Abstract
Objective
To investigate the stimulatory effect of epinephrine(Epi) and the antagonistic effect of Chrysanthemum indicum Linné extracts (CILE) on Epi-induced growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) cells.
Methods
The stimulatory effect of Epi and inhibitory effect of CILE on the growth of HepG2 and MHCC97H cells were investigated using a proliferation assay in correlation with β adrenergic receptor(β2-AR) blockade, a MEK1/MEK2 inhibitor, and assessment of MAPK/ERK½ intracellular activity.
Results
Epi transiently activated MAPK/ERK½ in HepG2 and MHCC97H cells, resulting in a burst of growth. The effect of Epi was significantly attenuated by ICI 118551 and U0126. CILE exhibited a dose-dependent attenuation of the stimulatory effect of Epi on the growth of both cell lines and inhibited the Epi-induced activation of MAPK/ERK½.
Conclusion
Epi, mimicking a mitogen, stimulated the growth of HepG2 and MHCC97H cells, and CILE was effective in attenuating this effect of Epi on tumor cells by inhibiting the β2-AR-mediated activation of MAPK/ERK½.
