ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of caveolion-1 on the growth and proliferation of human pancreatic carcinoma cell Panc1, in vitro. MethodsThe plasmid pCI-neo-cav-1 and its corresponding empty vector (pCI-neo) were transfected into Panc1 cell line (study group and control group, respectively). Expressions of caveolin-1, Akt, and Aktphosphate (p-Akt) were determined in transfectants by Western blot analysis. The cell growth curve was drawn and the double time was calculated in each group, and the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The colony formation ability of tumor cells was detected by anchorageindependent growth assay. ResultsCaveolin-1 expression was up-regulated (P lt;0.01) and the growth of Panc1 cell was inhibited significantly (P lt;0.01) in the study group comparing with the control group. Caveolin-1 overexpression inhibited proliferation of Panc1 cell by arresting the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase (P lt;0.05), the rate of S phase in the study group was lower than that of the control group (P lt;0.01). Proliferation index of the study group was also lower than that of the control group (P lt;0.01). Caveolin-1 overexpression reduced the capacity of the cells to form colonies in soft agar (P lt;0.01). p-Akt protein was reduced in the study group as compared with the control group (P lt;0.05). ConclusionCaveolin-1 can function as a cancer suppressor through inhibiting the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in Panc1 cell.
