摘要
目的探讨MTT比色法用于视网膜色素上皮(RPE)细胞研究的可行性。方法逐项筛选MTT法的实验条件,与细胞计数法和克隆形成试验比较,观察柔红霉素对RPE的细胞毒作用。结果MTT作用6h以上、二甲基亚砜溶解5~10min后即刻测定吸光度(A值)是最适宜的条件。A550nm大于A490nm,由两种波长所得抑制率间无显著差异(P>0.05)。细胞数与A值成直线相关(P<0.01)。由MTT法、细胞计数法和克隆形成试验所得柔红霉素对RPE细胞的EC50分别为20.00、1615和1224μg/L,EC90分别为118.02、145.59和42.50μg/L。
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility in a tetrazolium colorimetric assay(MTT assay)applied for retinal pigment epithelial(RPE)cells.MethodsThe optimal variables in MTT assay were selected one by one.Compared with cell counting and clone formation test,MTT assay was used in study of the cytotoxicity of daunoblastina on RPE cells.ResultsThe optimal variables for RPE cells were more than 6 h for MTT incubation time,formazan dissolved in DMSO for 5~10 min and immediate measurement of the solution.Absorbance(A value)at 550 nm was greater than that at 490 nm,but there was no statistical difference between the two kinds of filters when compared by percentage of cellular inhibition.A linear relationship was noted between A value and RPE cell number.The concentration of daunoblastina required for 50% growth inhibition of RPE cells by MTT assay,cell counting and clone formation test were 20.00,16.15 and 12.24 μg/L.The concentration required for 90% growth inhibition of RPE cells were 118.02 , 145.59 and 42.50 μg/L,respectively.ConclusionMTT assay is valuable for measuring RPE cell proliferation and cytotoxicity of antimetablic agents.
