Objective To obtain stable arsenic-resistance cells,the fetal bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)were exposed to low-level arsenite for 18 weeks. Methods Cells from 4 months fetal bone marrow were cultured in ?-MEM medium to obtain BMSCs.After 24h cytotoxicity test of the fetal BMSCs,we chosed 1?mol/L NaAsO_2 to be the dose under which the cell death-rate was 5%-10%.The fetal BMSCs were exposed to low-level arsenite.MTT was used to detect the survival rate and IC_(50) of arsenic-exposed cells and the control cells,which can reflect the change of arsenic tolerance.A hydride generationatomic fluorescence spectrometry method was used to detect arsenic in the arsenic-resistance cells and the control cells.In order to study the mechanism of arsenic-resistance,we also examined the intracellular GSH and GST content in the arsenic-resistance cells and the control cells. Results The fetal BMSCs were continuously exposed to 1?mol/L NaAsO_2.Parallel cells were cultured in medium without arsenic provided passage-matched control.After the fetal BMSCs were continuously exposed to low level NaAsO_2 for 18 weeks,cells exhibited dramatic resistance to acute arsenite toxicity.Compared to control cells,arsenic-resistance cells showed reduction in arsenic accumulation in cells.The GSH levels and GST activity of arsenic-resistance cells were higher than that of control cells.Conclusion Acquisition of stable arsenic-resistance in BMSCs was available by using cell culture and adding low-level arsenic.Our research established a solid basis for further study about the mechanisms of arsenic-resistance in human being.

Objective To study the effects of low dose sodium arsenite to human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(hBMSCs) differentiation during establishing of arsenic-resistant cell model. Methods hBMSCs were prepared in conventional method and continuously exposed to 1μmol/L sodium arsenite for ≥12weeks inv vitro. Forty-eight hours acute arsenite toxicity test was drived to assay if the cells acquired arsenic-resistance. The proliferation capacity of CAsE-hBMSCs was observed by the rate of colony formation.The expression of Oct-4 in CAsE-hBMSCs was assayed by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. The expression of ABCG2 in CAsE-hBMSCs was analyzed by RT-PCR. Results hBMSCs continuously exposed to 1μmol/L sodium asenite for ≥12 weeks exhibited dramatic resistance to acute arsenite toxicity. The LC 50 for acute arsenite exposure in CAsE-hBMSCs was 35.59μmol/L versus 18.04μmol/L in control cells. Compared to control cells, the CAsE-hBMSCs didn't show malignant proliferation ability. Expression of Oct-4 gene was positive in 4th, 18th passage hBMSCs and the hBMSCs induced by arsenite for 4 weeks but negative in CAsE-hBMSCs. The expression of Oct-4 protein was positive and weakly positive in 4th passage hBMSCs and CAsE-hBMSCs respectively, and the positive granules of Oct-4 distributed in cytoplasm. The expression of ABCG2 gene in CAsE-hBMSCs was obviously lower than that in control cells ( P <0.001). Conclusion Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could be induced to differentiation by low dose sodium arsenite.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) on endometrial cancer cell.Methods In vitro experiments of 5-Aza-CdR were done using human endometrial cancer cell line HEC-1B.Evaluation of cellular proliferation and apoptosis was ascertained respectively using trypan blue exclusion and flow cytometry.RT-PCR and methylation specific PCR(MSP) was done to detect the expression of RASSF1 A mRNA and methylation status of RASSF1 A promoter of HEC-1B cell line.Results (1) The status of cellular growth and apeptosis of HEC-1 B cell line:the growth inhibition effects of 5-Aza-CdR on HEC-1B cell line were both concentration-dependent (P ＜ 0.01) and time-dependent(P ＜0.01),as well as the apoptosis rate of HBC-1-B cell line depended on the dose of 5-Aza-CdR obviously(P ＜0.01).(2)The expression of RASSF1A mRNA of HEC-1B cell line:RASSF1A mRNA was expressed in HEC-1B cell after 5-Aza-CdR treatment,but it was undetectable before the treatment.In the groups with different concentration of 5-Aza-CdR (0.05,0.1,1,5,10 nmol/ml),the expression of RASSF1A mRNA was respectively 0.074±0.004,0.105±0.004,0.167±0.006,0.334±0.005,0.484±0.007,which were remarkably different from the group without 5-Aza-CdR(the expression of RASSF1A mRNA was 0;P ＜ 0.01).(3) The hypermethylation of RASSF1A promoter of HEC-1B cell line:the hypermethylation of RASSF1A promoter was detected in HEC-1B cell line.The status of hypermethylation was decreased after treatment with 5-Aza-CdR of 0.05,0.1,1,5 nmol/ml,meanwhile,both methylation bands and demethylation bands were observed by methylation specific PCR.After the treatment with 5-Aza-CdR of 10 nmol/ml the hypermethylation was absent absolutely.Conclusions (1) In HEC-1B cell line,5-Aza-CdR can inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apopotosis.(2) 5-Aza-CdR can renew the expression of RASSF1A mRNA of HEC-1B cell line and reverse the hypermethylation of RASSF1A promoter.
