Abstract

The change of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression was examined in three gastric cancer cell lines, MKN28, MKN45 and MKN74, during continuous or bolus exposure to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The cytotoxic effect of 5-FU was almost the same in all the cells. PCNA expression was higher at 24 and 72 h after continuous 5-FU treatment than before treatment. Continuous 5-FU treatment of cells revealed higher expression of PCNA protein and mRNA than did bolus treatment. Flow cytometry revealed that 5-FU increased cell population at the late G1 or S phase 24 and 72 h after treatment. PCNA values at the late G1 and S phase were significantly higher than those at other phases 24 h after treatment. These results suggest that PCNA expression increased due to cell cycle accumulation at late G1 and S phases. Thus PCNA values just after chemotherapy of gastric cancer may be useful in predicting the therapeutic effects of continuous 5-FU administration.
