Abstract

To investigate the effects of gambogenic acid on proliferation,apoptosis and invasion of human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells. HeLa cells were given different concentrations of gambogenic acid( 0. 00,0. 63,1. 25,2. 50,5. 00 and 10. 00 mg / L) for 72 h,MTT assay was used to measure the cells proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to measure cell cycle. Fluorescence microscopy and DNA ladder analysis were used to measure the apoptosis of HeLa cells. Transwell chambers was adopted to detect the cells invasion. The expression levels of mRNA and protein of BCL-2,BAX,NF-κB and E-cadherin were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. After treatment with different concetrations of gambogenic acid for 72 h, the proliferation of HeLa cells was significantly inhibited, and in a concentration dependent manner. The ability of invasion was decreased with the concentration of gambogenic acid increased, which was detected by Transwell chamber assays in vitro. RT PCR and Western blot demonstrated that gambogenic acid up-regulated the expressions of BAX and E-cadherin and down-regulated the expression of mRNA and protein of BCL-2 and NF-κB. Gambogenic acid can inhibite the proliferation and invasion of HeLa cells,and promote the cells apoptosis in a...Continue Reading

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.

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

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.
