Objective:The therapic effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester(CAPE) in neuroglioma was to be investigated in this article.Methods:Athymic mouse model was constructed for therapic observation when tumor was treated by CAPE in vivo.Then Real-time PCR was employed to detected the expressing level of c-myc and β-catenin genes in Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway when U251 cells were treated by CAPE.Results:CAPE could inhibit the growth of neuroglioma in athymic mouse through drug oral application.The mRNA and protein expression of β-catenin were inhibited.Furthermore
c-myc gene
which was the downstream ofβ-catenin gene
was also down-regulated after the drug treatment.Conclusion:The expressing level of β-catenin and c-myc genes were down-regulated after CAPE treatment
by which the growth of neuroglioma could be inhibited.
