AIM:TOexplorethefeasibilityofenhancingapoptosis-inducingeffectsofchemotherapeuticdrugsonhumangastriccancercellsbystabletransfectionofextrinsicSmacgene.METHODS:AfterSmacgenewastransferredintogastriccancercelllineMKN-45,subclonecellswereobtainedbypersistentG418selection.CellularSmacgeneexpressionwasdeterminedbyRT-PCRandWesternblotting.Aftertreatmentwithmitomycin(MMC)asanapoptoticinducer,invitrocellgrowthactivitieswereinvestigatedbytrypanblue-stainingmethodandMI-Icolorimetry.Cellapoptosisanditsratesweredeterminedbyelectronicmicroscopy,annexinV-FITCandpropidiumiodidestainingflowcytometry.Cellularcaspase-3proteinexpressionanditsactivitieswereassayedbyWesternblottingandcolorimetry.RESULTS:WhencomparedwithMKN-45cells,theselectedsubclonecelllineMKN-45/SmachadsignificantlyhigherSmacmRNA(3.12±0.21vs0.82:1:0.14,t=7.52,P<0.01)andproteinlevels(4.02±0.24vs0.98:1:0.11,t=8.32,P<0.01).Aftertreatmentwith10μg/mLMMCfor6-24h,growthinhibitionrateofMKN-45/Smac(15.8±1.2-54.8±2.9%)wassignificantlyhigherthanthatofMKN-45(5.8±0.4-24.0±1.5%,t=6.42,P<0.01).PartialMKN-45/Smaccancercellspresentedcharacteristicmorphologicalchangesofapoptosisundertheelectronicmicroscopewithanapoptosisrateof36.4=1=2.1%,whichwassignificantlyhigherthanthatofMKN-45(15.2±0.8%,t=9.25,P<0,01).ComparedwithMKN-45,caspase-3expressionlevelsinMKN-45/Smacwereimprovedsignificantly(3.39±0.42vs0.96:1:0.14,t=8.63,P<0.01),whileitsactivitieswere3.25timesasmanyasthoseofMKN-45(0.364±0.010vs0.112:1:0.007,t=6.34,P<0.01).CONCLUSION:StabletransfectionofextrinsicSmacgeneanditsover-expressioningasbiccancercelllinecansignificantlyenhancecellularcaspase-3expressionandactivities,ameliorateapoptosis-inducingeffectsofmitomycinConcancercells,whichisanovelstrategytoimprovechemotherapeuticeffectsongastriccancer.
