Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of biological activity of tumstatin 7 peptide (CNYYSNS) on the cell proliferation and apoptosis of B16 melanoma cell. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of tumstatin 7 peptide on the proliferation of B16 cell was observed by MTT and cell growth curves. The influence of tumstatin 7 peptide on morphology of B16 cell was perceived by TUNEL, HE staining and the transmission electron microscope(TEM). Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (ECV304) as control cell was detected that tumstatin 7 peptide affected the proliferation of non-tumor cells. RESULTS: Tumstatin 7 peptide can significantly inhibit the proliferation of B16 cell in dose-and time-dependent manner. Its IC50 was 8.53 × 10-5 mol·L-1. The mophology of B16 cell was obviously changed by means of TUNEL assay, HE staining and TEM. They appeared karyopyknosis and apoptotic bodies. The apoptosis rate of B16 cell was 68.45%. The effect of 7peptide on human endothelial cell was weak, its IC50 was 5.78 × 10-4mol·L-1. CONCLUSION: Tumstatin 7 peptide can inhibit the proliferation of B16 cell and promote B16 cell apoptosis. It has little effect on endothelial cell, which revealed 7 peptide having a certain specificity of anti-tumor. It will be of great potential value to melanoma treatment.
