To observe the induced apoptosis of recombinant adenovirus carrying melittin gene (Ad-rAFP-Mel) for hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (BEL-7402).
The morphological observe, DNA electrophoresis, TUNEL and Flow cytometry assay were used to study the apoptosis of BEL-7042 cell line transfected by Ad-rAFP-Mel.
The morphological changes and apoptosis of BEL-7402 transfected by Ad-rAFP-Mel were confirmed with microscopy and DNA electrophoresis, TUNEL, Flow cytometry assay. The DNA ladder could be demonstrated on DNA electrophoresis in Ad-rAFP-Mel group. The apoptosis rates of BEL-7402 cells in Ad-rAFP-Mel, Ad-rAFP, and control groups were (21.5+/-2.4)%, (10.5+/-4.4)% and (3.0+/-1.4)% respectively by TUNEL assay (F = 38.0, P < 0.05) and were (7.3+/-0.5)%, (3.9+/-0.1)% and (0.8+/-0.1)% respectively by flow cytometry assay (F = 415.1, P < 0.05).
It seems that melittin inducing apoptosis might be one of the antitumor mechanisms.
观察携带蜂毒肽基因的重组腺病毒(Ad-rAFP-Mel)对肝癌细胞系(BEL-7402)的诱导凋亡作用。
采用形态学观察、DNA电泳、TUNEL法及流式细胞术检测Ad-rAFP-Mel转染BEL-7042细胞系后的凋亡情况。
通过显微镜观察、DNA电泳、TUNEL法及流式细胞术检测证实了Ad-rAFP-Mel转染的BEL-7402细胞出现形态学改变及凋亡。Ad-rAFP-Mel组DNA电泳可见DNA梯状条带。TUNEL法检测Ad-rAFP-Mel组、Ad-rAFP组及对照组BEL-7402细胞凋亡率分别为(21.5±2.4)%、(10.5±4.4)%和(3.0±1.4)%(F = 38.0,P < 0.05);流式细胞术检测凋亡率分别为(7.3±0.5)%、(3.9±0.1)%和(0.8±0.1)%(F = 415.1,P < 0.05)。
蜂毒肽诱导凋亡可能是其抗肿瘤机制之一。
