China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2015;40(6):1144-1150
OBJECTIVETo study the effect of nadroparin in the migration of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and its action mechanism.
METHODThe MTT test was adopted to observe the effect of different concentrations of naringenin on the growth capacity of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Wound healing and transwell experiment analysis were conducted to detect the effect of naringenin on the migration of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Western blotting was adopted to investigate the effect of naringenin on protein expressions of MDA-MB-231 cell Integrin β3, β1 and matrix metalloproteinase MMP-2 and MMP-9. The computer virtual docking technique was used to evaluate the combining capacity of naringenin and Integrin β3 in vitro.
RESULTNaringenin inhibited the migration of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In wound healing and transwell experiments, with the increase in the concentration of naringenin, the number of migrant MDA-MB-231 cells and the invasion capacity of breast cancer cells decreased. Naringenin could inhibit the protein expression of Integrin β3 in a dose-dependent manner, but with unobvious effect on expression of Integrin β1. Besides, naringenin could significantly inhibit the protein expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9. The results of the computer virtual docking showed a negative value in the combining capacity between naringenin and Integrin β3, indicating the high affinity between them.
CONCLUSIONNaringenin can inhibit the growth capacity of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and block the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Its mechanism is to down-regulate MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions after combining with Integrin β3.

This study was aimed to observe the effect of emodin on cisplatin-induced renal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E) injury,in order to explore its possible molecular mechanisms.Firstly,effects of emodin on cisplatin-induced morphological changes in NRK-52E cells were observed.Secondly,the apoptosis-related protein expression of Caspase-3 and cleaved Caspase-3 were detected after the treatment of cisplatin alone or cisplatin together with emodin by western blot.Then,the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) Ⅱ/Ⅰ was detected after the treatment of emodin or rapamycin at different time points by western blot.Changes of pmRFP-LC3 fluorescent particles were observed by fluorescence microscopy.And effects of rapamycin on cellular morphological changes were observed in the environment of cisplatin.Finally,effects of emodin on the activation of AMPK and mTOR signal pathway were further observed,which is considered as the upstream of autophagy signaling pathway.The results showed that cisplatin can induce morphological changes in NRK-52E cell,which was obviously ameliorated by the intervention of emodin.Additionally,the increased protein expression of cleaved Caspase-3 induced by cisplatin was obviously reduced after the intervention of emodin.The LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ ratio was significantly increased after the treatment of emodin or rapamycin at different time points.Rapamycin can significantly ameliorate NRK-52E cell apoptosis induced by cisplatin.Simultaneously,the number of pmRFP-LC3 fluorescent particles increased after the treatment of emodin.As the extension of time by intervention of emodin,the protein expression of p-mTOR was significantly reduced.In contrast,the protein expression of p-AMPK was significantly increased.It was concluded that emodin can ameliorate cisplatininduced apoptosis in NRK-52E cells.Its potential mechanism may be attributed to the activation of autophagy by regulating AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.And thus,it played a role in renal protective effects.
