Ginsenosisde Rg3 inhibits HIF-1α and VEGF expressions in acute leukemia bone marrow stromal cells
Objective To investigate the effect of ginsenoside Rg3 on HIF-1α and VEGF expressions in acute leukemia bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and the possible underlying mechanism. Methods BMSCs from normal health individuals and acute leukemia patients were cultivated. The appropriate time and concentration of ginsenoside Rg3 on BMSCs’ proliferation were assessed by MTT. The BMSCs were treated with ginsenoside Rg3
and mRNA levels of HIF-1α and VEGF were detected by RT-PCR. In addition
the expression of HIF-1α
VEGF
p-Akt and p-ERK proteins were measured by Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence assays. Results After the addition of ginsenoside Rg3
MTT showed that the appropriate concentration and time was 40 μg/ml and 24 h respectively. HIF-1α and VEGF expressions at mRNA and protein levels were reduced significantly (P0.05). The protein expressions of p-Akt and p-ERK were decreased significantly (P0.05). Conclusion Ginsenoside Rg3 not only significantly inhibits HIF-1α and VEGF mRNA expression but also protein expression in acute leukemia BMSCs. It also down-regulates the phosphorylation of Akt and ERK in PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways respectively
which are involved in angiogenesis. These results demonstrate an anti-angiogenesis function of ginsenoside Rg3 through PI3K/Akt and MAPK signal pathways in acute leukemia bone marrow.
