Abstract:
Objective To explore the mechanism of drug resistance of ovarian cancer cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis.Methods We collected 3AO cells and CAOV3 cells,respectively,at 18,24,48 and 72 hour under 12.5,25,50 and 100 ng/mL concentrations of TRAIL.The rate of cell growth inhibition was checked by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT)assay to evaluate the effect of TRAIL.Morphology of apoptotic cells was observed by TdT-mediated-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL).The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry (FCM)and C-FLIP protein was determined by Western blotting.Results TRAIL inhibited the growth of 3AO and CAOV3 cells.The rate of growth inhibition at 24 hour was 28% in 3AO cells and 10% in CAOV3 cells.TRAIL induced apoptosis of cells.The apoptosis rate at 24 hour was 8.5% in 3AO cells,which was higher than 5.5% in CAOV3 cells.The expression level of C-FLIP protein was higher in CAOV3 cells than in 3AO cells.Conclusion C-FLIP protein is an important protein that regulates drug resistance of ovarian cancer cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis.
