ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To study the effects and potential mechani sm of deoxyschizandrin on the proliferation ，migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell HONE- 1. METHODS ：HONE-1 cell was set as cell model ，while CCK- 8 test，wound healing assay and Transwell chamber test were used to detect the proliferation ，migration and invasion ability changes of HONE- 1 cells after treatment with different concentrations [ 0（blank control ），10，20，40 μmol/L] of deoxyschizandrin. Computer molecular docking was performed to analyze the binding ability between deoxyschizandrin and Met protein. Western blotting assay was used to detect the relative protein expressions of p-Met ，p-PI3K，p-Akt，Bcl-2 and N-cadherin in cells. RESULTS ：Compared with blank control ，the proliferation ，migration and invasion ability of cells after treated with 10，20，40 μmol/L deoxyschizandrin were all decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Results of molecular docking revealed that deoxyschizandrin could stably bind with the activity pocket of Met protein. Results of Western blotting assay demonstrated that compared with blank control ，10，20，40 μmol/L deoxyschizandrin all decreased the relative protein expressions of p-Met ，p-PI3K，p-Akt，Bcl-2 and N-cadherin in cells significantly（P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：Deoxyschizandrin can inhibit the proliferation ，migration and invasion of HONE- 1 cell via inhibiting the activation of Met/PI 3K/Akt signaling pathway.
