Abstract: Purpose and Methods : The occurrence of apoptosis induced by 8 - Br - cAMP was studied in human Eca - 109 cell line and by means of TUNEL method. Results : The spontaneus apoptosis f requency of human Eca - 109 cells was 10. 3 %. The apoptosis f requency of Eca - 109 cells t reated with 8 - Br - cAMP was 33. 2 %. There was statistical significant difference between the cont rol group and 8 - Br - cAMP induced group. Conclusion : The result s indicated that 8 - Br - cAMP could possess the tendency of increase apoptosis f requency inhuman Eca - 109 cell line.

Key words: apoptosis, 8 - Br - cAMP, Eca - 109 cell line
