Methods: The cytotoxicity of T. crispa extract was examined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC) cell lines. The effect on expression of MMP-13 was analysed by RT-PCR and ELISA. The migration was assessed by wound healing assay. Results: MMP-13 m RNA was highly expressed in the metastatic human HNSCC cell lines, HN22 and HSC-3. T. crispa extract at a concentration of 100.0 μg/m L caused about 50% reduction of cell survival. T. crispa extract at a non-toxic concentration of 12.5, 25.0 and 50.0 μg/m L signii cantly suppressed MMP-13 m RNA expression and secreted MMP-13 in both HN22 and HSC-3. The expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloprotease by HSC-3 cells was attenuated by 25.0 and 50.0 μg/m L of T. crispa extract. Addition of the extract to cells in a wound healing assay showed inhibition of cell migration by HN22 cells. Conclusions: These data suggest that T. crispa could be considered as a potential therapeutic drug to prevent metastasis of HNSCC.展开更多

The cell line retained many normal properties of liver epithelial cells and showed some structural and functional features resembling those of liver parenchymal cells. LW13 cells became malignant after the introduction of exogenous transforming EJ Ha ras gene. Tumors produced by inoculation of the transformed cells into baby rats .contained areas of poorly differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. In situ hybridization analysis confirmed the random rather than specific integration of exogenous ras gene into host chromosomes. Furthermore , an at least tenfold increase in the expression of the endogenous c myc gene was detected among transformed cell lines, suggesting the involvement of the c myc proto oncogene in the in vitro transformation of rat liver epithelial cells by EJ Ha ras oncogene.展开更多
