ABSTRACT
Aim To explore the effects of ophiopogo-nin-B (OP-B)on cell cycle and mitosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)H460 cells in vitro and the underlying mechanisms. Methods TUNEL immuno-histochemical assay was used to detect the change of the nuclear matter. DAPI staining was used to detect the change of the nuclear morphology and the mitosis status. Meanwhile,Western blot was performed to de-termine the protein level of the proteins regulating cell cycle and mitosis. Results OP-B significantly arres-ted cell cycle in G0 / G1 phase and inhibited the mitosis in H460 cells at the concentration of 10 μmol·L - 1 . Meanwhile,it inhibited the protein level of cyclinD1, cyclinB1,and up-regulated the expression of Myt and the phosphorylation level of Cdc2. Conclusion OP-B inhibits cell mitosis in A549 cells through Myt/ Cdc2 signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
Aim To explore the inhibitory effects of ophiopogonin-B (OP-B ) on cell adhesion,invasion and migration in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 cells in vitro and its possible mechanism.Meth-ods Cell adhesion assay and transwell chamber assay were used to detect the ability of cell adhesion,migra-tion and invasion.qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of MMP-2 and 9 .Meanwhile ,Western blot assay was performed to determine the protein levels of MMP-2/9 and p-Akt.Results OP-B significantly inhibited the ability of cell adhesion,invasion and mi-gration in A549 cells at the concentration of 10 μmol· L-1 (P<0.01 ).Meanwhile,it inhibited the mRNA and protein levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and down-regulated the phosphorylation of Akt (P <0.0 1 ). Conclusion OP-B inhibits cell adhesion,invasion and migration in A549 cells through down-regulation of the mRNA and protein expression of MMP-2/9 ,and the inhibitory effect on the expression of p-Akt.
