Effects of resveratrol on the expression of FAK and the level of phosphorylated FAK in highly metastatic ovarian carcinoma HO-8910PM cell line / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To study the effect of resveratrol on the expression of FAK and the level of phosphorylated FAK, and to investigate its possible mechanism of resveratrol on the metastasis-associated ability of human highly metastatic ovarian carcinoma HO-8910PM cells line. Methods MTT assay was used to examine cytotoxicity of resveratrol on HO-8910PM cells after 24 h treatment; The expression of FAK protein and the level of phosphorylated FAK were assessed by Western blotting analysis. Results MTT assay showed that resveratrol had weak cytotoxicity on HO-8910PM cells after 24 h treatment, its IC50 value was 163.40?2.48 ?mol?L-1. The expression of FAK and the level of phosphorylated FAK decreased obviously in HO-8910PM cells treated with 25~100 ?mol?L-1 resveratrol for 24 h. Conclusion The mechanism of resveratrol inhibiting the metastasis-associated ability of human highly metastatic ovarian carcinoma HO-8910PM cells line involves the expression of FAK and the level of phosphorylated FAK.
