AIM: To study the inhibitory effects of celecoxib on proliferation of human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells and gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells in vitro.
METHODS: The two carcinoma cells were cultured with celecoxib at various concentrations(0, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 320 mmol/L). Growth suppression was detected with MTT colorimetric assay, cell apoptotic alterations were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and quantity of Cox-2 was evaluated by cytochemical staining.
RESULTS: The inhibition of proliferation on two carcinoma cells was observed(49.1% and 42.9% by 320 mmol/L celecoxib). The inhibitory effect was dose-dependent. Apoptotic cells were observed under transmission electron microscope. The different quantities of Cox-2 protein in cells were observed by cytochemical staining.
CONCLUSION: Celecoxib inhibits proliferation, induces apoptosis of human two carcinoma cells in vitro, and the effects have close relation to the quantities of Cox-2 protein in cells.
