Mechanism of Cantharidin-induced Morphological Changes and Dissociation of HCT116 Cells
To explore the molecular mechanism of cantharidin(CTD) in inducing morphological changes and dissociation in human colon cancer HCT116 cells
in order to study the correlation with tumor metastasis and provide a new basis for clinical use of cantharidin.
Method:
2
Different concentrations of CTD (0
2.5
5
10
15
20 μmol·L
-1
) were added to each hole to culture for 7 to 10 days
so as to determine the inhibitory effect of CTD on HCT116 cells; and changes of F-actin cytoskeleton and integrin in HCT116 cells were detected by immunofluorescence staining. Western blot analysis of protein expressions of RhoA
RhoB
RhoC
Cdc42 and Rac1/2/3 of Rho family were performed before and after cantharidin treatment. overexpression of RhoA was constructed by plasmid transient transfection
and effect of 10 μmol·L
-1
cantharidin on the morphology and adhesion of overexpressing cells was also observed.
Result:
2
Cantharidin induced cytoskeletal remodeling and decreased integrin content in HCT116 colon cancer cells. RhoA protein was a member of Rho enzyme family with the greatest variation after cantharidin action. The proportion of transfected RhoA cells with green fluorescence was about 60%
the expression of RhoA protein in constructed RhoA overexpression cells was significantly increased
compared with wild-type HCT116 cells (
P
<
0.01). However
cantharidin can act on RhoA overexpressed HCT116 cells
reverse its overexpression(
P
<
0.01)
and affect its morphology.
Conclusion:
2
Cantharidin can inhibit the expression of RhoA protein
induce the morphological changes of HCT116 cells and weaken the adhesion to the basement
