PTEN gene expression inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis in human oral squamous carcinoma cell line TCA-8113
Objective To evaluate the effects of PTEN gene expression on inhibiting the proliferation and promoting the apoptosis of human oral squamous carcinoma cell line TCA-8113. Methods TCA-8113 cells were transfected with eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1-PTEN to obtain an experimental group. Besides
TCA-8113 cells were also treated with PBS
plasmid pcDNA3.1 and Lipofectamine to obtain a blank group and two control groups (a pcDNA3.1-transfected group and a Lipofectamine-treated group). The proliferation of TCA-8113 cells was detected by MTT assay and colony-forming assay. The apoptosis of TCA-8113 cells was evaluated by flow cytometry
TUNEL assay and Western blotting. Results TCA-8113 cells transfected with plasmid pcDNA3.1-PTEN had high intracellular expression of PTEN. Colony-forming assay showed that the clone numbers of the blank group
Lipofectamine-treated group
pcDNA3.1-transfected group and pcDNA3.1-PTEN-transfected group were 107.34±4.62
79.27±3.71
72.03±2.38 and 19.73±1.02
respectively. The inhibitive rate of TCA-8113 cells in the pcDNA3.1-PTEN-transfected group was 72.60%
significantly higher than that in the pcDNA3.1-transfected group (P<0.05). MTT assay showed that the inhibitive rates of TCA-8113 cells in the pcDNA3.1-PTEN-transfected group were 18.16% and 42.74% at 48 h and 72 h after transfection
significantly higher than those in the pcDNA3.1-transfected group (P<0.05). Flow cytometry showed that the death rate of TCA-8113 cells in the pcDNA3.1-PTEN-transfected group was 62.12%
significantly higher than that in the pcDNA3.1-transfected group (P<0.05). TUNEL assay showed that the apoptosis of TCA-8113 cells in the pcDNA3.1-PTEN-transfected group was (45.67±2.31)%
significantly higher than that in the pcDNA3.1-transfected group (P<0.05). Furthermore
PTEN inhibited Bcl-2 expression and activated Bax expression
as proven by Western blotting. Conclusion The expression of PTEN gene can remarkably inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of TCA-8113 cells.
