Effects of Paclitaxel on Growth Inhibition and Pro-apoptosis of Human Carcinoma of Mouth Floor KB Cells
Objective:To explore the effects of paclitaxel on the growth and apoptosis of human carcinoma of mouth floor KB cells.Method: Growth inhibitory effect of paclitaxel on KB cells was detected by MTT assay and IC50 value was calculated.Human carcinoma of mouth floor KB cells were cultured with 0.25
0.5 and 1 μmol·L-1 paclitaxel for 48 h.The cell apoptosis was detected by DAPI staining and flow cytometry.Western blot was used to explore the effects of paclitaxel on apoptosis-regulated proteins
such as Bax
Bcl-2 and pro-caspase-3.Result: Paclitaxel inhibited the growth of KB cells.A typical feature of apoptosis was observed by DAPI staining.The flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate increased after paclitaxel treatment.Western blot showed that the expression of Bcl-2 decreased and Bax increased
and caspase-3 was activated.Conclusion: Paclitaxel can inhibit the growth of human carcinoma of mouth floor KB cells and induce its apoptosis
