榄香烯联合三苯氧胺对乳腺癌MCF-7细胞株的抑制效应

目的观察榄香烯和三苯氧胺对乳腺癌细胞的抑制效应,尤其是两者联合应用有无协同增效作用。方法将MCF-7细胞培养于RPMI1640培养基中,置入37℃,100%湿度,5%(体积分数)的CO2培养箱内。接种细胞并加入实验药物,用CCK-8法检测三苯氧胺联合榄香烯对细胞的增殖抑制效应,用酶标仪在450nm测量每孔吸光度值,计算每组细胞抑制率。结果无毒剂量的榄香烯与治疗剂量的三苯氧胺联合应用,吸光度均值较单用三苯氧胺明显下降,并且相应的细胞抑制效应较单用组明显上升。结论无毒剂量的榄香烯能够使三苯氧胺对乳腺癌细胞的抑制效应显著增强,提示榄香烯与三苯氧胺联合应用具有协同作用。

The inhibitory effect of elemene combined with tamoxifen on the breast cancer MCF-7 cell line

Objective To explore if elemene can synergize tamoxifen through using non-cytotoxic dose of elemene and tamoxifen in combination on MCF-7cell line of breast cancer.Methods First,MCF-7 cell line was cultured in RPMI1640.Then,TAM's inhibitory effect united with elemene on MCF-7 cell line was analyzed by using CCK-8 test.Results When adding non-cytotoxic dose of elemene and curative dose of tamoxifen into the two experimental groups,the absorptivity in the two groups reduced notably,compared with that of the groups using tamoxifen alone;accordingly,the inhibition rate in two mixing groups increased obviously compared with that in single-drug groups.Conclusion Elemene of innocuous dose can remarkably enhance the inhibitory effect of tamoxifen,which indicates that elemene may synergize the effect of tamoxifen on breast cancer.
