Objective To determine the inhibitory effect of baicalin on the proliferation of human colon cancer cell line HCT116 and its underlying mechanism. Methods Human colon cancer cell line HCT116 were primarily cultured in vitro and treated with baicalin at different concentrations of 0.01 to 100 μg/ml. MTT assay was performed to assess the cell proliferation. Western blotting was used to analyze the expression of cell proliferation related proteins in HCT116 cells after baicalin treatment. Results Baicalin from 1 to 100 μg/ml resulted in significantly inhibitory effect on HCT116 cells proliferation compared with the control group (P0.05). The protein expression of mTOR
p70S6K
S6 and eIF4E were significantly down-regulated by baicalin (100 μg/ml) (P0.05)
as well as the expression of 4E-BP1 was significantly up-regulated. The phosphorylation of mTOR
S6 and 4E-BP1 were suppressed by baicalin (100 μg/ml) in HCT116 cells (P0.05). Conclusion Baicalin inhibited the proliferation in HCT116 cells through mTOR signaling pathway.
