Inhibition on Telomerase Activity and Cytotoxic Effects by Cisplatin in Cultured Human Choroidal Melanoma Cells

摘要

Purpose: To study the changes of telomerase activity and cytotoxic effects by Cisplatin;cis-dichlorodiamine platinum (CDDP) in cultured human choroidal melanoma.Material and Methods: The primary cultured human choroidal melanoma cells werecultured in the presence and absence of CDDP with different concentration and timerespectively. The toxic effects were evaluated by MTT and the level of telormarse wasdetected by PCR-ELISA assay. And the relationship between telomerase activity andcytotoxic effects were analyzed by a correlation analysis.Results: Following the increase of the concentration and the time of CDDP, graduallyrepressed telomerase activity was detected in cultured cells. Meanwhile, the restrain rateof the cells increased. The telomerase activity at 24h and 1μg/ml was repressedsignificantly compared with the control cells. However, the appearance of cell deathlagged behind the decreasing of telomerase.Conclusions: CDDP is an effective telomerase inhibitor in cultured choroidal melanomacells of human eyes, which presents concentration and time dependency and can causethe death of cultured cells.
