ObjectiveTo observe the effect and significance of the antitumor drugs (Vincristine,VCR) on the proliferation and invasion of rat islet beta tumor cell lines (INS-1 cell),and the expression of hTERT,Sp1and c-myc,and to explore the mechanism of Pancreatic B cell tumor.MethodsThe INS-1 cells were divided into two groups:the control group (no VCR) and the experimental group (concentration of VCR were 0.008 mg/ml,0.04 mg/ml,0.2 mg/ml,1 mg/ml,respectively).After being cultured for 24 hours,MTT assay was used to examine the inhibition rate of the INS-1 proliferation;the invasive ability was tested by Transwell invasion assay.The expressions of hTERT,Sp1 and c-myc in INS-1 cells were detected by RT-PCR.ResultsWith the concentration of antitumor drugs VCR increased,the growth inhibition rate of INS-1 also increased gradually (P<0.05),and the inhibition rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05);after being cultured by Transwell for 24 hours,the cell number into the submucosa membrane was (150.65±4.02) in the control group,while (63.26±5.12) in the experimental group(P<0.01);Compared with the control group,as time went by,the expressions of hTERT,Sp1,c-myc mRNA gene in the INS-1 cells of the experimental group weakened gradually (P<0.05).ConclusionVCR can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of INS-1 cells mainly through inhibiting the expressions of Sp1,c-myc and Htert, and the telomerase activity of INS-1,and then inhibiting cell proliferation and reducing the invasive ability.
