应用半固体琼脂培养法和MTT法研究了极大螺旋藻胞内多糖对人血癌细胞U397和HL-60的影响。实验结果显示,对体外生长的U937细胞有促进生长的作用,而对体外生长的HL-60细胞有抑制生长的作用。提示极大螺旋藻胞内多糖对人的血癌细胞的生长有明显的影响。

The effects of polysaccharides from Spirulina ma.zima on the growth of human leukemia cells were studied by semi-solid agar culture and MTT staining. The results showed that the polysaccharides could significantly promote the growth of U937 cells and retard the growth of HL-60 cells,especially at concentraions of 60 and 15 nmol/L, which suggested that the polysaccharides from Spirulina maxima could obviously affect the growth of human leukemia cells.
