- Abstract: Aim To study the effects of curcumin de-rivative C0818 on the migration,apoptosis and prolifer-ation of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)cells.Methods MTT assay and CFSE were used to detect the inhibitory effect of C0818 on the proliferation of NSCLC cells NCI-H1299 and NCI-H460 in vitro.Flow cytometry was used to detect mitochondrial reactive ox-ygen species(ROS),the mitochondrial membrane po-tential(MMP),cell apoptosis,and the cell cycle.The Transwell chamber assay and scratch wound healing as-say were used to detect the effect of C0818 on the mi-gration ability of NSCLC cells.Western blot was used to detect the expression of apoptosis and migration-re-lated proteins.Results C0818 inhibited the prolifera-tion of NCI-H1299 and NCI-H460 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner,and arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase.C0818 disrupted the MMP.With the increase of the concentration of C0818(0.4-1.6μmol·L-1),the apoptosis rate of cells increased sig-nificantly,accompanied by the up-regulation of pro-ap-optotic proteins Bax,cleaved PARP,and cleaved caspase-3/8,and the down-regulation of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2.C0818 inhibited the migration ability of NSCLC cells and could inhibit the expression of pro-teins related to invasion and metastasis,such as N-cad-herin,β-catenin,and Vimentin.Conclusions The curcumin derivative C0818 induces caspase-mediated and ROS-dependent apoptosis,inhibits cell prolifera-tion,and has a strong anti-metastatic ability in vitro.
