Objective To explore the effects of bile from patients with cholecystolithiasis on the growth of human gallbladder carcinoma cells GBC-SD and the potential correlation between cholecystolithiasis and gallbladder carcinoma.
Methods Cholecystolithiasis bile (CB) and normal bile (NB) specimens were used for this study. The proliferative effects of bile were measured by methabenzthiazuron (MTT) assay and cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry.
Results CB can significantly promote the proliferation of GBC-SD cells, GBC-SD proliferative index increased significantly after treated with 1% CB for 48 h (P<0.05).The Sphase fraction of CB 〔(49.26±8.07)%〕 increased remarkably (P<0.05) compared with that of NB 〔(25.54±6.57)%〕, and the CB percentage of G0/G1 phase 〔(40.59±9.12)%〕 decreased remarkably (P<0.05) compared with NB 〔(60.64±13.42)〕%.
Conclusion CB can promote the proliferation of human gallbladder carcinoma GBC-SD cells.
