Abstract:
Objective To compare the morphology and ultrastructure changes of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line treated by tachyplesin and n-sodium butyrate. Methods Light microscope,scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope were used to observe human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line BGC-823 treated by 2.0?mg/L tachyplesin,2.0?mmol/L n-sodium butyrate and 1.0?mg/L tachyplesin in combination with 1.0?mmol/L n-sodium butyrate respectively. Results Light microscope observation showed that BGC-823 cells treated by tachyplesin,n-sodium butyrate and tachyplesin+n-sodium butyrate possessed the similar cell modality as follow: the volume of cell increased,the shape of cell became flat and outspread,nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio decreased,the shape of nucleus was rounde,the number of nucleolus decreased.Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope observation showed that,in the BGC-823 cells which were treated with tachyplesin,n-sodium butyrate and tachyplesin in combination with n-sodium butyrate respectively,microvilli and filopodia reduced,sheed pseudopodia increased,the shape of nucleus became regular,heterochromatin decreased while euchromatin increased,the number of mitochondria increased and its structure appeared consistent,Golgi complex turned to be typical,the amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum increased and that of polyribosome decreased.Conclusion All of these results showed that tachyplesin possessed the similar effects to n-sodium butyrate on changing morphology and ultrastructure of human gastric adenocarcinoma cells and possessed an additive role of inducing tumor cells to differentiate cooperatively with n-sodium butyrate to induce carcinoma cell differentiation.
