Abstract:
Background and purpose:The incidence of hepatoma is high. The outcome of treatment on hepatoma is poor.So we investigated the effect and mechanism of a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib on the proliferation and apoptosis of SMMC-7721 hepatoma cell line. Methods:MTT assay was used to study the inhibitive effect of celecoxib on the growth of SMMC-7721 hepatoma cell. The effect of celecoxib on cell cycle and apoptosis on cells was studied by flow cytometry(FCM).Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to display the morphological change of the SMMC-7721 hepatoma cell . The biochemical character of apoptosis was viewed on the agarose gel electrophoresis.The expression of bax gene and bcl-2 gene were measured by immunohistochemistry.Results:The SMMC-7721 cells were cultured in media that contained 25,50,75,100 ?mol/L celecoxib,by means of MTT, the inhibition rate was(15?3)%,(34.6?2.4)%,56.8?1.0)%,(86.2?0.4)% respectively after 24 hours; but the inhibition rate was (33.4?0.7)%,(66.7?1.8)%,(76.1?2.4)%,(97.3?0.8)% respectively after 48 hours(P
