摘要
目的:考察桔皮素对人肝癌Hep G2细胞体外增殖和侵袭的影响,并探讨其作用机制。方法:以0(空白对照组)、10、20、40、60、80μmol/L桔皮素分别作用于细胞24、48 h后,采用CCK-8法检测细胞增殖率,并计算其半数抑制浓度(IC50)。以0、20、30μmol/L桔皮素作用细胞48 h后,采用Transwell侵袭实验考察其对细胞侵袭的影响;并分别采用实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应法和Western blot法考察其对细胞中E-钙黏蛋白(E-cadherin)、N-钙黏蛋白(N-cadherin)、波形蛋白(Vimentin)、Notch-1、免疫细胞表面抗原44(CD44)、基质金属蛋白酶9(MMP-9)m RNA及其蛋白表达的影响;采用Western blot法考察蛋白激酶B(Akt)、糖原合成酶激酶3β(GSK-3β)的磷酸化水平。结果:1080μmol/L桔皮素对人肝癌Hep G2细胞的体外增殖均具有明显的抑制作用,且呈时间和剂量依赖性,增殖率较空白对照组显著降低(P〈0.05),作用24、48 h后的IC50分别为55.7、23.4μmol/L。20、30μmol/L桔皮素作用48 h后,细胞侵袭能力明显受到抑制;细胞中N-cadherin、Vimentin、Notch-1、CD44和MMP-9 m RNA及其蛋白水平表达明显降低,E-cadherin m RNA及其蛋白表达水平明显升高,且Akt、GSK-3β磷酸化水平升高,较空白对照组差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论:桔皮素可抑制人肝癌Hep G2细胞的体外增殖和侵袭;其机制可能与下调细胞中Notch-1表达、抑制细胞的上皮-间质转化而抑制CD44和MMP-9的表达,以及抑制其上游Akt-GSK-3β信号途径有关。
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of tangeretin on in vitro proliferation and invasion of human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep G2 cells,and to investigate its mechanism.METHODS:After treated with 0(blank control group),10,20,40,60,80 μmol/L tangeretin for 24,48 h,the rate of cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay,and IC50 was calculated.After treated with 0,20,30 μmol/L tangeretin for 48 h,Transwell invasion test was used to investigate the effects of tangeretin on cell invasion.The effects of tangeretin on m RNA and protein expression of E-cadherin,N-cadherin,Vimentin,Notch-1,CD44 and MMP-9 were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot assay.The phosphorylation of Akt and GSK-3β were investigated by Western blot assay.RESULTS:10-80 μmol/L tangeretin significantly inhibited in vitro proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep G2 cells in time and dose-dependent manner;proliferation rates of them were significantly lowered,compared to blank control group(P〈0.05);IC50 were 55.7,23.4 μmol/L after treated for 24,48 h.After treated with 20,30 μmol/L tangeretin for 48 h,cell invasion was inhibited in Hep G2 cells;m RNA and protein expression of N-cadherin,Vimentin,Notch-1,CD44 and MMP-9decreased significantly,while those of E-cadherin increased significantly;the phosphorylated levels of Akt and GSK-3β increased;there was statistical significance between them and blank control group(P〈0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Tangeretin can inhibit in vitro proliferation and invasion of human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep G2 cell,which may be associated with inhibiting the expression of CK44 and MMP-9 and signal pathway of upstream Akt-GSK-3β through up-regulating the expression of Notch-1 and inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
