Effects of all-trans retinoic acid on biological behaviors in murine melanoma cell line B16F10
To investigate the inhibitory effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the proliferation
migration
apoptosis and tumorigenicity of B16F10 cells and the preliminary mechanism
in vitro
and
in vivo
.
Methods
2
The effect of ATRA on the proliferation of murine melanoma cell line B16F10 and mouse fibroblast cell line L929 was detected with MTT assay. The morphological changes were observed in the 2 cell lines after treatment under an inverted microscope. Migration ability of B16F10 cells after ATRA treatment was measured by wound healing assay and Transwell chamber assay. The apoptosis of B16F10 cells was analyzed with the use of DAPI staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. The effect of ATRA on the mitochondrial membrane potential and the expression of Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 in the B16F10 cells were detected by JC-1 staining and fluorescence spectrophotometry respectively. Tumorigenicity
in vivo
was evaluated by tumor formation in C57BL
/6 mice.
Results
2
ATRA exerted inhibitory effects on the proliferation in B16F10 and L929 cells in dose-dependent manners
but the survival rate was significantly lower in the B16F10 cells than the L929 cells (
P
<
0.05). After the 2 cell lines were treated with ATRA at low
moderate and high doses (6.25
16 and 40 μmol/L) respectively for 24 h
the B16F10 cells displayed apoptosis-like changes under moderate dose
and almost all died under high dose
without normal cellular morphology
while
the L929 cells only had morphological changes under high dose of ATRA. Wound healing and Transwell chamber test showed that moderate dose of ATRA (16 μmol/L) significantly inhibited the migration and invasion abilities in B16F10 cells
and the treatment for 24 h induced cell apoptosis
confirmed by nuclear cleavage and apoptotic bodies after DAPI staining
with a apoptotic rate of (37.27±4.42)%. The mitochondrial membrane potential was reduced while the expression levels of Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 were increased by 1.54±0.00 and 3.09±0.01 times respectively (
P
<
0.05). ATRA treatment also resulted in decreased and even no tumorigenicity of B16F10 cells (
P
<
0.001).
Conclusion
2
ATRA treatment significantly decreases the proliferation and migration of B16F10 cells
and further inhibits tumorigenicity through decreasing mitochondrial potential and activating Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 to promote cell apoptosis.
