Abstract:
Aim To study tumor suppressor gene OPCML,DAPK methylation changes during the process of CasKi cell apoptosis induced by trichosanthin, and to explore the correlation and the role between cervical cancer cell apoptosis and tumor suppressor gene methylation so as to find new demethylation drugs.Methods ① MTT was applied to assay the inhibition of TCS to CasKi cell proliferation and flow cytometry was used to analyze cervical CasKi cell apoptosis induced by trichosanthin; ② Methylation-specific PCR(MSP) technology was applied to detect cervical cancer and during cell apoptosis process OPCML and DAPK gene promoter methylation status of CpG islands.Results In CasKi cervical cancer cells,OPCML and DAPK gene promoter region showed a high degree of CpG island methylation status, by trichosanthin treatment,the growth of CasKi markedly was inhibited, and flow cytometry analysed the characteristic sub-G1 peak,OPCML and DAPK gene promoter region showed no CpG island methylation of performance.Conclusions During the process of CasKi cell apoptosis induced by trichosanthin,OPCML and DAPK gene demethylated significantly,accordingly, trichosanthin might be a new methylation inhibitor,and there might be some correlation between cell apoptosis and tumor suppressor gene methylation.And OPCML and DAPK gene methylation tests might become new clinical indicators for the early detection of cervical cancer.
