Objective To explore the intervention effects of trichostatin A ( TSA ) on specialization of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs ) .Methods The rat MSCs were isolated, cultured and purified by the whole bone marrow adherent method in vitro, with morphological observation.The third generation of MSCs were selected, directional induced to osteoblasts, and divided into the TSA low dose group (0.1μmol/L), middle dose group (1μmol/L) , the high dose group (10μmol/L) according to different drug concentrations, seting up blank control group at the same time.MSCs proliferation and cell growth curve of each group were drawn by MMT, the activity of alkaliphosphatase ( ALP) was detected, and the levels of corebinding factor α1 (Cbfα1), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin-like growth factors-1 (IGF-1) mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Results The trend of MSCs growth curves in each groups were similar, compared with control group, the growth curve of TSA low dose group had no significant change, the TSA middle dose and high dose significantly promoted the proliferation of MSCs (P<0.05).Compared with control group, ALP activity of TSA low-, middle-and high-dose group were significantly higher at 4th,5th,6th(P<0.05).The expression levels of Cbfα1, bFGF and IGF-1mRNA were significantly higher than those of control group, respectively (P<0.05).Conclusion TSA can significantly promote the rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into osteoblast, which is possibly associated with up-regulation of Cbfα1, bFGF and IGF-1mRNA level.

AIM: To explore the different inhibitory effect of arsenic trioxide (As_2O_3) on hepatocarcinoma cell growth in SMMC-7721 and BEL-7402 cell lines and its mechanism. METHODS: The cell culture and trypan blue staining were used to study the inhibitory effect of arsenic trioxide on cell growth, and the glutathione (GSH) contents in hepatocarcinoma cells treated with arsenic trioxide were detected. RESULTS: Arsenic trioxide inhibited the growth of BEL-7402 cells in a time and dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect was significant at a lower dose of 0.50 ?mol/L for 24 h, however, to SMMC-7721 cells, a higher dose of 2.00 ?mol/L for 96 h was needed. The inhibitory rate of arsenic trioxide (0.25-2.00 ?mol/L) on BEL-7402 cell growth was higher than that on SMMC-7721 cells. The content of GSH in SMMC-7721 cells was much higher than that in BEL-7402 cells [(50.8?5.2) (?mol/g) protein and (18.7?1.4) ?mol/g protein, respectively]. CONCLUSION: There was a significant difference in inhibition of hepatocarcinoma cell growth by arsenic trioxide between BEL-7402 and SMMC-7721 cell lines, the cause of which may be due to the difference in GSH content in BEL-7402 and SMMC-7721 cells.
