Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic agents 5-FU,cisplatin(DDP) or TAXOL on colon cancer cell line SW480 with different methods,to find out the best examine time period for further study of chemotherapeutic sensitivities.Methods:The SW480 cell was treated with 5-FU(200μg/mL),DDP(150μg/mL) or TAXOL(50μg/mL) respectively for 4h,8h or 12h.MTT assay was used to examine the cell survival rate,Annexin V/PI assay was used to analysis the apoptosis rate,Western Blot assay was applied to examine the expression of apoptotic protein.Results:(1) Results of MTT assay showed that the survival rate of SW480 cells at 4h,8h or 12h was:5-FU(200μg/mL)96.0%±8.2%,85.4%±7.8%,74.4% ±10.2%(P<0.05);DDP(150μg/mL) 99.0%±6.4%,88.7%±4.7%(P<0.05),46.9%±2.6%(P<0.01);TAXOL(50μg/mL) 51.5%±4.2%(P<0.01),31.9%±3.1%,17.6%±2.3%,or blank group 97.2%±5.8%,98.7%±7.2%,97.5%±7.5% respectively.(2) The apoptosis rate of cancer cells at 4h,8h or 12h was:control group:3.4%±0.2%,6.2%±0.4%,7.0%±0.5%;5-FU(200μg/mL) 4.0%±0.3%,4.8%±0.4%,7.7%±0.7%;DDP(150μg/mL) 8.5%±0.9%,18.6%±1.6%(P<0.05),67.0%±6.2%(P<0.01);or TAXOL(50μg/mL) 32.0%±5.2%(P<0.01),76.6%±8.5%,94.0% ±8.2%,respectively.(3) Western Blot assay showed that the expression of apoptosis associated protein.PARP,X-linked inhibitor of apoptasis(XIAP),Caspase-9 and Bcl-xL were changed.Conclusion:The sensitivity of chemotherapy could be assessed by MTT assay,Annexin V/PI assay and Western Blot.The best examine time of the three chemotherapuc agents was 5-FU(200μg/mL):>12h,DDP(150μg/mL):8-12h,or TAXOL(50μg/mL):<4h.
