Abstract:
Objective:To study the regulatory mechanism of Wnt/?-Catenin passthway-influenced apoptosis of human gastric cancer line SGC-7901 by detecting the expression of ?-Catenin mRNA,Bcl-2mRNA,Caspase-8mRNA and Caspase-3mRNA.Methods:(1) Expressions of ?-Catenin,Bcl-2,Caspase-8 and Caspase-3mRNAs in groups with or without indomethacin induction were detected by RT-PCR.(2) Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay was used to measure the anticancer activity of indomethacin.Results:(1)As compared with groups without indomethacin induction,expression of ?-Catenin mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA were lower,however,increased expression of Caspase-8 and Caspase-3mRNA were found in SGC-7901 cells after treatment with indomethacin.(2) Indomethacin of 50 ?mol/L at 24 h couldn't induce apoptosis of gastric cancer cells.Indomethacin of 50?mol/L at 48 and 72 h and of 100?mol/L and 200?mol/L at 24、48 and 72 h could induce apoptosis of gastric cancer cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner.Conclusion:Gastric cancer cells may be caused by apoptosis inbalance through Wnt/?-Catenin passthway,which activates expression of proto-oncogene Bcl-2 and inhibites expressions of Caspase-8 and Caspase-3.
