Abstract:
Objective:To observe the effects of isobavachalcone (IBC)on the proliferation and apoptosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca-8113 cells,and to explore their mechanisms. Methods:The Tca8113 cells cultured in vitro were divided into control group and different doses (0, 10, 20,40, 80 μmol · L-1 )of IBC groups.The inhibitory rates of cell proliferation were detected by MTT method.The apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.Western blotting method was used to detect the expressions of Akt,p-Akt,Erk,p-Erk,Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 proteins in the Tca8113 cells in various groups.Results:The MTT results showed that the inhibitory rates of proliferation of Tca8113 cells were increased in a concentration-and time-dependent manner;the IC50 at 12,24 and 48 h were (285.13±8.97), (132.40±7.76),and (58.56±5.93)μmol·L-1 ,respectively;and there were significant differences between different time points (P <0.05).The FCM results showed that the apoptotic rates of Tca8113 cells in 20 and 40 μmol·L-1 IBC groups at 48 h were (8.21 ±2.32)% and (22.45 ± 1.18)%, respectively; compared with control group (1.69% ± 0.65%), the differences were statistically significant (P <0.05).The Western blotting results showed that the expression levels of Bcl-2,p-Akt,and p-Erk, in 20 and 40 μmol·L-1 IBC groups were decreased and the expression levels of Bax were increased compared with control group (P < 0.05);the expression levels of Akt and Erk had no significant changes (P > 0.05 ).The expression levels of Caspase-3 in Tca8113 cells in 40 μmol·L-1 IBC group at 48 h were increased compared with control group (P <0.05).Conclusion:IBC could inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of Tca8113 cells;Akt and Erk signaling pathway may be the pathway of IBC to induce the apoptosis of tumor cells.
