The most commonly mutated gene in OSCC is the tumor suppressor gene p53 (TP53), linked to lower survival and treatment resistance in OSCC patients. Astilbin is a flavonoid amongst several herbal treatments with a variety of pharmacological actions mainly including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer characteristics. This study evaluated the effects of astilbin on proliferation of OSCC cell lines SCC90 and SCC4 (bearing a p53 mutation) in relevance to p53 and Mdm-2 pathways. Astilbin inhibited the proliferation of SCC4 and SCC90 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The IC50 values for both the cell lines were about 75 μM for astilbin. A p53 activator (RITA) was used to determine the effects of astilbin on p53 activity, and the results demonstrated synergistic reduction in cell growth. However, when combined with pifithrin-α (a p53 inhibitor), astilbin demonstrated a strong inhibition of its response. Astilbin reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential in SCC4 cells, which is a sign of apoptotic activity. Astilbin decreased the amounts of Mdm-2 (negative regulator of p53) and increased the expression of the p53 gene and protein. In a p53-dependent manner, astilbin suppressed the ability of SCC4 cells to form colonies and heal wounds. This was followed by the induction of mitochondrial intrinsic apoptosis via the activation of caspases 9 and 3, cleavage of PARP, and the suppression of pro-apoptotic Bid. Astilbin-induced p53-mediated apoptosis in OSCC cells as herbal medicinal ingredients.</p>","PeriodicalId":529,"journal":{"name":"Doklady Biochemistry and Biophysics","volume":"518 1","pages":"429 - 441"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142078698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
