Saikosaponin D inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis in breast cancer cells through down-regulating JAK2/STAT3 pathway
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of saikosaponin D on the proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer MCF-7 cells by JAK2/STAT3 pathway. MethodsThe breast cancer MCF-7 cells were divided into control group
low-dose group
middle-dose
and high-dose groups (treated with 0
5
10 and 20 μmol/L saikosaponin D for 12
24
36
48
60 or 72 h). Tetramethylazolium salt (MTT) colorimetric assay was used to detect the cell viability in MCF-7 cells of each group. Flow cytometry was adopted to detect cell apoptosis in each group. Immunohistochemical assay was employed to detect the expression of JAK2 and STAT3 in MCF-7 cells. At the same time
Western blotting was used to detect the protein levels of JAK2
STAT3 and Ki-67 in each group of cells. ResultsThere was statistical differences in MCF-7 cell viability among the control
and low-
middle- and high-dose groups (F=5.099
38.908
159.680
234.885
344.866
386.914
P<0.05). Compared with the control group
the cell viability of MCF-7 cells in the low-dose
middle-dose and high-dose groups were significantly reduced after treatment for 12
24
36
48
60 and 72 h (P<0.05)
and the cell viability of the cells in the low-dose group for 24 and 36 h was higher than that of the middle-dose group and the high-dose group (P<0.05)
and the cell viability of the middle-dose group was higher than that of the high-dose group at 24 and 36 h (P<0.05). The apoptotic rate of MCF-7 cells differed significantly among the control group
and low-
middle- and high-dose groups (Chi-square=21.609
P<0.05). The rate was higher in the 3 treatment groups than the control group (P<0.05)
that of the low-dose group was lower than those of the middle-dose group and the high-dose group (P<0.05)
so was that of the middle-dose group lower than that in the high-dose group (P<0.05). The relative expression levels of JAK2 and STAT3 proteins in MCF-7 cells were significantly different among the 4 groups (F=44.343
46.389
P<0.05)
they were obviously lower in the 3 treatment groups than the control group (P<0.05)
and those in the low-dose group were higher than those of the middle-dose group and the high-dose group (P<0.05)
so were in the medium dose group than those in the high dose group (P<0.05). Western blotting indicated that the relative expression levels of JAK2
STAT3 and Ki-67 proteins significantly differed from each other of the 4 groups (F=25.241
18.102
14.997
P<0.05). The levels of the 3 proteins were all decreased in the 3 treatment groups than the control group (P<0.05)
and the levels of JAK2 and STAT3 were higher in the low-dose group were than the medium-dose group and the high-dose group (P<0.05)
and also was higher in the medium-dose group than the high-dose group (P<0.05). ConclusionSaikosaponin D can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis in breast cancer MCF-7 cells
which may be closely related to the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.
