Human primary hepatocytes are able to survive in a medium without glucose and arginine, but supplemented with galactose and ornithine (hepatocyte selection medium; HSM). To address the possibility of the application of HSM in cancer therapy, hepatocellular carcinoma cells, pancreatic cancer cells and gastric cancer cells were cultured in HSM. Cell proliferation was analyzed using an MTS assay. Morphological changes were analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Apoptosis was analyzed using a TUNEL assay and cell motility was assessed with a scratch assay. Cell proliferation was significantly suppressed in cell lines grown in HSM (P&lt;0.01 in all the cell lines). Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed pyknotic nuclei, suggesting that these cells had undergone apoptosis. The number of TUNEL-positive cells was significantly increased in HSM. In the scratch assay, the distance between the growing edge and the scratched edge was significantly lower (P&lt;0.01 in all the cell lines) in cells cultured in HSM, compared with those grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium or RPMI-1640. Therefore, the proliferation and motility of hepatocellular carcinoma cells, pancreatic cancer cells and gastric cancer cells was suppressed, and these cells subsequently underwent apoptosis in a medium without glucose and arginine, but containing galactose and ornithine.
