title: [The effect of acetylcholine and atropine on proliferation and differentiation and mAchR1 expression of human SK-N-SH cells].
abstract: The SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells were treated with acetylcholine (Ach) and atropine (Atro), the proliferation activity of cells was detected by CCK-8 method and the cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry. The changes of the mRNA and protein of mAchR1 and c-fos were analysed by fluorescence quantitative PCR, western blot and flow cytometry indirect-immunofluorescence. Results showed 1 mmol/L Ach could significantly stimulate the proliferation of SK-N-SH cells and 1 mmol/L Atro could prevent SK-N-SH cells from S phase growing into G2/M phase; 1 mmol/L Ach and 1 mmol/L Atro had feedback adjustment on the protein level of mAchR1, but had no significant effect on mRNA level of mAchR1. 1 mmol/L Ach increased the both levels of mRNA and protein of Fos obviously, this effect was reversed by Atro. All phenomena clue us cholinergic receptors joining the events of cell proliferation.
