Abstract:
Objective To determine whether the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitor,{N-[2-(cyclohexyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]-methane sulfonamide} (NS398),can inhibit proliferation of COX-2 negatively expressed human prostate cancer cell line PC-3 and induce its apoptosis in vitro. Methods The expression of COX-2 in cultured PC-3 cells was examined by RT-PCR and Western blot for mRNA and protein respectively.The proliferative inhibition of PC-3 cells by NS398 was observed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) rapid photocolorimetric assay.PC-3 cells cultured in 100 ?mol/L NS398 medium for 24 h was marked with AnnexinV-FITC and PI for the cell apoptosis assay by flow cytometry. Results COX-2 was not expressed in PC-3 cell line at either mRNA or protein level.The inhibitory rate of NS398 on proliferation increased with the increasing concentration but was not time-dependent.Compared with the controls (10.563?2.582)%,PC-3 cells cultured in 100?mol/L NS398 medium for 24 h had significantly higher incidence (19.307?3.773)%] Objective To determine whether the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitor,{N-[2-(cyclohexyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]-methane sulfonamide} (NS398),can inhibit proliferation of COX-2 negatively expressed human prostate cancer cell line PC-3 and induce its apoptosis in vitro.
