To investigate the effect of MDA-19 on progression of melanoma, and explore the relevant mechanism.
The melanoma cell lines, M14 and UACC257, were treated with different concentrations of MDA-19, then CCK8, clone formation assay, Transwell and flow cytometry assays were performed to examine cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis, respectively. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2, Bax and caspase 3 P17), EMT and signaling pathway-related proteins were also detected by Western blot.
MDA-19 inhibited melanoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. Compared to the NC group, MDA-19 significantly inhibited cell growth capacity, migration and invasion of M14 and UACC257 cells, and accelerated cell apoptosis in a mitochondrial pathway through regulating Bcl-2/Bax and Caspase 3 in M14 and UACC257 cells. Moreover, MDA-19 was observed to up-regulate the expression of E-cad and down-regulate the expression of N-cad, Vimentin and Slug in melanoma cells in vitro. Furthermore, MDA-19 could inhibit the PI3K/Akt pathway by blocking Akt phosphorylation (p-Akt) and downstream proteins, P70 and Cyclin D1 in M14 and UACC257 cells.
Our data demonstrate that MDA-19 could inhibit progression of melanoma by suppressing the PI3K/Akt pathway, suggesting that MDA-19 is a potential anti-cancer agent for therapy of melanoma.
研究MDA - 19对黑色素瘤进展的影响,并探讨相关机制。
用不同浓度的MDA - 19处理黑色素瘤细胞系M14和UACC257,然后分别进行CCK8、克隆形成试验、Transwell试验和流式细胞术检测,以检测细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭和凋亡情况。还通过蛋白质免疫印迹法检测凋亡相关蛋白(Bcl - 2、Bax和半胱天冬酶3 P17)、上皮 - 间质转化(EMT)和信号通路相关蛋白的表达。
MDA - 19以剂量依赖性方式抑制黑色素瘤细胞。与阴性对照组相比,MDA - 19显著抑制M14和UACC257细胞的生长能力、迁移和侵袭,并通过调节M14和UACC257细胞中的Bcl - 2/Bax和半胱天冬酶3,在线粒体途径中加速细胞凋亡。此外,在体外观察到MDA - 19上调黑色素瘤细胞中E - cad的表达,下调N - cad、波形蛋白和锌指蛋白Slug的表达。此外,MDA - 19可通过阻断M14和UACC257细胞中Akt磷酸化(p - Akt)及其下游蛋白P70和细胞周期蛋白D1来抑制PI3K/Akt信号通路。
我们的数据表明,MDA - 19可通过抑制PI3K/Akt信号通路来抑制黑色素瘤的进展,提示MDA - 19是一种治疗黑色素瘤的潜在抗癌药物。
