Objective To investigate whether baicalein inhibits the proliferation, cell cycle of and pseudopod formation in A431, a skin squamous cell carcinoma cell line, by suppressing the expression of ezrin protein. Methods A431 cells were grouped to be transfected with ezrin-targeting siRNA (siRNA group), treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L, respectively (baicalein group), or remain untreated (control group). After additional culture, wound healing assay and Transwell assay were performed to observe the migration and invasion of A431 cells, RT-PCR to detect the mRNA expression of ezrin in A431 cells, Western blot and immunoflu-orescence to measure the expression of ezrin protein and its phosphorylation. The pseudopod formation in A431 cells was observed by using scanning electron microscopy. Results After 24-hour culture, wound healing assay displayed that the percent wound closure was 13.3 ± 1.7, 7.6 ±1.6 and 5.9 ± 1.3, respectively, in A431 cells treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20μmol/L, significantly lower than that in untreated A431 cells (16.3 ± 2.3, all P < 0.01), and the inhibition of baicalein on the migration of A431 cells was concentration-dependent. In the Transwell assay, a significant decrease was observed in the number of A431 cells per high power field permeating through the artificial basement membrane in the groups treated with baicalein of 5, 10, 20 μmol/L for 48 hours compared with the control group (46.5 ± 3.8, 34.3 ± 3.4, 25.3 ± 2.3 vs 56.3 ± 3.8, all P < 0.01), whereas no significant difference was noted between these baicalein-treated groups and siRNA-transfected group (28.3 ± 2.1, all P > 0.05). RT-PCR analysis showed that the mRNA expression of ezrin in baicalein-treated A431 cells significantly decreased compared with that in untreated cells (all P< 0.01), but showed no difference from that in siRNA group (P > 0.05). A statistical difference was also observed in the expression of ezrin and phosphorylated ezrin protein between baicalein-treated A431 cells and untreated cells (all P< 0.05), but not between 40 μmol/L baicalein-treated A431 cells and siRNA-transfected cells (P> 0.05). Furthermore, the suppression of baicalein on ezrin protein and mRNA expression was concentration dependent. The number of pseudopod per cell was significantly lower in 20 μmol/L baicalein-treated A431 cells and siRNA-transfected cells than that in untreated A431 cells (5.3 ± 1.9, 4.5 ± 2.8 vs 22.6 ± 2.8, both P < 0.01), while no significant difference was observed between the former two groups of cells (P > 0.05); the length of pseudopodia also reduced in baicalein-treated cells. Conclusions Baicalein may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of A431 cells by directly or indirectly suppressing the expression of ezrin and phosphorylated ezrin, which in turn contributes to the effect of baicalein against tumor proliferation and metastasis.

Objective To establish the model of distraction osteogenesis for rabbit femur bone defect, and to observe the effect of icariin on regenerate ossification after distraction osteogenesis, thus to find a method for promoting regenerate ossification after distraction osteogenesis. Methods After the rabbit model of bone defect had been established successfully, the rabbits were equipped with distraction device. And then the 24 modeled rab bits were randomly divided into 2 groups. The experimental group was injected with icariin extract of Herba Epimedii into the interspace of bone distraction, and the control group was given local injection of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2, 100μg/kg) . On week 0, 1, 4 and 6 after the resting period, X-ray photography was carried out in both groups. On week 6 after distraction osteogenesis, the bone specimens of distraction osteogenesis region in both groups were observed by micro-computerized tomography ( CT) for the comparison of bone mass, and bone mineral content and mineral density of the newly-formed bone. Results The results of the features of imageology, and the statistical data of the bone mineral content and density showed that osteogenesis speed and osteogenic quality of the experimental group were superior to those of the control group. Conclusion The rabbit model of distraction osteogenesis for femur bone defect has been established preliminarily, and icariin can promote the speed and quality of regenerate ossification after distraction osteogenesis.
