Abstract: AIM: To explore the effect of the 4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl retinate(ATPR) on the proliferation and differentiation of SKOV3 tumor cell in vitro.METHODS: Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay and growth curve of cells; morphologic changes were observed after Giemsa staining using inverted phase contrast microscope; CA125 were measured by ELISA; the cell cycle were analyzed by Flow Cytometry (FCM).RESULTS: The growth of SKOV3 cells was inhibited in a does-dependent manner after the treatment with ATPR. The phanero depressant effect appeared at 48 h, but it was significant after 72 h. Cell morphous was observed to be mature in inverted microscope. The content of CA125 decreased. The proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase increased while the cells in S phase decreased. Cell cycle progression was blocked in the G0/G1 phase.CONCLUSION: ATPR could inhibit the proliferation and induce differentiation in some degree. The direction of differentiation is still need further study.
