AIM: To investigate 2-methoxyestradiol induced apoptosis and its mechanism of action in CNE2 cell lines. METHODS: CNE2 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium and treated with 2-methoxyestradiol in different concentrations. MTT assay was used to detect growth inhibition. Flow cytometry and DNA ladders were used to detect apoptosis. Western blotting was used to observe the expression of p53, p21(WAF1), Bax, and Bcl-2 protein. RESULTS: 2-methoxyestradiol inhibited proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE2 cells with IC(50) value of 2.82 micromol/L. The results of flow cytometry showed an accumulation of CNE2 cells in G2/M phase in response to 2-methoxyestradiol. Treatment of CNE2 cells with 2-methoxyestradiol resulted in DNA fragmentation. The expression levels of protein p53 and Bcl-2 decreased following 2-methoxyestradiol treatment in CNE2 cells, whereas Bax and p21(WAF1) protein expression were unaffected after treatment with 2-methoxyestradiol. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that 2-methoxyestradiol induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and apoptosis of CNE2 cells which was associated to Bcl-2 down-regulation. |
