Inhibitory Effect and Mechanism of Jingulian Capsule on Human Breast Cancer MDA-MB-231 Cells / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Objective:To observe effect of Jingulian capsule on the proliferation of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and investigate its action mechanism against triple negative breast cancer （TNBC）. Method:The ingredients of Jingulian capsule were identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry（UPLC-MS/MS）. The inhibitory effect of Jingulian capsule at different doses （0.125，0.25，0.5，1，and 2 g·L^-1） against the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） assay. After treatment for 24 h， the morphological changes in nuclear apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells were detected by Hoechst 33258 staining. The effect of different concentrations of Jingulian capsule on the apoptosis and cycle of MDA-MB-231 cells after different treatment time were determined by flow cytometry. The protein expression levels of Poly-ADP-ribose polymeras （PARP）， proto-oncogene c-Myc， cyclin B₁， and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase （p-ERK） in each group were assayed by Western blot. Result:A total of 113 compounds in Jingulian capsule were identified by UPLC-MS/MS. As revealed by MTT assay，compared with blank group，Jingulian capsule （0.125，0.25，0.5，1，2 g·L^-1） significantly inhibited viability of MDA-MB-231 cells （<italic>P</italic><0.01）， with the half maximal inhibitory concentration （ IC₅₀） of（0.13±0.02）g·L^-1. According to flow cytometry，compared with the blank group，Jingulian capsule at 1 g·L^-1 significantly induced the apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells （<italic>P</italic><0.05）and Jingulian capsule at 0.5， 1 g·L^-1 obviously increased the number of MDA-MB-231 cells in S phase （<italic>P</italic><0.05，<italic>P</italic><0.01）. The results of Western blotting demonstrated that the protein expression levels of PARP，c-Myc，and cyclin B₁ in 0.5， 1 g·L^-1Jingulian capsule groups were remarkably down-regulated as compared with those in the blank group（<italic>P</italic><0.01）， and the protein expression level of p-ERK in 1 g·L^-1Jingulian capsule group was also down-regulated （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. Conclusion:Jingulian capsule is able to inhibit the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells，induce S phase cell cycle arrest， and promote their apoptosis， which may be related to the inactivation of the MAPK signaling pathway.
