Abstract:
Objective :To observe the effect of SUCI02 on cell cycle in HER2/neu-overexpress-ing MDA-MB-453 cells and its mechanism.
Methods :The cell cycle distribution was examined using flow cytometry. The protein expression was detected with immunoblot analysis. The levels of mRNA was detected by RT-PCR method.
Results :Under concentrations of 0, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, 10 and 20!g/ml, the percentages of G0/Gi in MDA-MB-453 were 59.5X, 65.8%, 68.2%, 70.0X and 79.0X ; the percentages of S phase were 38.1%, 31.9%, 29.4%, 27.4% and 18.3%; the percentages of G2M phase were 2.4%, 2.3% 2.4%, 2.6%, 2.7%, respectively. After MDA-MB-453 cells were treated with different concentrations of SUCI02 for 24h, immunoblot assay showed up -regulation of p27 protein expression and decrease of hyperphosphorylated Rb and cyclin D1 protein expression. The levels of Cyclin D1 mRNA decreased following SUCI02 treatment.
Conclusions :SUCI02 induces G1 arrest in HER2/neu-overex-pressing MDA-MB-453 cancer cells. G1 arrest is associated with p27 up -regulation, decrease of cy-clinD1 protein and cyclinD 1 mRNA and hyperphosphorylated R.
