NS-398, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, has been shown to suppress cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in a variety of human cancer cell lines in vitro, except for sarcoma cell lines. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of NS-398 on two human malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) cell lines: MFH-ino and MFH-ToE.
We investigated the effect of NS-398 at various concentrations on the growth of MFH cell lines using cell proliferation assay, cell cycle analysis and EIA assay of PGE2 production.
Western blot analysis revealed COX-2 protein expression in both MFH cell lines. NS-398 at 10 or 100 microM resulted in inhibition of the cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. NS-398 at 100 microM also induced G0/G1 arrest accompanied by up-regulation of P21WAF1 in MFH-ino cells in a time-dependent manner until 72 hours. NS-398 slightly increased the number of cells in the G2/M-phase and decreased the number in the G0/G1-phase in MFH-ToE cells lacking p53 gene function. Moreover, NS-398 down-regulated PGE2 production in the MFH-ToE cells in a time-dependent manner, but not in the MFH-ino cells.
Our results indicate that NS-398 inhibits the cell growth and induces G0/G1 arrest in MFH-ino cells accompanied with up-regulation of P21WAF1.
NS - 398是一种选择性环氧化酶 - 2(COX - 2)抑制剂,已显示在体外能抑制多种人类癌细胞系的细胞增殖并诱导凋亡,但肉瘤细胞系除外。本研究的目的是检测NS - 398对两种人类恶性纤维组织细胞瘤(MFH)细胞系:MFH - ino和MFH - ToE的影响。
我们使用细胞增殖测定、细胞周期分析和PGE2产生的酶免疫分析(EIA),研究了不同浓度的NS - 398对MFH细胞系生长的影响。
蛋白质印迹分析显示两种MFH细胞系中均有COX - 2蛋白表达。10或100微摩尔的NS - 398以剂量和时间依赖性方式抑制细胞增殖。100微摩尔的NS - 398还以时间依赖性方式诱导MFH - ino细胞中的G0/G1期阻滞,同时P21WAF1上调,直至72小时。在缺乏p53基因功能的MFH - ToE细胞中,NS - 398使G2/M期细胞数量略有增加,G0/G1期细胞数量减少。此外,NS - 398以时间依赖性方式下调MFH - ToE细胞中的PGE2产生,但在MFH - ino细胞中未下调。
我们的结果表明,NS - 398抑制MFH - ino细胞的生长并诱导G0/G1期阻滞,同时伴有P21WAF1的上调。
