Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the effect of acrylonitrile (ACN) to cell growth, apoptosis, proliferation and related gene expression of rat normal glial cells (DI TNC1) and tumor glial cells (C6).
METHODSThe concentration of ACN on DI TNC1 and C6 were 25, 50 and 75 microg/ml. For cell growth, proliferation and apoptosis assay, the treated time was 24 hours, for microarray assay, the treated time was 4 and 24 hours.
RESULTSAfter treatment of DI TNC1 cell with 25,50 and 75 microg/ml ACN, the DNA synthesis index were decreased 93.1%, 81.3% and 74.9% as compared to control respectively, the apoptosis index was increased 118%, 122% and 143% as compared to controls respectively. The DNA synthesis and apoptosis indexes of C6 cell showed no change after treatment with ACN. The cell cycle and apoptosis pathway related genes, such as cyclin and p53, also showed changes after treatment with ACN.
CONCLUSIONACN inhibited the cell proliferation of DI TNC1, induced the apoptosis of DI TNC1 and had no effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis of C6 cells, and the related regulation gene expression changes further confirmed the results.
