Abstract

To investigate the effect of the environmental carcinogenic factor-TCDD (2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) on cell apoptosis and gene regulation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6 (IGFBP-6) in osteogenic sarcoma (SaOS-2) cells. The SaOS-2 cells were cultured with TCDD (1 x 10(-9), 1 x 10(-8), 1 x 10(-7) mol/L) for 24 hours. The MTT reduction assay and flow cytometry were used to measure the cell proliferation and the cell apoptosis in TCDD-treated SaOS-2 cells. The Nitrophenol phosphate salt method was used to measure activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in SaOS-2 cells. The IGFBP-6 mRNA and protein in SaOS-2 cells were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting analysis. SaOS-2 cell proliferation was up-regulated with TCDD (1 x 10(-9), 1 x 10(-8), and 1 x 10(-7) mol/L) about 20%, 47% and 93% (18.4 +/- 4.5, 22.5 +/- 3.6 and 29.4 +/- 4.2), respectively. The synthesis of ALP was up-regulated about 28%, 95%, and 142% (1.12 +/- 0.28, 1.58 +/- 0.14 and 1.96 +/- 0.17), respectively (P < 0.05). The cell apoptosis was down-regulated in dose-dependent biological manner about 5%, 26% and 52%, respectively (P < 0.05). The expression of IGFBP-6 mRNA and protein was decreas...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
