Bufalin inhibits the growth and epithelial to mesenchymal transition of human gastric cancer cells via modulation of MEK/ERK pathway
This study was designed to evaluate the anti-cancer effects of bufalin against the human gastric cancer cells and unveil the underlying mechanism. The results showed that bufalin inhibited the proliferation and colony formation of the MGC-803 gastric cancer cells and exhibited an IC50 of 10 μM. These antiproliferative effects were found to be due to the induction of G2/M cell cycle arrest. The G2/M cell cycle arrest was also concomitant with inhibition of cdc2, cdc25 and cyclin B1. Furthermore, bufalin suppressed the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, migration, and invasion of the MGC-803 gastric cancer cells. The Western blot analysis revealed that bufalin exerted its effects via deactivation of EK/ERK signaling pathway. Taken together, these results suggest the potential of bufalin as the lead molecule for the development of chemotherapy for gastric cancer.
期刊介绍:
Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology (Bangladesh J Pharmacol) is an open access, video component, peer-reviewed journal of the Bangladesh Pharmacological Society (BDPS).
A scholarly publication is defined ''open access'' when there are no financial, legal or technical barriers to accessing it. Anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, print or use it in educational purpose within the legal agreements.
Peer review of a manuscript means the evaluation of research work by one or more people with similar competences. It can be open or blind. We do the single-blind peer review.
Our readers want to know the methodology used by the researchers which is very important to get the results. The video clip of one of the methodologies is prepared by the authors and submit it to publish.
