Abstract

To evaluate the inhibitive effect of matrine modification X on the growth of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE2 cell xenografts in nude mice. Tumor model was established by subcutaneous inoculation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell CNE2 into nude mice, which was used to evaluate the antitumor effect of matrine modification X in vivo. The expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase3 were detected by real-time PCR and western blot. The growth of xenografts in nude mice was significantly suppressed after application of matrine modification X in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibition rates were 32.55% and 44.89% when treated at medium and high dose respectively. Real-time fluorescence quantitative-PCR and Western Blot results showed that the expression of Bax and Caspase3 increased, while the expression of Bcl-2 decreased in a dose-dependent manner. The change of high dose group was obvious, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Matrine modification X could significantly inhibit the growth of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE2 cell xenografts in nude mice, probably by inducing the apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, and the possible mechanism is related to regulating the expression level of Bax/Bcl-2 ...Continue Reading

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

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.
