Abstract:
Objective Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)can induce apoptosis in gastric cancer cell and the mechanism is not clear. We aimed to study the mechanism of selective COX 2 inhibitor Nimesulide induced apoptosis of human gastric cancer line SGC 7901 by detecting the expressions of COX 2 at mRNA level, c myc, Bcl 2 and caspase 3 at protein level. Methods Apoptosis was determined by electronic microscopy, Annexin V FITC staining and flow cytometry. The mRNA of COX 2 was detected by RT PCR. The protein expressions of c myc, Bcl 2 and caspase 3 were examined by immunohistochemistry. Results Nimesulide of 50 ?mol/L at 48 and 72 h, and of 100 ?mol/L and 200 ?mol/L at 24, 48 and 72 h induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cells in a dose and time dependent manner.Their apoptotic rates were 7.51%, 9.86% and 11.58%, 12.45%, 16.66% and 12.21%, 15.38%, 20.28% respectively. It increased c myc and caspase 3 expression and decreased Bcl 2 expression and COX 2 mRNA expression. The positive protein expression rates of Bcl 2, c myc and capase 3 were (20.2?7.6)%,(49.2?15.1)% and (34.6?12.9)% respectively with Nimesulide of 200 ?mol/L at 72 h,while the controls being (44.6?12.1)%, (24.7 ?9.5)% and (14.8?6.4)% the three comparative P
