Effect of human ovarian cancer cell apoptosis induced by arsenic trioxide on telomerase activity
Objective To investicate the effect of apoptosis of human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV
3
and 3AO exposed to arsenic trioxide on telomerase activity and its mechanisms. Methods The human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 and 3OA were treated with arsenic trioxide of different concentration for 12
24
72 h. Cell morphology
PCR-ELISA
RT-PCR were adopted to detect the cell apoptosis and telomerase activity and the expression of human telomerase catalytic subunit (hTERT). Results Arsenic trixide could induce apoptisis of ovarian cancer cell lines
but there exists difference in drug concentration
type of cell line. A dose and time-dependent decline of telomerase activity after SKOV
3
and
3AO cells exposed to arsenic trixide
meanwhile hTERT mRNA was down-regulated. Conclusion Telomerase activity and hTERT mRNA expression have close relationship and play an important role in arsenic trioxide inducing SKOV
