Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of Huaier polysaccharides on proliferation,apoptosis,and angiogenesis in A549 cells by regulating the Sonic hedgehog-Gli family zinc finger 1(Shh-Gli1)signaling pathway.Methods A549 cells were divided into control group(normal culture)and low,medium,high dose experimental groups(2,5,and 10 μg·mL-1 Huaier polysaccharides).After 24 h of treatment,cell proliferation level was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay,cell apoptosis level was detected by flow cytometry,cysteine aspartic acid specific protease-3(caspase-3)enzyme activity in cells was detected by colorimetric assay,and the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2),Shh and Gli1 proteins in cells were detected by Western blot.Results The cell survival rates of control group and low,medium,high dose experimental groups were 100.00％,(73.13±3.86)％,(47.97±6.12)％and(30.73±6.67)％,respectively;cell apoptosis rates were(0.72±0.04)％,(19.21±1.27)％,(29.48±0.92)％and(46.29±2.81)％,respectively;caspase-3 enzyme activity in cells were 1.00,1.33±0.08,1.71±0.09 and 2.28±0.14,respectively;the relative expression levels of VEGF protein in cells were 1.17±0.04,0.95±0.08,0.39±0.04 and 0.11±0.03,respectively;the relative expression levels of VEGFR2 protein in cells were 0.99±0.04,0.80±0.03,0.29±0.03 and 0.24±0.03,respectively;the relative expression levels of Gli1 protein in cells were 1.22±0.04,1.07±0.04,0.60±0.04 and 0.41±0.05,respectively.There were statistical significance of above indicators between control group and low,medium,high dose experimental groups(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Huaier polysaccharides can inhibit proliferation and angiogenesis of A549 cells and promote apoptosis by regulating the Shh-Gli1 signaling pathway.
