Potassium channel blocker (4-AP) enhances the radiosensitivity of human cervical cancer cell line HeLa to 252Cf neutron ray
Objective To investigate the potential effect of 4-amino-pynidine (4-AP) on human cervical carcinoma cell line HeLa to
252
Cf neutron ray. Methods HeLa cells were treated with 4-AP(0

respectively) and then exposed to 0.67 Gy
252
Cf neutron ray. The effect of 4-AP on proliferation of HeLa cells was assessed by MTT assay. Cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting were used to investigate the levels of HIF-1α mRNA and protein of HeLa cells treated with 4-AP (0
20 mmol/L) and 0.67 Gy

their inhibitory rate was 0, (38.81 ±3.45)%, (46.63±3.88)%, (63.58±6.19)%, (77.51±8.87)%, and their apoptotic rate was (3.15±0.85)%, (8.01±1.19)%, (16.00±1.58)%, (47.20±3.18)%, (62.56±4.27)%
respectively
suggesting 4-AP may inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells and induce their apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner (P0.05). Of HeLa cells treated with 0 mmol/L 4-AP
the optical density ratio of HIF-1α mRNA/β-actin was (0.423±0.116)
(0.464±0.111)
(0.487±0.121)
(0.415±0.099) after 24-
48- and 72-hour exposure to 0.67 Gy

while the optical density ratio of HIF-1α protein/β-actin was (0.723±0.116)
(0.664±0.111)
(0.617±0.121)
(0.515±0.099) (both P0.05). However
after treated with 20 mmol/L 4-AP and exposed to 0.67 Gy
252
Cf neutron ray for 24
48 and 72 h
the optical density ratio of HIF-1α mRNA/β-actin of HeLa cells was (0.401±0.121), (0.364±0.142), (0.257±0.137), (0.165±0.099)
while the optical density ratio of HIF-1α protain/β-actin were (0.879±0.117)
(0.645±0.115)
(0.312±0.114)
(0.130±0.118)
showing that the levels of HIF-1α mRNA and protein both declined (P0.01). Conclusion To HeLa cells exposed to

potassium channel blocker (4-AP) pretreatment inhibits their HIF-1α expression and their proliferation and promote their apoptosis. The potassium channel blocker (4-AP) significantly enhances the sensitivity of HeLa cells to neutron radiotherapy.
