Effects of Walnut Green Husk Extract on Proliferation, Apoptosis and EGFR/MAPK Signal Pathway of Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells
OBJECTIVE: To probe into the effects of walnut green husk extract on proliferation
apoptosis and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)/mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) signaling pathway of breast cancer MCF-7 cells. METHODS: Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) was used to screen the proper concentration of walnut husk extract interfering with breast cancer MCF-7 cells. The breast cancer MCF-7 cells were divided into the blank control group
positive control group
walnut husk husk extract low concentration group
walnut green husk extract high concentration group
walnut green husk extract high concentration + EGFR agonist(NSC228155) group. CCK-8 and colony formation experiment were used to detect cell proliferation in each group. TUNEL method and flow cytometry were used to detect cell apoptosis in each group. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of proliferation
apoptosis and EGFR/MAPK signaling pathway related proteins of cells in each group. RESULTS: When the concentration of walnut green husk extract was ≥20 μg/mL
the cell proliferation rate decreased significantly
20 μg/mL and 40 μg/mL were selected as the walnut green husk extract low and high concentration treatment
respectively. Compared with the blank control group
the cell proliferation rate
the number of cell colonies
the expression levels of CyclinD1
proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) and B cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2) protein
phosphorylated-p38 MAPK(p-p38 MAPK)/p38 MAPK and phosphorylated c-Jun amino-terminal protein kinase(p-JNK)/c-Jun amino-terminal protein kinase(JNK) protein in the positive control group
the walnut green husk extract low concentration group and high concentration group decreased significantly
and the rate of TUNEL positive cells
the apoptosis rate
the expression level of Bcl-2 related X protein(Bax) increased significantly
with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). Compared with the walnut green husk extract low concentration group
the cell proliferation rate
the number of cell colonies
the expression levels of CyclinD1
PCNA and Bcl-2 protein
the ratio of p-EGFR/EGFR
p-ERK/ERK
p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK and p-JNK/JNK protein in the walnut green husk extract high concentration group decreased
and the rate of TUNEL positive cells
the apoptosis rate
the expression level of Bax protein increased
with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the above indicators between the walnut green husk extract high concentration group and the positive control group(P>0.05). Compared with the walnut green husk extract high concentration group
the cell proliferation rate
the number of cell colonies
the expression levels of CyclinD1
PCNA and Bcl-2 protein
the ratio of p-EGFR/EGFR
p-ERK/ERK
p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK and p-JNK/JNK protein in the walnut green husk extract high concentration + NSC228155 group increased
and the rate of TUNEL positive cells
the apoptosis rate
the expression level of Bax protein decreased
with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Walnut green husk extract may inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer MCF-7 cells and induce the apoptosis by inhibiting the EGFR/MAPK signaling pathway.
