoxib+SB203580 group,cultured for 72 h.FCM and DNA Ladder were used to detect the apoptosis of Eca109 cells.p38 mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR.The expression of p-p38MAPK protein was detected by immunohistochemical staining and FCM.Results ① Valdecoxib could increased the apoptosis rate of Eca109 cell in concentration-dependent fashion.Apoptosis rate was increased to 48.46% in 400 ?mol?L-1 valdecoxib group at the incubation time of 72 h.DNA ladder was the most recognized marker of apoptosis,and there was obvious DNA ladder in valdecoxib treated group,especially in 400 ?mol?L-1 group.② Valdecoxib could increase the expression of p38MAPK,while SB203580 could inhibit the over-expression induced by valdecoxib,at the same time,the apoptosis rate was been decreased.③ The expression of p38MAPK protein was positively correlated with the apoptotic rate(r=0.822,P=0.000).Conclusions Valdecoxib could activate p38MAPK pathway,thus induce the apoptosis of Eca109 cells,which may be one of the mechanisms for the inhibition of cell growth by valdecoxib.
