Abstract:
AIM:To investigate the effect of genistein on the proliferation of human oral cancer TCA 8113 cells and to explore the underlying mechanisms .METHODS:The cell proliferation was examined by MTT assay , cell counting and colony formation assay .Western blotting was employed to examine the protein levels of vascular endothelial growth fac -tor (VEGF), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p-ERK.RESULTS: Genistein significantly inhibited the proliferation of TCA8113 cells in a concentration-dependent fashion .Moreover , genistein dose-dependently decreased the protein levels of VEGF, ERK and p-ERK.The expression of VEGF was also blunted by U 0126, a specific inhibitor of ERK.U0126 and axitinib, a VEGF receptor antagonist , both significantly inhibited the proliferation of TCA 8113 cells. CONCLUSION:Genistein inhibits the proliferation of TCA8113 cells, which may be related to its inhibitory effect on ERK expression and activation , thus subsequently decreasing the expression of VEGF .
