The effects of X-ray irradiation on the proliferation and apoptosis of MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Abstract:

:To investigate the effects of X-ray irradiation on the proliferation and apoptosis of MCF-7 breast cancer cells; MCF-7 breast cancer cells were irradiated with X-ray. After irradiation, morphological changes and growth inhibition rate of the irradiated cells were observed under an inverted microscope. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was used to assess the proliferation of the irradiated MCF-7 cells. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the morphology and ultrastructure of the irradiated MCF-7 cells. Western blotting was used to analyze the expression level of apoptosis-related protein caspase-3. Our results showed, at 48 h after the irradiation (0 Gy and 8 Gy), cells oval in shape, cell shrinkage or swelling and partial formation of debris under inverted microscope; as well as cytoplasmic vacuolization or inspissation, increased electron density of cytoplasm, structural damage of organelles, blurred mitochondrial cristae and chromatin margination under transmission electron microscopy; the survival rate of MCF-7 cells in X-ray group was 17.3% lower than that in control group (0 Gy) (p < 0.001); while caspase-3 expression increased evidently in X-ray group compared with control group (0 Gy) (p < 0.05). In conclusion, X-ray irradiation can inhibit the proliferation of MCF-7 cells and induce apoptosis through increasing caspase-3 expression.
