摘要: 目的 探究大黄素-8-O-β-D-葡萄糖苷(EG)与紫杉醇(PTX)联合抗人乳腺癌细胞活力及侵袭转移作用。方法 MTT法检测EG、PTX单独及联合作用对人乳腺癌MCF 7、MDA-MB-231细胞活力的影响,以联合指数(CI)值判断药物联合作用效应;Transwell实验检测两药联用对人乳腺癌细胞侵袭转移能力的影响;实时荧光定量PCR(RT-qPCR)检测转移相关基因mRNA表达水平。结果 EG和PTX均能明显抑制人乳腺癌MCF 7、MDA-MB-231的细胞存活(P<0.01),在实验浓度下两药联用具有协同效应;EG(240 mmol·L-1)、PTX(5 nmol·L-1)联合用药可明显抑制人乳腺癌细胞的侵袭转移(P<0.01);两药联用能明显下调人乳腺癌细胞中基质金属蛋白酶基因MMP2MMP9P<0.01),EMT相关基因VimentinP<0.01)和SnailP<0.01,P<0.05)的转录水平,上调CDH1(MCF 7细胞)和下调CDH2(MDA-MB-231细胞)基因的转录水平(P<0.01)。结论 EG与PTX联用可协同抑制人乳腺癌细胞活力及侵袭转移。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside (EG) combined with paclitaxel (PTX) on the viability and metastasis of human breast cancer cells. Methods MTT assay was used to detect the cell viability of EG, PTX alone and concomitant administration on MCF 7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, and the combination index (CI) value was calculated to evaluate the effects of the two drugs; Transwell assay was used to detect the metastasis ability of the two drugs combinations on two kinds of breast cancer cells; The mRNA expression level of metastasis-associated genes (MMP2MMP9, CDH1, CDH2, Vimentin and Snail) detected by Quantitative Real-time PCR. Results EG and PTX significantly inhibit the survival of human breast cancer MCF 7 and MDA-MB-231 cells (P<0.01), and the two drugs exhibited a synergistic effect at experimental concentrations; The combination of EG (240 mmol·L-1) and PTX (5 nmol·L-1) can substantially suppress the metastasis of human breast cancer cells (P< 0.01); the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase genes MMP-2 and MMP-9 (P<0.01), EMT-related genes Vimentin (P<0.01) and Snail (P<0.01, P<0.05) in breast cancer cells was significantly down-regulated through the combination of two drugs; the combination can up-regulated the expression level of CDH1 in MCF 7 cells and down-regulated the expression level of CDH2 in MDA-MB-231 cells (P<0.01). Conclusion EG combined with PTX can synergistically inhibit the viability and metastasis of human breast cancer cells.
