ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the molecular mechanism of cantharidin(CTD) in inducing morphological changes and dissociation in human colon cancer HCT116 cells, in order to study the correlation with tumor metastasis and provide a new basis for clinical use of cantharidin.Method:
Different concentrations of CTD (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20 μmol·L-1) were added to each hole to culture for 7 to 10 days, so as to determine the inhibitory effect of CTD on HCT116 cells; and changes of F-actin cytoskeleton and integrin in HCT116 cells were detected by immunofluorescence staining. Western blot analysis of protein expressions of RhoA,RhoB,RhoC,Cdc42 and Rac1/2/3 of Rho family were performed before and after cantharidin treatment. overexpression of RhoA was constructed by plasmid transient transfection, and effect of 10 μmol·L-1 cantharidin on the morphology and adhesion of overexpressing cells was also observed.Result:
Cantharidin induced cytoskeletal remodeling and decreased integrin content in HCT116 colon cancer cells. RhoA protein was a member of Rho enzyme family with the greatest variation after cantharidin action. The proportion of transfected RhoA cells with green fluorescence was about 60%, the expression of RhoA protein in constructed RhoA overexpression cells was significantly increased, compared with wild-type HCT116 cells (PPConclusion:
Cantharidin can inhibit the expression of RhoA protein, induce the morphological changes of HCT116 cells and weaken the adhesion to the basement, thereby inhibiting cell migration.
