Abstract:
Objective To investigate the cytotoxiciactivities of Newcastle disease virus(NDV) D817 and lasota to hepatocarcinoma cell. Methods The cytotoxic effects of two NDV strains on the SMMC-7721,Bel-7404, HepG-2 and HL-7702 Cell lines were investigated using MTT assay. The apoptosisofhepatocarcinoma cellinducedbyNDV strain D817was evaluatedby TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) and transmission electron microscopy. Results The apparently pathological changes were observed in SMMC-7721,Bel-7404 and HepG-2 tumor cells, but not in HL-7721 cells. TheNVD-strain D817 exhibitedhigher suppressed effect on tumor cellsthan the LaSota. Conclusion NDV-strain D817 couldeffectivelyinduce theapoptosisofhepatocarcinoma cell, which will be a potential anticancer agent for the treatment of liver cancer.
