In the following work, we investigated the effect of matcha green tea extract (MTE) on MCF-7 breast cancer cell viability and estrogen receptor-beta expression (ERβ).
MCF-7 cells were stimulated with MTE at concentrations of 5 and 10 µg/ml. Cell viability was assessed using a water-soluble tetrazolium assay (WST-1 assay) after an incubation time of 72 h. ERβ was quantified at gene level by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A western blot (WB) was carried out for the qualitative assessment of the expression behavior of on a protein level.
The WST-1 test showed a significant inhibition of viability in MFC-7 cells after 72 h at 10 µg/ml. The WB demonstrated a significant quantitative decrease of ERβ at protein level with MTE concentrations of 10 µg/ml. In contrast, the PCR did not result in significant downregulation of ERβ.
MTE decreases the cell viability of MCF-7 cells and furthermore leads to a decrease of ERβ at protein level.
在本项工作中,我们研究了抹茶绿茶提取物(MTE)对 MCF-7 乳腺癌细胞活力和雌激素受体-β表达(ERβ)的影响。
MCF-7 细胞用浓度为 5 和 10 μg/ml 的 MTE 刺激。孵育 72 h 后,通过水溶性四唑盐(WST-1 测定)评估细胞活力。实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)用于在基因水平上定量 ERβ。进行蛋白质印迹(WB)以定性评估表达行为。
WST-1 试验显示,在 10 μg/ml 时,MCF-7 细胞在 72 h 后活力显著抑制。WB 显示,用 10 μg/ml 的 MTE 处理后,ERβ 的蛋白水平显著减少。相比之下,PCR 并未导致 ERβ 的显著下调。
MTE 降低 MCF-7 细胞的活力,并进一步导致 ERβ 蛋白水平的降低。
