Abstract

Dioscorea nipponica Makino has been used for the treatment of chronic bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis, cough, and asthma. Several studies have established the antitumor effect of D. nipponica Makino extract (DNE). However, no investigations have considered the antimetastatic potential of DNE in cervical cancer cells. The present study examined the effects of DNE on cervical cancer cells treated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and characterized the possible molecular mechanisms. MTT assay results indicated that DNE exhibited very low cytotoxicity, and DNE significantly reduced the invasion and migration abilities of cervical cancer cells. Gelatin zymography analysis revealed that DNE significantly inhibited matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay results revealed that DNE treatment inhibited the MMP-9 mRNA levels of HeLa and SiHa cells. Western blot results revealed that DNE significantly diminished the ERK1/2 phosphorylation. In conclusion, we revealed that the antimetastatic effects of DNE on cervical cancer cells are due to its inhibition of MMP-9 expression through the ERK1/2 pathway.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Actin, Myosin & Cell Movement

Contractile forces generated by the actin-myosin cytoskeleton are critical for morphogenesis, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms of contraction have been elusive for many cell shape changes and movements. Here is the latest research on the roles of actin and myosin in cell movement.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
