ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Draconis Sanguis petroleum ether fraction (DSPEF) on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and autophagy of human gastric cancer HGC-27 and MGC-803 cells, and preliminarily elucidate its molecular mechanism. MethodCell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to detect the effect of DSPEF at different concentrations (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 mg·L-1) on the proliferation of HGC-27 and MGC-803 cells after 24, 48, 72 h. Hoechst staining and flow cytometry were used to explore the effects of DSPEF at different concentrations on the apoptosis and apoptosis rate of HGC-27 and MGC-803 cells after 48 h treatment, respectively. The wound healing assay and acridine orange staining were used to investigate the effects of DSPEF on the migration and autophagy of HGC-27 and MGC-803 cells, respectively. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of signaling pathway-related proteins in HGC-27 and MGC-803 cells treated with DSPEF for 48 h. ResultCompared with the control group, DSPEF(30 mg·L-1) inhibited the proliferation and migration of HGC-27 and MGC-803 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner (P<0.05), and induced the apoptosis (P<0.01) and autophagy of HGC-27 and MGC-803 cells. DSPEF (60 mg·L-1) down-regulated the protein levels of phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR) (P<0.05, P<0.01) and down-regulated phospho-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) in HGC-27 and MGC-803 cells (P<0.01), suggesting that DSPEF presumedly inhibited the proliferation and migration of human gastric cancer HGC-27 and MGC-803 cells and induced their apoptosis and autophagy by inhibiting the mTOR/STAT3 signaling pathway. ConclusionThe down-regulation of the mTOR/STAT3 signaling pathway may be involved in the anti-gastric cancer effect of DSPEF. This study is expected to provide a reference for the investigation of the anti-tumor effect of Draconis Sanguis.
