ObjectiveTo study the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on proliferation of human rectal cancer cell in vitro. MethodsThe experiment was divided into control group,rhGH group,Oxaliplatin (LOHP) group and rhGH+LOHP group. The double proliferation time of cells,cell inhibition rate,cell cycle, proliferation index (PI) and DNA inhibition rate of human rectal cancer line,HR8348,were studied by cell culture, MTT assay and flow cytometry on different concentration of rhGH. ResultsIn vitro the markedly accelerated effects of rhGH on multiplication of HR8348 cell line were not found: there was no statistical significance as compared rhGH group with control group or compared rhGH+LOHP group and LOHP group (P gt;0.05). The double proliferation time of cells was markedly lengthened, cell inhibition rate and the cells arrested in G0-G1 phase were obviously increased, meanwhile, the cells in S phase (P<0.05) and G2-M phase and PI were markedly decreased and DNA inhibition rate was obviously risen as compared rhGH+LOHP group with control group or rhGH+LOHP group and rhGH group (P<0.01).Conclusion
In vitro rhGH does not accelerate the multiplication of human rectal cancer cells.
