Objective To observe the anti‐metastatic effect and mechanism of baicalin on the growth of HeLa cells was measured by MTT assay ,and cell migration baicalin on human cervical cancer HeLa cells .Methods The effects of baicalin on the proliferation and invasion of HeLa cells were analyzed by MTT method and Transwell assay .Moreover ,Real‐time PCR was used for investigating the expressions of MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 at the RNA level .Western blot was used for investigating the expressions of MMP‐2 ,MMP‐9 ,P38 and p‐P38 at the protein level .Results Baicalin could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells in the dose‐dependent manner at the concentration above 60 μg/mL . Anti‐metastatic signaling induced by baicalin was characterized by down‐regulating the RNA and protein expressions of MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 ,and down‐regulating the phosphorylation level of P38 . Pre‐treatment of P38 signal pathway inhibitor could enhance the inhibitory effect of baicalin on the expressions of MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 .Conclusion These results indicate that baicalin‐induced anti‐metastatic effect involves the inhibition of MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 in HeLa cells through P38 signal pathway .
Résumé
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protection of aucubin on keratinocyte damaged by Ultraviolet B and explore its possible mechanism. METHODS: The photo damage model of keratinocyte was established by irradiating of UVB (64 mJ · cm-1). The different concentration aucubin were used for damaged cell. The cell viability was detected by MTT, the SOD activity, GSH-Px activity, CAT activity, MDA content were assayed by kit respectively. The mRNA levels of P38, TNF-α and IL-6 were determined by RT-PCR. The secretion levels of TNF-α and IL-6 of cultured keratinocyte were detected by ELISA. RESULTS: After the UVB irradiation, the cell viability, the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT were decreased, the content of MDA, TNF-α and IL-6, the mRNA levels of P38, TNF-α and IL-6 were increased (P < 0.01). The above changes were inhibited by 1 × 10-1 and 1 × 10-1 mol · L-1 aucubin (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The aucubin could inhibit the injury by UVB for keratinocyte. And its possible mechanism may have relationship with the inhibition of oxidative damage, regulatory P38 signal pathway, adjusting the expression of TNF-α and IL-6.
