Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Kiss-1 on cell proliferation in human melanoma cancer cell,and screen a target for tumor biotherapy. Methods The eukaryotic expression vectors with Kiss-1 gene were used to transfect A375 cells by liposome-mediated transfection in vitro. The cells were selected by G418. The expression of Kiss-1 gene was confirmed by Western Blotting. FACS was used to detect the ability of cells proliferation and apoptosis. Results There were significantly high expression of Kiss-1 protein in the transfected A375 cells(1.20 ±0.21 vs control 0.60 + 0. 41), whose growth rate was significantly slower than that of control. Flow cytometry showed that apoptosis of A375 cells transfected Kiss-1 were induced(7.23% vs control 4.62%). Conclusion When transfected into A375 cells,exogenous Kiss-1 could cause the cell growth arrest to G1 ,and induce cells apoptosis.
