Effect of Yanghetang on Apoptosis of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cell Line MDA-MB-231 Based on Egr1/p21 Signaling Pathway
To investigate the effect of ancient recipe Yanghetang and its drug-contained serum on apoptosis of triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 based on the signal pathway of early growth response gene 1 (Egr1)/cyclin dependent inhibitor (p21).
Method:
2
The drug-containing serum of Yanghetang was prepared from rats
and MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured
in vitro
. The blank control group was set
and MDA-MB-231 cells in Yanghetang high
middle
and low dose groups (23.4
11.7
5.85 g·kg
-1
) were intervened for 24
48
72 h
respectively. After that
the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) method was used to detect the cell proliferation of each group. The blank control group was set
while MDA-MB-231 cells in Yanghetang high
middle
and low dose groups (23.4
11.7
5.85 g·kg
-1
) were treated for 48 h
and then flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of each group and the distribution of cell cycle. The expression of Egr1 and p21 mRNA in each group was detected by quantificational Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR)
while the expression of Egr1 and p21 protein in each group was detected by Western blot.
Result:
2
After MDA-MB-231 cells were intervened by Yanghetang for 24
48
72 h
MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation was significantly inhibited in Yanghetang high and middle dose groups as compared with the blank control group (
P
<
0.01). After MDA-MB-231 cells were intervened by Yanghetang for 48 h
the apoptosis was significantly increased in Yanghetang high and middle dose groups as compared with the blank control group (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). In the Yanghetang high
middle dose groups
the proportion of cell cycle G
0
/G
1
phase decreased
and the proportion of G
2
/M phase increased (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). The mRNA and protein expressions of Egr1
p21 were increased in Yanghetang high and middle groups (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Yanghetang can activate Egr1/p21 signaling pathway in MDA-MB-231 cells
