Effect of alpha-fetoprotein on the growth of human hepatoma cells in vitro]

The stimulatory activity of human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) on the growth of mouse hepatoma-22 cells had been reported in our previous paper. The present work aimed at further investigation of the effect of AFP on human hepatoma cell growth by MTT colorimetric assay. The results showed that AFP could stimulate the growth of SMMC-7721 human hepatoma cells in vitro. The present results also showed that the stimulatory effect of AFP on the growth of SMMC-7721 cells was decreased by the anti-serum of AFP. The anti-AFP antibody alone could suppress the growth of SMMC-7721 cells. On the other hand, AFP and anti-AFP antibody had no effect on the growth of HL-60 human leukemia cells, indicating that the tumor cell growth stimulating effect of AFP was not simply due to non-specific addition of exogenous protein and this effect of AFP showed strict tumor cell specificity. In addition, MCF-7 human breast cancer cell growth was also promoted by AFP and inhibited by anti-AFP antibody. Because AFP cell-surface receptors have been detected in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, and AFP could also be produced and secreted by MCF-7 cells, the possibility may be considered: AFP may bind with its receptors on tumor cell membrane for the purposes of growth stimulation.     

Alpha-fetoprotein enhances the proliferation of human hepatoma cells in vitro

Although the biological functions of alpha-fetoprotein ( AFP ) have been extensively studied, little is known about its effect on tumor cell growth. Our previous work has found that human AFP significantly stimulates the growth of mouse hepatoma cells in vitro. The purpose of the present study is to observe the effect of AFP on the proliferation of human hepatoma cells in vitro. Using a MTT- microculture tetrazolium assay, we found that the proliferation of human hepatoma cells was enhanced by in vitro treatment of AFP. However, the same concentrations of AFP had no effect on HL - 60 human leukemia cell proliferation, indicating that the human hepatoma cell proliferation - promoting role of AFP was not simply due to non-specific addition of exogenous protein and the proliferation enhancement of AFP showed certain tumor cell specificity. On the other hand, the growth stimulation of AFP could be diminished by rabbit anti - human AFP antibody. The anti- AFP antibody alone suppressed the growth of BEL - 7404 human hepatoma cells, not affecting HL - 60 cell proliferation. BEL - 7404 cell proliferation was not inhibited by normal rabbit immunoglobulins to demonstrate the specificity of anti-AFP effect. Taken together, it is concluded that AFP enhances the proliferation of human hepatoma cells in vitro, and this effect is seemingly mediated by an AFP/receptor autocrine pathway.     

HMBA诱导人肝癌SMMC-7721细胞分化的观察

本文研究HMBA对人肝癌SMMC-7721细胞的诱导分化作用.细胞生长曲线测定和细胞分裂指数观察显示HMBA可明显抑制细胞增殖,细胞生长抑制率达64.14%,分裂指数抑制率为53.88%.光镜和透射电镜观察可见HMBA能诱导人肝癌SMMG-7721细胞形态和超微结构发生恢复性改变.生化检测或免疫细胞化学方法观察显示,HM-BA处理后细胞γ.谷氨酸转肽酶(γ-GT)活性和甲胎蛋白(AFP)、增殖细胞核抗原(PCNA)表达均降低,而酪氨酸.酮戊二酸转氨酶(TAT)活性增强.流式细胞仪分析表明HMBA引起细胞发生G0/G1期阻滞.以上结果表明HMBA能有效抑制人肝癌细胞恶性增殖活性,逆转肝癌细胞恶性形态与超微结构特征,改变肝癌细胞相关酶活性和抗原表达,引发G0/G1期阻滞,从而对肝癌细胞具有明显的诱导分化作用.

The inhibitory effect of transthyretin gene on growth of human hepatoma cells

Transthyretin(TTR) gene was highly expressed in normal liver and it has been found to be deleted in part of DNA samples from human hepatic cancer.Its mRNA expression was suppressed in most hepatoma samples.In order to study the biological effect of TTR gene on the growth of hepatoma cells,a recombinant vector containing TTR cDNA was constructed by pCMV,then it was transfected into hepatoma cell lines SMMC-7721 and Q3.It has been demonstrated that the inhibition of growth rate of TTR cDNA transfected hepatoma cells was about 50% in strength compared with that of the control.This inhibition was further enhanced when the transfected hepatoma cells were treated with all-trans retinoic acid.Hepatoma cells of cell lines PLC/PRF/5,SMMC-7721 and Q3 as well as hepatoma cells SMMC-7721 transfected with pCMV or pCMV-TTR were analyzed for TTR expression by Northern hybridization.The low level of TTR expression was found in both hepatoma cell lines and in SMMC-7721 cells transfected with pCMV alone.However,a remarkable TTR mRNA expression was observed in hepatoma SMMV-7721 cells transfected with pCMV-TTR.It seems possible that TTR gene might be a candidate of cancer suppressor gene for human hepatic cancer.     

Redifferentiation of human hepatoma cells induced by synthesized coumarin

The effects of synthesized 7-OH-4-CH(3)-coumarin on proliferation and differentiation of human hepatoma carcinoma cell line, SMMC-7721, were examined. Results showed that 7-OH-4-CH(3)-coumarin suppressed the proliferation of the SMMC-7721 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC(50) value of 356 +/- 1.8 .M, while concentrations< or =200 mM could trigger differentiation. After treatment with this compound at 100 mM, the growth curve of human hepatoma cells decreased markedly. When treated with 50 and 100 mM, the cells' electrophoresis rate decreased from 2.2 mm/s/V/cm in the control group to 1.5 and 1.8 mm/s/V/cm, respectively, and the alpha-fetoprotein content decreased from 123 ng/mg in the control group to 68 and 45 ng/mg, respectively. The microvilli on the surface of treated cells were also reduced. All the above indexes related to cell malignancy were alleviated significantly. Results showed that 7-OH-4-CH(3)-coumarin could reverse human hepatoma cells' malignant phenotypic characteristics and induce redifferentiation.

人IL-17F对裸鼠人肝癌移植瘤生长的影响

利用RT-PCR方法从PHA活化的人外周血单个核细胞(PBMCs)中克隆hIL-17F基因,亚克隆至逆转录病毒载体pSIV-1,与辅助病毒载体pHIT456和pHIT60脂质体法共转染293T包装细胞,获得的成熟重组逆转录病毒(RV-hIL-17F)再感染SMMC-7721人肝癌细胞,并经G418筛选建立hIL-17F转基因肝癌细胞。PCR、RT-PCR和Westernblot结果表明hIL-17F基因在肝癌细胞中能成功整合、转录和表达。MTT和FCM结果表明hIL-17F不能改变SMMC-7721肝癌细胞的增殖活力和细胞周期,但ELISA结果表明其能明显下调肝癌细胞IL-6、IL-8和VEGF的表达。转基因肝癌细胞rhIL-17F表达上清具有抑制ECV304人脐静脉内皮细胞生长的作用。裸鼠皮下成瘤试验结果表明hIL-17F转基因肝癌细胞裸鼠致瘤能力明显减弱,VEGF和CD34表达降低,血管形成显著减少。hIL-17F可通过减少肿瘤血管形成显著抑制裸鼠人肝癌移植瘤的生长,为其进一步开展肿瘤血管靶向基因治疗和开发抗血管新药提供了一定的实验依据。     

HMBA诱导人肝癌SMMC—7721细胞分化的观察

In this paper, the effects of HMBA on the differentiation of human hepatocarcinoma cell line SMMC-7721 were investigated. After treated with 5 mmol/L HMBA, the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells was inhibited remarkably, the cell growth inhibitory rate amounted to 64.14%, the cell mitotic index was declined by 53.88%. Light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed that the morphology and ultrastructure of the cells treated with HMBA undergone restorational alteration. Cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry assay revealed that the activities of gamma-GT declined and the levels of AFP and PCNA downregulated while the activity of TAT increased significantly after HMBA treatment. In the meantime, flow cytometry analysis showed that HMBA could arrest the cells in G0/G1 phase. The results showed that HMBA could effectively inhibit the proliferation, reverse the malignant morphology and ultrastructure, alter the levels of enzymes and antigens, arrest the cells in G0/G1, and induce the differentiation of human hepatocarcinoma SMMC-7721 cells in vitro.
