Molecular mechanism of a Matijin-su derivative for inhibiting proliferation, invasion and migration of prostate cancer cells / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the effects of HXL130 on the proliferation, invasion and migration of prostate cancer PC3 cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods MTT assay was used to detect the effect of HXL130 on the proliferation of prostate cancer PC3 cells. Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects on apoptosis and cell cycle of cancer cells. Transwell was used to detect the effects of compounds on the invasion and migration of cancer cells. Proteomic sequencing was employed to detect differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) induced by compound treatment of cancer cells. Bioinformatics was used to analyze the functions of DEPs and the related signaling pathways regulated by DEPs, and Western blot was used to verify the result. Results The survival rate of PC3 cells decreased with the increase of HXL130 concentration and treatment time. HXL130 could significantly induce cell apoptosis and block G
