ABSTRACT
Aim: To screen BRAFV600E CT26 cell inhibitors from monomers of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Methods CT26 cell line was constructed with lentivirus plasmid to stably express BRAFV6C0E. The proliferation, migration and expression of related proteins in MEK/ERK signaling pathway were detected. The monomers of TCM were detected for biological activities as potential BRAF inhibitors by Discovery Studio 4. 0, and further evaluated by MTT assay. Results: The proliferation and migration of BRAFV6C0E CT26 cells were obviously strengthened compared with wild type control. The expressions of proteins in MEK/ ERK pathway were also activated in BRAFV6C0E CT26 cells. Compared with wild type control, Aloin, Angoroside C and Cyasterone exhibited the potent effect against BRAFV600E in CT26 cells (P <0. 05), and could down-regulate the expression of BRAFV600E. Conclusion: Aloin, Angoroside C, Cyasterone might be the potent inhibitors against BRAF for colon treatment.
