Objective:
To investigate the effect of 1,25 (OH)(2)D(3) on cell proliferation and the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α ) in human gastric carcinoma SGC-7901 cells.
Methods:
SGC-7901 cells were treated with 1×10(-6), 1×10(-7), 1×10(-8), and 1×10(-9) mol/L 1,25 (OH)(2)D(3) for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. The cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay, and the cell cycle changes were analyzed using flow cytometry. RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the expression of TNF-α mRNA and protein, respectively.
Results:
1,25 (OH)(2)D(3) significantly inhibited SGC-7901 cell proliferation (P<0.05) in a time- and dose-dependent fashion. Treatment with 1,25 (OH)(2)D(3) for 72 h caused significant cell cycle arrest at G(0)/G(1) phase (F=9.81, P<0.05) and dose-dependently inhibited the expression of TNF-α at both mRNA and protein levels in SGC-7901 cells (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
The inhibitory effect of 1,25 (OH)(2)D(3) on SGC-7901 cell proliferation is probably associated with the down- regulation of TNF-α expression.
