Aim To explore the effect of ginsenoside Rg3 on the biological behavior of human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells by regulating E2F1.Methods MTT assay was used to determine the effect of ginsenoside Rg3(0,80,160,320 μmol·L-1)on cell prolifera-tion.The effects of different concentrations of ginsen-oside Rg3 on apoptosis were measured by flow cytome-try.The effects of different concentrations of ginsen-oside Rg3 on cell migration and invasion were deter-mined by scratch healing experiment and Transwell ex-periment.The effects of different concentrations of gin-senoside Rg3 on the expression of E2F1,MMP-2,MMP-9,BCL-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot.Results Compared with the blank control group,the cell survival rate of 80,160 and 320 μmol ·L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 group was significantly lower,and it was concentration-dependent(P<0.05).Com-pared with the blank control group,the apoptosis rate of 80,160 and 320 μmol·L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 group significantly increased in a concentration-dependent manner(P<0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the number of cell migration in 80,160 and 320 μmol·L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 groups was significantly lower in a concentration-dependent manner(P<0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the number of cell invasion in 80,160 and 320 μmol· L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 groups was significantly lower in a concentration-dependent manner(P<0.05).The E2F1 mRNA and E2F1 protein expression in the 80,160,and 320 μmol·L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 groups were significantly reduced in a concentration-dependent manner compared with that in the blank control group(P<0.05).The protein expression of MMP-2,MMP-9,and BCL-2 in the cells of 80,160,and 320 μmol ·L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 group significantly decreased compared with those of the blank control group,and BCL-2 significantly increased compared with that of the blank control group in a concentration-dependent man-ner(P<0.05).Conclusions Ginsenoside Rg3 can reduce the proliferation,inhibit the migration and inva-sion of gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells,and promote the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells in a concentration-depend-ent manner,and its mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of MMP-2,MMP-9,and BCL-2 ex-pression and up-regulation of Bax expression through E2F1.
