Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) on the proliferation of BCG-823 human gastric cancer cells and the expression of HOXA5.Methods The methylation status of the promoter of HOXA5 was measured by methylmion specific PCR (MSP).The BCG-823 cells were treated with different concentrations of 5-Aza-CdR,and then the changes of expression and methylation status of HOXA5 gene were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR),Western-blot,and MSP.Cells proliferation was assessed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.Results (1) Different methylation status of HOXA5 gene promoter was detected in BCG-823 cells.The mathylation rate of HOXA5 gene promoter were reduced after treatment with 5-Aza-CdR,and also were negatively related to the concentration of 5-Aza-CdR (F =438.307,P < 0.01).(2) Compared to the control groups,the expressions of HOXA5 mRNA and protein were increased after treatment with 5-Aza-CdR,with statistical significance (P < 0.05).(3) The proliferation rate of BCG-823 cells was significantly inhibited (P <0.05).Conclusions The methylation status of HOXA5 promoter was detected in BCG-823 cells.5-AzaCdR is able to inhibit BCG-823 cells growth in vitro,which might be related to the expression of HOXA5.It may be a new way to treat gastric cancer.
