We studied the effect of surfactin on cell proliferation, apoptosis and the cytoskeleton in human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 in vitro. The result of 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) showed that the surfactin inhibited proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with IC50 at 48 h of 27.3 micromol/L. Surfactin-induced cell death was considered to be apoptotic by observing the typical apoptotic morphological changes by AO/EB staining. Flow cytometric analysis also demonstrated that surfactin caused time-dependent apoptosis of MCF-7 cells through cell arrest at G2/M phase. Immunofluorescence and Western blotting showed that surfactin significantly suppressed the expression of vimentin, induced the alpha-tubulin depolymerization and rearrangement and then the skeleton system of the cells changed dramatically. Based on our findings, surfactin can significantly inhibit the growth of MCF-7 cells and induce apoptosis.
我们在体外研究了表面活性素对人乳腺癌细胞系MCF-7细胞增殖、凋亡及细胞骨架的影响。3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-2,5-二苯基四氮唑溴盐(MTT)实验结果表明,表面活性素以剂量和时间依赖性方式抑制MCF-7细胞的增殖,48小时的半数抑制浓度(IC50)为27.3微摩尔/升。通过吖啶橙/溴化乙锭(AO/EB)染色观察到典型的凋亡形态变化,表明表面活性素诱导的细胞死亡为凋亡。流式细胞术分析也表明,表面活性素通过使MCF-7细胞停滞于G2/M期而导致其时间依赖性凋亡。免疫荧光和蛋白质印迹显示,表面活性素显著抑制波形蛋白的表达,诱导α-微管蛋白解聚和重排,进而使细胞骨架系统发生显著变化。基于我们的研究结果,表面活性素可显著抑制MCF-7细胞的生长并诱导其凋亡。
