Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effects and underlying mechanisms of Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma extract on the proliferation， apoptosis， and autophagy of human colorectal cancer HCT-116 cells. MethodFirstly， cellular activity was detected by the cell proliferation and activity-8 （CCK-8） assay， and the half inhibition rate （IC50） was calculated. Blank group and Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma group （2， 4， 8 mg·L-1） were set. The effect of Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma on the proliferation of HCT-116 cells was observed by cloning experiments， and that of Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma on apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry. The expressions of autophagy-related proteins， p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p38 MAPK）， extracellular signal-regulated kinase （ERK）， c-Jun amino-terminal kinase （JNK）， phosphorylated （p）-p38， p-ERK， p-JNK， and other proteins were detected by Western blot. Finally， flow cytometry instrumentation and fluorescence microscopy were used to analyze the changes in reactive oxygen species （ROS）， and a ROS scavenger （NAC） was adopted for verification. ResultCompared with the blank group， the activity of HCT-116 cells was significantly decreased in the Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The apoptosis rate of HCT-116 cells in the Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma group was significantly increased （P<0.01）. The expression of autophagy-related protein ubiquitin-binding protein （p62） was decreased， but that of autophagy-specific genes （Beclin1） and autophagic microtubule-associated protein 1 light-chain 3B （LC3B） was enhanced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma group， the apoptosis rate of HCT-116 cells in the Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma + NAC group was significantly reduced （P<0.01）. The expression of related autophagy protein Beclin1 was significantly reduced （P<0.01）， and that of LC3B protein was reduced （P<0.01）. In addition， the expression of MAPK pathway-related proteins ERK and JNK was decreased in the Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma group （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and that of p-ERK and p-JNK was enhanced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionFagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma can inhibit the proliferation of HCT-116 cells and induce apoptosis and autophagy through the ROS/MAPK signaling pathway.
