Abstract:
Objective:To study the feasibility and reliability of using phosphorylated H2AX(?H2AX)as a predictor for sensitivity of hepatic carcinoma cell HepG2.215 to chemotherapy agents: etoposide, doxorubicin, mitomycin, and cisplatin. Methods: HepG2.215 cells were exposed to etoposide, doxorubicin, mitomycin or cisplatin of 1, 2, 4 and 20 concentration index (CI). Untreated HepG2.215 cells were taken as control. The proportion of HepG2.215 cells expressing ?H2AX was measured by flow cytometry, the number of ?H2AX foci in HepG2.215 cells was measured by immunocytochemistry, and cell proliferation was measured by MTT. The correlation between the number of ?H2AX foci and the percentage of HepG2.215 cells expressing ?H2AX in HepG2.215 cells was analyzed; the correlation of CI with the percentage of HepG2.215 cells expressing ?H2AX or ?H2AX foci and inhibitory rate of cell proliferation was analyzed; and the correlation of inhibitory rate of cell praliferation with the percentage of HepG2.215 cells expressing ?H2AX or ?H2AX foci was also analyzed. Results: There was a positive correlation between the number of ?H2AX foci and the percentage of HepG2.215 cells expressing ?H2AX in HepG2.215 cells after treatment with the above 4 agents (all P
