Abstract:
AIM To explore the inhibition in in vitro p roliferation human prostate cancer PC 3 cells induced by melatonin and the effe ct of combination of melatonin and 5-Fu. METHODS Cell growth cu rve, MTT assay, and acid phosphatase(ACP)activity were used to determine cell proliferation. Coomassie brillient blue assay and modified diphenylamine assay w ere used to measure the content of protein and DNA in PC 3 cells. ACP activity was measured by modified phenyl phosphat e method of kind and king and modified method of lowry. Co-administration effec t of MLT and 5-fluorouracil(5-Fu)on PC 3 cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay. RESULTS The IC 50 of MLT for inhibiting PC 3, CoLo205, K562, and HeLa cell proliferation was(1 20?0 30),(1 27?0 12) ,(1 60?0 16)and(2 25?0 11)mmol?L -1 , respectively. And MLT inhib ited all above cells proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. The protein and DNA content and ACP activity in PC 3 cell treated with 2 mmol?L -1 MLT for 96 h were redu ced 58 77%, 54 97% and 89 24%, respectively. When PC 3 cells were treated wi th MLT in combination with 5-Fu 0 5 mg?L -1 , the inhibition rate enhance d. CONCLUSION MLT inhibited PC 3, CoLo205, K562, and HeLa cell p roliferation, and reduced the content of protein and DNA and ACP activity in PC 3 cell. MLT and 5-Fu co-administration enhanced the inhibition rate of PC 3.er.TheproteinandDNAcontentandACPactivityinPC3 celltreatedwith 2mmol?L-1MLTfor 96hwerereduced5 8 77% ,5 4 97%and 89 2 4% ,respectively .WhenPC3 cellsweretreatedwithMLTincombinationwith5 Fu 0 5mg?L-1,theinhibitionrateenhanced .CONCLUSION MLTinhibitedPC3 ,CoLo2 0 5 ,K5 62 ,
