Abstract:
Aim To study the mechanisms of Pseudolaric acid B(PAB)-induced MCF-7 cell apoptosis and mitotic arrest.Methods MTT assay was performed to assess the cell growth inhibition,contrast phase microscope was used to observe cellular morphologic alteration,and the change of DNA was detected by fluorescent microscopy.The distribution of cell cycle was determined by flow cytometric analysis of propidium iodide staining,and the protein expression was examined by Western blot analysis.Results PAB inhibited MCF-7 cell growth in a dose-and time-dependent manner.4 ?mol?L-1 PAB induced DNA condensation at 24 h.PAB cleaved PARP in a time-dependent manner.At 36 h,PAB up-regulated the expression of cdc 2 and nuclear cyclin B1.Fas antagonistic antibody UB2 had no effect on apoptosis,but agonistic antibody CH11 enhanced the apoptosis induced by PAB.UB2 exerted no effect on cell cycle arrest,and CH11 had the same action as UB2 except for reducing the mitotic arrest through enhancing apoptotic subdiploid peak.Conclusion PAB inhibited MCF-7 cell growth through mitotic arrest and apoptosis.Apoptosis and mitotic arrest were independent of Fas pathway.
