Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of RXRγ and RARβ on the growth of human gastric carcinoma cell line SGC7901 treated by RXR agonist(9-cis-RA). Methods:The human gastric carcinoma cell line SGC7901 was treated with 9-cis-RA, and then the morphological changes were observed by H-E staining. The cell growth was detected by MTT assay. The apoptosis and the cell cycle progression were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expressions of RXRγ and RARβ were detected by immunocytochemistry staining and western-blot assay. Results: HE stain showed that the SGC7901 cells were sparser with the increasing concentration of 9-cis-RA. The growth of SGC7901 cell was inhibited by 9-cis-RA at the concentration of 20 μmol/L in time and dose depended manner. The apoptotic rate of the tumor cells increased after 72 hours at the concentration of 20 μmol/L 9-cis-RA and the tumor cells were arrested in G0/G1 phase. Immunocytochemistry and Western-blot assay showed that the expressions of RXRγ and RARβ increased after 72 hours, compared with those of negative control group. Conclusion: RXR agonist 9-cis-RA can inhibit the growth of SGC7901 cells via inducing cell apoptosis through upgrading the expressions of RXRγ and RARβ.
