Effect of ST2325 on cell cycle in erbB2-overexpressing breast cancer MDA-MB-453m1 cells and its mechanism / 中国癌症杂志

ABSTRACT

Purpose：Effect of ST2325 on cell cycle in erbB2-overexpressing MDA-MB-453m1 cells and its mechanism was investigated.Methods：Cell cycle distribution was examined using flow cytometry. The protein expression was detected with Western blot analysis.Results：Under concentrations of 0,6.25,12.5,25.0,50.0,100 μmol/L，the percentrages of G0/G1 in MDA-MB-453m1 were 48.62%, 48.83%, 49.59%, 52.18%, 61.0%,83.96%; the percentages of S were 33.34%, 33.16%, 32.78%,30.77%,25.62%,7.08%;the percentages of G2M were 18.04%, 18.01%,17.63%,17.05%,13.38%,8.96%.After MDA-MB-453m1 cells were treated with different concentrations of ST2325 for 24 hours, Western blot assay showed up-regulation of p27 protein expression and decrease of hyperphosphorylated Rb and cyclin D1 protein expression .Activation of MAPK and AKT in MDA-MB-453m1 was markedly inhibited by ST2325.Conclusions：ST2325 induces G1 arrest in erbB2-overexpressing MDA-MB-453m1 cancer cells. G1 arrest is associated with p27 upregulation,decrease of cyclinD1 protein and hyperphosphorylated Rb.
