ABSTRACT This study sought to investigate the effects of celecoxib on the proliferation and morphological changes of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB-231 cells. In this study, after MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with a certain concentration of celecoxib, a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) proliferation assay was used to detect cell viability. Western blotting was utilized to analyze the expression level of caspase-3, which is an apoptosis-related protein. In addition, the morphological changes in the cells and nuclei were determined with fluorescence and electron microscope. Apoptotic nuclei and obvious cytoplasmic vacuolization were observed with a microscope. Collectively, celecoxib can inhibit the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells by increasing caspase-3 expression and causing ultrastructural changes.
