Abstract

Osteosarcoma is the most common bone malignancy, and it seriously affects the quality of life of affected children and adolescents. Glabridin (GLA), a major component of licorice root extract, has been reported to exert antitumor effects against a variety of tumor types; however, its effects on osteosarcoma have not been elucidated. In the current study, we investigate the effects and potential antimetastatic mechanisms of GLA on osteosarcoma in vitro and in vivo. Flow cytometry showed that GLA induced G2/M cell cycle phase arrest and promoted cell apoptosis. Transwell and wound-healing assays showed that GLA significantly decreased the migration and invasion of osteosarcoma cells. Further western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction showed that the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in MG63 and HOS cells were reduced after GLA treatment. Moreover, western blotting demonstrated that GLA downregulated the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases and c-Jun N-terminal kinase. A coimmunoprecipitation assay illustrated that formation of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB)-activating protein 1 (AP1) complexes and the DNA binding activities of CREB and AP1 in MG63...Continue Reading

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

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.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
