Growth-inhibition effects of a novel anti-tumor polypeptide from Meretrix meretrix Linnaeus associated with tubulin polymerization

Purpose To investigate the anti-tumor effects of a novel polypeptide(Mere15) on A549 cells and to elucidate the possible mechanism.Methods Human lung cancer A549 cells were treated with certain concentration of Mere15,and the growth inhibition rates were determined by MTT assay.Flow cytometry was performed to measure the cell cycle arrest and tubulin immunofluorescence was used to detect the tubulin polymerization.Western blot was performed to determine the expression of p21.Results Mere15 inhibited the growth of A549 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner.The percentage of A549 cells in G2/M phase was increased and the tubulin polymerization was inhibited.The expression of p21 protein augmented time-dependently.Conclusion Mere15 inhibited the growth of A549 cells associated with tubulin polymerization.
