Abstract:
[Objective] To study the proliferation effect of p,p'-DDD on human mammary cancer cell MCF-7.
[Methods] We detected estrogenic activity of DDD using the MCF-7 cell proliferation experiment in vitro, and analysed its mechanism by means of growth curve.
[Results] DDD in the dose of 3& #215;10-7 mol/L and 3& #215;10-6 mol/L could stimulate the MCF-7 cell proliferation and produce estrogenic activity, and the most proliferation effect dose was 3& #215;10-6 mol/L. Cell cycle analysis of cell proliferation index indicated that DDD group was significantly higher than the control group at the third, fifth, and seventh day.
[Conclusion] DDD in the dose of 3& #215;10-7 mol/L and 3& #215;10-6 mol/L could stimulate the MCF-7 cell multiplication.
