冬凌草甲素对人肝癌MHCC-97H细胞系侵袭和迁移的作用

目的:探讨冬凌草甲素(oridonin)对肝癌细胞侵袭和迁移的影响及其机制。方法:采用细胞培养技术培养人肝细胞癌MHCC-97H细胞,用不同浓度的冬凌草甲素处理肝癌细胞,采用划痕实验检测细胞的迁移能力;Transwell实验测定细胞的侵袭能力;黏附实验评价细胞的黏附能力;Western blot法检测LIM激酶1(LIMK-1)、丝切蛋白(cofilin)和磷酸化cofilin(p-cofilin)蛋白水平的改变。结果:冬凌草甲素可明显降低肝癌细胞的体外侵袭、迁移及黏附能力(P0.05),且在一定浓度范围内具有明显的量效关系。冬凌草甲素干预处理细胞后,cofilin的蛋白水平无明显变化,LIMK-1和p-cofilin的蛋白水平明显下调。结论:冬凌草甲素体外具有抑制肝癌MHCC-97H细胞侵袭和迁移的作用,其机制可能与调控LIMK-1/cofilin信号通路有关。

Effects of oridonin on invasion and migration of human hepatocellular carcinoma MHCC-97H cells

AIM: To investigate the effects of oridonin on the invasion and migration of hepatocelluar carcinoma cells. METHODS: Human hepatocelluar carcinoma MHCC-97H cells were cultured and treated with 5, 10 or 20 μmol/L oridonin. The migration ability was measured by wound healing assay. The invasion ability was examined by Transwell invasion assay. The adhesion capabilities were evaluated by adhesion assay. The protein levels of LIM kinase-1 (LIMK-1), cofilin and phosphorylated cofilin (p-cofilin) were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Oridonin inhibited the migration, invasion and adhesion abilities of MHCC-97H cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). After oridonin treatment, the expression of cofilin had no obvious change, but the protein levels of LIMK-1 and p-cofilin decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: Oridonin inhibits the invasion and migration of MHCC-97H cells. The mechanism may be related with the regulatory effect of oridonin on LIMK-1/cofilin signal transduction pathway.
