Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of carbon dioxide on the metastatic capability of ovarian carcinoma cell line. Methods After ovarian carcinoma cells SKOV_(3) were treated with 100% carbon dioxide for 2 h, the expressions of VEGF and MMP9 were examined by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Results After the treatment of carbon dioxide for 2 h, the expression of VEGF and MMP9 was significantly increased at 12~(th) h, the expression of VEGF reached the peak at 24~(th) h and the expression of MMP9 reached the peak at 48~(th) h. Conclusion Carbon dioxide may improve the metastatic capability of ovarian carcinoma cell line.
