Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of different concentrations of TPh on hepatoma cells , cell viability and and its possible mechanisms of anti-tumor.Methods The inhibitory rate of hepatoma cells and cell viability on different concentrations of TPh and time were measured by MTT assay;The morphological changes of apoptosis were observed by Hoechst 33258 straining; Cell cycle distribution was evaluated by flow cytometry (FCM).The protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blot analysis.Results MTT assay showed that TPh inhibited the proliferation of HepG-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the inhibitory rate increased with the increase of concentration.The inhibitory rate was 50.9% (P<0.01).The results of Hoechst 33258 staining showed that the fluorescence intensity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells was light blue in fluorescence microscopy and bright blue fluorescence in apoptotic hepatocarcinoma cells, and the apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma cells increased with the increase of drug concentration.The percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase increased with the increase of cell cycle, and the ratio of cells in S phase was decreased in G2/M phase compared with blank control group (P<0.05);Western blot results showed that compared with the blank control group, TPh inhibited the proliferation of Bcl-2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner ( P <0.05 ) , and the number of apoptotic cells increased with the increase of drug concentration (P<0.05), and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in the TPh group decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the expression of Bax gene increased. Conclusion TPh inhibits cell proliferation, promotes apoptosis and induces HepG-2 to block G0/G1 phase.Its mechanism may increase the expression of Bax and decrease Bcl-2 protein expression.
