Aim: To study the effect of cyclin G2 on proliferation of gastric adenocarcinoma cell line-SGC-7901 cell in vitro.
Methods: By use of cation lipofectamine transfection reagent, the pIRES-G2 and pIRESneo plasmids were transferred into SGC-7901cell line. Anticlones were selected by G418. Positive clones were observed and counted using Giemsa staining. Cell proliferative ability was assayed by MTT.
Results: (1) The clone number of pIRES-G2 group decreased, clone volume reduced. The number of cell clones in pIRESneo group was 87+/-3, that of pIRES-G2 group was 53+/-4, occupying 60.1% of pIRESneo group, there was significant difference obviously (P<0.01, t=15.45). (2) The average absorbance of clone cell obtained by stable transfection of pIRES-G2 at 570 nm was 1.6966+/-0.2125, the average absorbance of clone cell obtained by stable transfection of pIRESneo at 570 nm was 2.1182+/-0.3675, there was significant difference between them (P<0.01, t=3.412).
Conclusion: Cyclin G2 can inhibit SGC-7901cell proliferative ability obviously, it may be a negative regulator in cell cycle regulation.
