Methods: Ovarian cancer cells A2780 were treated with different concentrations of SCR extract (SCRE), and compared with controls. Effects on cell growth were evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay; proliferation effects by EdU incorporation assay; cell cycle by propidium iodide staining; apoptosis by annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide; cellular distribution of nuclear factor- κ B (NF-κ B) by immunofluorescence; protein levels of NF- κB, caspase-3, poly-adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), cellular inhibitor of apoptosis (clAP)-1, anti-X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XlAP), B-cell lymphoma-extra large (BcI-XL), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and AKT by Western blotting; and effects of SCRE combined with cisplatin or adriamycin on A2780 cells by CCK-8 assay. Results: SCRE suppressed A2780 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner (P〈0.05, /=〈0.01), arrested cells in GJM phase and induced apoptosis by activating caspase-3, PARP and Bax. SCRE treatment also correlated with inhibition of NF-κ B and downregulation of Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, clAP-l, XlAP and AKT. SCRE can promote chemosensitivity to cisplatin and adriamycin in A2780 cells (P〈0.01). Conclusion: SCR effectively inhibits NF- κ B, induces apoptosis and reduces chemoresistance to cisplatin and adriamycin in ovarian cancer cells, which might be its molecular basis for treating ovarian cancer.展开更多
