Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the effects of baicalein (BAI) on the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells and the mechanisms. METHODS: After MGC-803 cells were treated with BAI at different concentrations, the viability of the MGC-803 cells was tested by MTT assay. The cell colony formation ability were detected by plate colony formation assay. Wound-healing and Transwell cell migration assays were used to test the migration ability of the MGC-803 cells. The concentration of 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) was measured by ELISA. The protein levels of platelet type 12-lipoxygenase (p12-LOX), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), p-ezrin and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers in MGC-803 cells were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: BAI significantly inhibited the proliferation, plate colony formation and migration abilities of the MGC-803 cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01), down-regulated the concentration of p12-LOX metabolite 12-HETE significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01), decreased the protein levels of p12-LOX, VEGF, p-ezrin, vimentin and Snail (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and increased the protein expression of E-cadherin (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: BAI suppresses the proliferation and migration abilities of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells effectively. These effects of BAI may be related to regulating the protein levels of p12-LOX, VEGF, p-ezrin and EMT-related proteins. |
