摘要: 摘要: 目的 探讨人参皂苷 Rg3 对人乳腺癌 MCF-7 细胞体外血管生成拟态的抑制作用及其机制。方法 取 MCF-7 对数生长期细胞分为实验组和对照组, 实验组加入含有终浓度为 10、 20、 50、 100、 150 及 300 mg/L 的 Rg3 完 全培养基; 对照组加入含 DMSO 完全培养基。CCK-8 法分析 Rg3 对 MCF-7 细胞增殖的影响, 分析实验组各浓度下 的抑制率和 Rg3 半数抑制浓度 (IC50) 并确定实验浓度。体外管道形成抑制实验观察 Rg3 对 MCF-7 细胞血管生成拟 态的影响。实时荧光定量 PCR 法检测 Rg3 对细胞血管内皮生长因子-A(VEGF-A)和基质金属蛋白酶(MMP) 9 mRNA 的表达水平的影响。蛋白免疫印迹法检测 Rg3 对细胞低氧诱导因子 (HIF) -1α、 VEGF-A 和 MMP9 蛋白表达 的影响。双抗夹心酶联免疫法测定 Rg3 对细胞培养上清液中 VEGF-A 、 MMP9 蛋白表达的影响。结果 人参皂苷 Rg3 可以有效抑制 MCF-7 细胞增殖, 其平均 IC50为 (115.34±8.50) mg/L; 选取 50、 100 和 150 mg/L 的 Rg3 作为实验浓 度。50、 100 和 150 mg/L 组形成的管状结构数目分别为 (19.0±1.0)、(15.0±1.5)、(10.0±1.7) 个/视野, 呈逐渐降低趋势; 且均较对照组(22.0±1.8)减少(均 P < 0.05)。对照组、 50 mg/L 组、 100 mg/L 组及 150 mg/L 组细胞中的 VEGF-A 和 MMP9 的 mRNA 和蛋白表达水平、 HIF-1α 的蛋白表达水平均呈逐渐下降趋势 (P < 0.05)。对照组、 50 mg/L 组、 100 mg/ L 组及 150 mg/L 组细胞培养上清液中的 VEGF-A 蛋白呈逐渐下降趋势 (P < 0.05); 后 3 组的 MMP9 蛋白表达水平均呈 逐渐下降趋势 (P < 0.05), 但 50 mg/L 组与对照组的 MMP9 蛋白表达水平差异无统计学意义。结论 人参皂苷 Rg3 可以抑制 MCF-7细胞体外血管形成拟态的能力, 其分子机制可能与抑制 MCF-7细胞中 HIF-1α、 VEGF-A和 MMP9的蛋白表达有关

Abstract: Abstract: Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects and mechanism of ginsenoside Rg3 on vasculogenic mimicry of human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line. Methods The MCF-7 cells at logarithmic growth phase were obtained, and were cultured with different concentrations (0, 20, 50, 100, 150 and 300 mg/L) of ginsenoside Rg3. Cells cultured without Rg3 were served as controls. The IC50 were determined by CCK8 assay and anti-angiogenic effects were performed for testing the potential of tube-like structure (TLSs) formation. The expression levels of VEGF-A, MMP9 and HIF-1α were detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR. The secreted contents of VEGF-A and MMP9 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The ginsenoside Rg3 suppressed the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a dosedependent manner, in which IC50 was (115.34±8.50) mg/L. The formation numbers of TLSs in MCF-7 cells were significantly inhibited by Rg3 in concentration dependent manner in 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L and 150 mg/L for (19.0±1.0), (15.0±1.5), and (10.0±1.7) vs. controls (22.0±1.8, F=150.805, P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of VEGF-A, MMP9 and HIF-1α protein were inhibited by 50 mg/L,100 mg/L and 150 mg/L Rg3 vs. controls (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the contents of VEGF-A in MCF-7 cell supernatant was down-regulated by 50 mg/L,100 mg/L and 150 mg/L Rg3 vs. controls (P < 0.05). The contents of MMP-9 in MCF-7 cell supernatant was down-regulated by 100 mg/L and 150 mg/L Rg3 vs. controls (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in MMP- 9 expression between 50 mg/L group and control group. Conclusion The ginsenoside Rg3 is able to inhibit the vasculogenic mimicry of MCF- 7 cells, which may be related with the down-regulation of VEGF-A, MMP9 and HIF-1α.
