title: [Analysis of cell proliferation kinetics and the effects of cisplatin on the cell cycle of human gastric cancer cells by autostage cytofluorometry].
abstract: Analysis of both cell proliferation kinetics and effects of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) on cell cycle in human gastric cancer cell line (HGC-Y2) by measuring the contents of nuclear DNA, RNA and the Ki-67 antigen using autostage cytofluorometry system was described. In HGC-Y2 cells, RNA content increased during the cell cycle and reached to the maximum at G2/M phase. The results of pulse treatment with CDDP on these cells demonstrated a prolongation of S phase and G2 arrest with increasing of RNA content of these cells. We classified the cells by intranuclear distribution pattern of Ki-67 antigen and thus could identified the cells at G0 and M phases from these classification. The content of Ki-67 antigen was moderate grade at G1 phase and it decreased in the early S phase, then increased gradually during S phase and at the late S phase. It increased rapidly, reaching to the maximum at G2/M phase. After CDDP treatment, the content of Ki-67 antigen increased in the cells in prolonged S phase and in the cells arrested at G2 phase. It was also found that the syntheses of both Ki-67 antigen and RNA were not inhibited by CDDP. These results suggest that the method using autostage cytofluorometry system was useful for the research, on the mechanism of cancer therapy because of making possible to analyze precisely the cell cycle and the influence of anticancer drugs.
