title: Effect of mutant p27(kipl) gene on human cholangiocarcinoma cell line, QBC(939).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effects of exogenously mutated p27(kipl) (p27) on proliferation and apoptosis of human cholangiocarcinoma cell line, QBC(939)in vivo.
  
  
  METHODS
  Adenviral vectors were used to transfect mutated p27 cDNA into human QBC(939)cell line. Expression of p27 was detected by RT-PCR. Western blot. Cell growth, morphological change, cell cycle, apoptosis and cloning formation were determined by MTT assay and flow cytometry.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The expression of p27 protein and mRNA was increased significantly in QBC(939) cell line transfected with Ad-p27mt. The transfer of Ad-p27mt could significantly inhibit the growth of QBC(939) cells, decrease the cloning formation rate and induce apoptosis. p27 over expression caused cell cycle arrest at G(0)/G(1)phase 72 h after infection with Ad-p27mt.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  p27 may cause cell cycle arrest at G(0)/G(1)phase and subsequently lead to apoptosis. Recombinant adenovirus expressing mutant p27 may be potentially useful in gene therapy for cholangiocarcinoma.
