The present study was aimed to investigate and understand the mechanism of inhibitory effect of phenyl benzoxime on proliferation of SNU-306 cells. Proliferation of SNU-306 cells transfected with wild-type p53-induced phosphatase 1 (Wip1)-siRNA or treated with phenyl benzoxime was examined by 3-(4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Induction of apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry using annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide staining. In SNU-306 cells Wip1 mRNA and protein expression was found to be significantly (p < 0.05) higher compared to normal cells. However, Wip1-siRNA transfection significantly (p < 0.02) inhibited the expression of Wip1 at 60 nmol/l. The proliferation of SNU-306 cells was inhibited to 3.7% on transfection with Wip1-siRNA. Phenyl benzoxime reduced proliferation to 92.0, 75.0, 49.0, 19.0 and 4.0% at 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10 μM doses, respectively. The expression of Wip1 was significantly (p < 0.01) suppressed in SNU-306 cells on phenyl benzoxime treatment. Phenyl benzoxime induced apoptosis in 74.73% cells at 10 μM doses compared to 1.34% in control. Treatment with phenyl benzoxime markedly increased the expression of Bax, caspase-3 and p53 and decreased Bcl-2 mRNA. Moreover, addition of SB203580 to cultures of SNU-306 cells significantly (p < 0.01) prevented phenyl benzoxime mediated inhibition of cell proliferation. Phenyl benzoxime induces apoptosis and inhibits SNU-306 cell proliferation by silencing Wip1 expression through p38 MAPK signaling pathway activation. Therefore, phenyl benzoxime can act as an important chemotherapeutic agent for breast cancer treatment.
本研究旨在探讨和了解苯并恶嗪抑制 SNU-306 细胞增殖的作用机制。通过 3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-2,5-二苯基四氮唑溴盐(MTT)试验检测转染野生型 p53 诱导的磷酸酶 1(Wip1)-siRNA 的 SNU-306 细胞或用苯并恶嗪处理后的细胞增殖情况。通过使用 Annexin V-荧光素异硫氰酸酯/碘化丙啶染色的流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡的诱导。结果显示,与正常细胞相比,SNU-306 细胞中的 Wip1 mRNA 和蛋白表达显著升高(p<0.05)。然而,Wip1-siRNA 转染可显著(p<0.02)抑制 60 nmol/L 时的 Wip1 表达。Wip1-siRNA 转染后 SNU-306 细胞的增殖抑制率为 3.7%。苯并恶嗪在 1、2、4、8 和 10 μM 剂量下分别使 SNU-306 细胞的增殖率降低至 92.0%、75.0%、49.0%、19.0%和 4.0%。苯并恶嗪处理可显著(p<0.01)抑制 SNU-306 细胞中 Wip1 的表达。与对照组的 1.34%相比,苯并恶嗪在 10 μM 剂量下诱导 74.73%的细胞凋亡。苯并恶嗪处理可明显增加 Bax、caspase-3 和 p53 的表达,降低 Bcl-2 mRNA 的表达。此外,向 SNU-306 细胞培养物中加入 SB203580 可显著(p<0.01)阻止苯并恶嗪介导的细胞增殖抑制。苯并恶嗪通过激活 p38 MAPK 信号通路抑制 Wip1 的表达诱导细胞凋亡和抑制 SNU-306 细胞增殖。因此,苯并恶嗪可以作为乳腺癌治疗的一种重要化疗药物。
