Effect of Wumeiwan-medicated Serum on Proliferation, Invasion, Migration, Apoptosis of Pancreatic Cancer Cells Based on PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway
To observe the effects of Wumeiwan-medicated serum on the proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis of human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells and explore the underlying mechanism.
Method
2
The Wumeiwan-medicated serum was prepared and the pancreatic cancer SW1990 cell line was cultured
in vitro
. The optimal time of Wumeiwan-medicated serum was selected for subsequent experiments by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8). SW1990 cells were divided into a control group and low- (2%), medium- (4%), and high-dose (8%) Wumeiwan-medicated serum groups. The colony-forming, migration, and invasion abilities were detected by clonogenic assay, wound healing assay, and transwell migration assay. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of Wumeiwan-medicated serum on the apoptosis of pancreatic cancer SW1900 cells. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins, such as B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), cytochrome C (Cyt C), cleaved cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-3 (cleaved Caspase-3), cleaved cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-9 (cleaved Caspase-9), as well as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K), phosphorylated PI3K(p-PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), and phosphorylated Akt(p-Akt)in PI3K/Akt pathway in SW1990 cells.
Result
2
Compared with blank group, Wumeiwan groups showed decreased absorbance (
A
) 72 h after drug intervention (
P
<
0.01). Compared with the low-dose group, the medium- and high-dose groups showed decreased
A
(
P
<
0.01). Compared with the medium-dose group, the high-dose group showed decreased
A
(
P
<
0.01). It indicates that Wumeiwan can inhibit SW1990 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner after 72 h, and the optimal action time is 72 h. Compared with the blank group, the Wumeiwan groups showed weakened invasion of SW1990 cells (
P
<
0.01), reduced colony-forming and migration abilities (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01) in a dose-dependent manner, and increased total apoptosis rates (
P
<
0.01). The inducing effect of Wumeiwan on apoptosis increased with the increase in dosage. Compared with the blank group, the Wumeiwan groups showed decreased protein expression of Bcl-2 (
P
<
0.01), increased protein expression of cleaved Caspase-3, cleaved Caspase-9, Cyt C, and Bax (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01) in a certain dose-effect relationship, reduced protein expression of p-PI3K and p-Akt (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01) with the increase in dosage, and declining p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01) with the increase in dosage.
Conclusion
2
Wumeiwan-medicated serum can significantly inhibit the malignant biological behaviors of pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells and induce apoptosis. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and down-regulation of protein phosphorylation level in the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
