Effects of 5-FU combined with nimesulide on the expression of VEGF in human esophageal carcinoma Eca-109 (EC109)cell line
Objective:To investigate the effects ofNIM(a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor)
5-FU
and their combination on the expression of VEGF
in order to explore the possible mechanism. Methods:Nimesulide (100
200
400μmol/ml)and 5-FU(100
200
400μmol/ml) were used.EC109 cell lines were divided into control group
Nimesulide treated group
5-FU treated group
and Nimesulide combined with 5-FU group.The inhibition on the proliferation of EC109 cells respectively treated with Nimesulide
5-FU
and their combination were detected by MTT and their apoptosis rates were detected by FCM.The expression of VEGF mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. The protein expression of VEGF was detected by Western blotting. Results :The inhibition rate and apoptosis rate ofNimesulide combined with 5-FU were significantly higher than the single Nimesulide or 5-FU single treated.Nimesulide combined with 5-FU significantly reduced VEGF mRNA and protein
as compared with the single Nimesulide and 5-Fu.Conclusion:Nimesulide combined with 5-FU can inhibit the EC109 esophageal cancer cell proliferation in vitro
inhibiting VEGF expression may be one of its mechanisms.
