Effect of Polyphyllin Ⅰ on Apoptosis and Protein Expressions of Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in Colorectal Cancer Cell HCT116
Objective: To observe the effect of polyphyllin Ⅰ on the protein expression of Caspase-3 in the apoptosis of colon cancer HCT116 cells and apoptosis-related protein Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) and B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)
in order to investigate the inhibitory effect of polyphyllin Ⅰ on the metastasis of colorectal cancer.Method: Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) experiment was performed for the detection of the cell growth inhibition effect; flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of HCT116 cells after the treatment with polyphyllin Ⅰ; and Western blot was used to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax
Bcl-2 and Caspase-3).Result: Polyphyllin Ⅰ can inhibit the growth of HCT116 cells in a concentration and time-dependent manner
and promote the apoptosis of HCT116 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with control group and the low-concentration polyphyllin Ⅰ group
the expressions of Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 were increased in the high-concentration polyphyllin Ⅰ group
and the protein expression of Bcl-2 was decreased (P<0.05).Conclusion: Polyphyllin Ⅰ can inhibit the growth of HCT116 cells and promote the apoptosis of HCT116 cells. Its mechanism in promoting HCT116 cell apoptosis may be related to the decrease of the expression of the mitochondrial pathway-associated apoptosis factor Bcl-2
increase of the protein expressions of Bax and mitochondrial pathway downstream Caspase-3.
