Studies on the Mechanisms of Proliferative and Invasive Inhibition by Glycyrrhizin in Human Lung Cancer Cell

Objective To study the effects of glycyrrhizin on proliferative inhibition, anti-invasion, apoptotic induction, and the mechanisms of proliferative and invasive inhibition in highly metastasis human lung cancer cells (PGCL3). Methods After PGCL3 cells were treated with 0.5mmol/L and 1.0mmol/L glycyrrhizin for 96 h, the inhibitive rate of proliferation, the colony-forming rate in semisolid agar, the invasion to reconstituted basement membrane, the laminin adhesion, the chemotactic migration and the activity of cathepsin B were tested to observe the effects of the glycyrrhizin on proliferation and invasion of PGCL3 cells. Treated with glycyrrhizin in the above concentration for 48 h, the rate of apoptosis were examined by the methods of acridine orange-ethidium bromide fluorescent stain and terminal deoxynucleotide transferase mediated dUTP nick-end-labelling. Results Treated with glycyrrhizin, the inhibitive rates of proliferation were increased (p<0.05 and p<0.01), and the colony-forming rates were decreased significantly (p<0.01). The degrees of their inhibitions were in a dose-dependent fashion. IC 50 of the proliferation inhibition was 1.8mmol/L. The invasive ability of PGCL3 cells was reduced significantly (p<0.01). The adhesive rate, migration ability and the secretion of cathepsin B of PGCL3 cells about the key points in the invasive process were inhibited obviously (p<0.05 and p<0.01). The rates of apoptosis of the cells were increased significantly (p<0.01). Conclusions Glycyrrhizin inhibits the proliferation and invasion of the PGCL3 cells. The mechanisms of proliferative inhibition of Glycyrrhizin are inducing effects on differentiation and apoptosis of the PGCL3 cells. The mechanisms of anti-invasion of Glycyrrhizin are to inhibit many key points in the invasive process.
