ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro antiproliferative activity of ethanolic extract of leaves and fruits Citrus paradisi plant on HepG-2 liver cell lines by MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2Hterazolium bromide) assay and to isolate and characterize the antiproliferative compounds by TLC (Thin layer chromatography) and FT-IR (Fourier transforms Infrared) spectroscopy. Qualitative phytochemical screening tests were performed to detect phytochemicals compounds from the crude extracts. Antioxidant activity of the plant extracts were characterized by using DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging method. The results showed that antioxidant activity using DPPH were found to be increased in a concentration dependent manner and decreased cell viability and cell growth inhibition in a dose dependent manner. The findings from this study indicated that fruit extract exhibited good antiproliferation and antioxidant potential. The seven functional groups of phytocompounds such as carboxylic acid, amine salt, aromatic compounds, cyclic alkene, aldehyde, fluoro compounds and alkene were detected by FT-IR which indicated that fruit extracts of Citrus paradisi possessed vast potential as a medicinal drug especially in liver cancer treatment.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of pulsed electric field (PEF) combined with low temperature plasma (LTP) on mouse liver cancer cell.Methods:H22 mouse liver cancer cells were divided into liver cancer group, PEF treatment group, LTP treatment group, combined group A (first PEF treatment immediately after LTP treatment), combined group B (first LTP treatment immediately after PEF treatment), combined group C (same as combined group A, but 20 minutes interval) and combined group D (same as combined group B, but 20 minutes interval). Cell viability was detected by cell counting, apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, intracellular reative oxygen species (ROS) was marked by fluorescence and counted. Twenty healthy female Kunming mouse aged 4-6 weeks without specific pathogens were subcutaneous injected with liver cancer cells, and then were randomly divided into model group, PBS control group, PEF experimental group, LTP experimental group and combined group (LTP+ PEF, no interval) ( n=4). Tumor relative volume and tumor inhibition rate were measured. Results:The survival rates were liver cancer cell group (98.3±0.9)%, PEF treatment group (66.8±4.4)%, LTP treatment group (62.1±3.9)%, combined group A (43.7±3.7)%, combined group B (31.0±1.4)%, combined group C (46.8±2.9)%, combined group D (39.0±2.3)%. Compared with liver cancer cell group, the cell survival rate of all treatment groups was decreased, and the cell survival rate of the four combined treatment group was lower than that of PEF treatment group and LTP treatment group, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The survival rate of combined B group was the lowest. The results of apoptosis detection were consistent with those of cell survival rate. Under fluorescence microscope, the ROS fluorescence of cells in the combined group B was significantly increased, and the ROS fluorescence of cells in the LTP treatment group was more than that in the PEF treatment group, and the percentage of ROS positive cells in the combined group B was higher than that in the LTP treatment group and the PEF treatment group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Tumor relative volume and tumor inhibition rate in the combined group were better than those in the PEF and LTP groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:LTP combined with PEF has a better killing effect on H22 cells than PEF or LTP treatment, which is expected to be a new tumor therapy.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the effect of Clerodendrum bungei-containing serum on liver cancer MHCC97-H cells and its possible mechanism from the perspective of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase (Akt) signaling pathway. Method: The medicinal serum of 15% C. bungei was used to treat MHCC97-H cells. The effect of serum containing C. bungei on cell proliferation was observed by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) method, in order to select the best time and concentration. The apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining method. Western blot was used to detect the posphatase and tensin homologous gene deleted from chromosome 10 in key proteins (PTEN), phosphoprotein kinase B (p-Akt) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-related protein expression of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Real-time PCR was used to detect C. bungei-containing serum on cells for 72 h after activation of nuclear factor-activated B cell kappa light chain(NF-κB) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) mRNA expression. Result: The results of CCK-8 showed an inhibitory effect of the C. bungei-containing serum on the proliferation of tumor cells in a dose and time-dependent manner. Among them, the high-dose group had the most obvious inhibitory effect, and the maximum inhibition rates at 24, 48,72 h were 28%, 32%, and 43%, respectively. The results of flow cytometry showed that with the increase of drug-containing serum concentration, the cell growth was observed. The inhibition rate of cells was increased to different degrees, and the inhibition effect was significantly increased in the 72 h intervention group (PC. bungei-containing serum group was 19.48% and 19.72%, compared with the blank group. The difference was significant (PC. bungei-containing serum (PPC. bungei-containing serum could down-regulate the expression of NF-κB and up-regulate the expression of TNF-α mRNA (PConclusion: The medicinal serum of C. bungei can effectively inhibit the proliferation of MHCC97-H hepatoma cells and promote its apoptosis, which may be related to the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and its key factors.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To analyze the effect of human placental extracts (HPEx) on hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro. Methods: The hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines, namely, HLE and Huh-7, were used. The cells were subjected to a growth assay using the formazan dye method; the effect of combination treatment with sorafenib and HPEx was also assessed. The preventing normal cell damage effect of HPEx was analyzed by virtual therapy where possible; the experimental protocol was constructed on the basis of pre- and post-sorafenib treatment data. Cytotoxicity was measured by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. Results: HPEx caused significant dose-dependent suppression in the growth of HLE and Huh-7 cells. These tumor cells were significantly suppressed by combination treatment with HPEx and sorafenib. In addition, HPEx potentiated sorafenib sensitivity against tumor cells, and significantly prevented sorafenib-induced cytotoxicity in primary cultured rat hepatocytes under all designed experimental conditions. Specifically, pre-treatment with HPEx had a greater effect than post-treatment with HPEx. Conclusion: HPEx suppresses tumor cell growth, potentiates sorafenib efficacy, and has a preventing normal cell damage effect; this triple functionality of HPEx makes it a useful agent for liver cancer therapy.

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:Low intensity ultrasound (LIUS) can kill cancer cells and promote their apoptosis. However, it is still unknown how it affects the migration and invasion of tumor cells. This study aimed to explore the effect of LIUS on human hepatocellular line MHCC97H in migration and metastasis and the possible mechanismin vitro.Methods:According to the intensity of ultrasonic irradiation, 4 experimental groups were established: control group (0 W/cm2), 0.5 W/cm2, 1.0 W/cm2 and 1.5 W/cm2group. The migration and invasion ability of hepatocellular cells was detected by scratch assay and Transwell migration and invasion assay after the irradiation of LIUS. The changes of cytoskeleton after irradiation were observed by microscope and F-actin green lfuorescence staining. The expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were examined by real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) and Western blot.Results:Low intensity ultrasound (≤1.5 W/cm2) promoted the migration and invasion of hepatocellular line MHCC97H. Scratch assay and Transwell assay showed much more cells under irradiation migrated through membrane than untreated. It was found that morphology of liver cancer cells changed after LIUS irradiation using optical microscope and lfuorescence microscope. The results of RTFQ-PCR and Western blot showed upregulation of MMP-2 expression by LIUS in MHCC97H and high expression of MMP-9 mRNA. Conclusion:Low intensity ultrasound may promote the migration and invasion of MHCC97H through changing cytoskeleton and upregulating protein expression of MMP-2.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate whether tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) enhance the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in hepatic cancer cell line HepG2 or not. Methods Cultured HepG2 cells were treated by TNF-? with various concentration and time. The morphological changes of HepG2 cells were studied microscopically and the proliferation of HepG2 were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). The expression of VEGF and MMP-9 mRNA in cultured HepG2 were determined by relative quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The VEGF and MMP-9 protein level in supernatants and in cytoplasm were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and by immunocytochemical staining, respectively.Results There was a little morphological changes in HepG2 with TNF-? treatment, but no change of cell proliferation in corresponding time. The expression of VEGF and MMP-9 mRNA was enhanced gradually with the TNF-? concentration increasing, the VEGF and MMP-9 protein level in supernatants and in cytoplasm was elevated gradually with the concentration increasing. There was a dependance on the concentration when the concentration of TNF-? was lower than or equal to 10~4 U/L. Furthermore, the effect of promotion was close to peak when the TNF-? concentration up to 10~4 U/L; but no time-effect pattern observed. Conclusion TNF-? can enhance the expression of VEGF and MMP-9 at the level of mRNA and protein in hepatic cancer cell line.
