Combined antitumor effects of P-5m octapeptide and 5-fluorouracil on a murine model of H22 hepatoma ascites. Exp Ther Med 2018; 16:1586-1592. [PMID: 30186375 PMCID: PMC6122418 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2018.6422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2016] [Accepted: 02/10/2017] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study has demonstrated that P-5m octapeptide (P-5m) has therapeutic potential in metastatic human hepatocarcinoma, possibly through the modulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the antitumor effect of P-5m combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) on the treatment of hepatoma 22 (H22) hepatocarcinoma malignant ascites in a mouse model. The inhibitory effect on the growth of mouse ascites tumors was monitored by measuring body weight gain, survival time, ascites volume, numbers of tumor cells, DNA synthesis and peritoneal capillary permeability analysis. The present data revealed a significant reduction in ascites volume and cell count in mice that were treated with P-5m plus 5-Fu. Furthermore, the median survival time in mice in the combination group was prolonged compared with the disease control group. Moreover, a significant reduction in the total H22 ascites cell count in mice from the combination group was observed when compared with the disease control group. P-5m plus 5-Fu was able to induce the cell cycle arrest and inhibit the peritoneal capillary permeability of the mice. To conclude, the present study indicated that P-5m may have therapeutic potential in ascites caused by hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Domain 5 of kinin-free high molecular weight kininogen inhibits the adhesion of many tumor cell lines, and it has been reported that the histidine-glycine-lysine (HGK)-rich region might be responsible for inhibition of cell adhesion. The authors developed HGK-containing hexapeptide, glutamic acid-cysteine-glycine (ECG)-HGK, and evaluated the utility of Tc-99m ECG-HGK for tumor imaging. Hexapeptide, ECG-HGK was synthesized using Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis. Radiolabeling efficiency was evaluated. The uptake of Tc-99m ECG-HGK within HT-1080 cells was evaluated in vitro. In HT-1080 tumor-bearing mice, gamma imaging and biodistribution studies were performed. The complexes Tc-99m ECG-HGK was prepared in high yield. The uptake of Tc-99m ECG-HGK within the HT-1080 tumor cells had been demonstrated by in vitro studies. The gamma camera imaging in the murine model showed that Tc-99m ECG-HGK was accumulated substantially in the HT-1080 tumor (tumor-to-muscle ratio = 5.7 ± 1.4 at 4 h), and the tumoral uptake was blocked by the co-injection of excess HGK (tumor-to-muscle ratio = 2.8 ± 0.6 at 4 h). In the present study, Tc-99m ECG-HGK was developed as a new tumor imaging agents. Our in vitro and in vivo studies revealed specific function of Tc-99m ECG-HGK for tumor imaging.

Mol Med Rep 2015; 11:3900-7.

Abstract
MicroRNA‑133a (miR‑133a) is downregulated in various types of human malignancy, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), renal cell carcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, bladder cancer, ileal carcinoid and rhabdomyosarcoma. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of miR‑133a on HCC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion. miR‑133a was transfected into the HCC HepG2 and SMMC‑7721 cell lines and the expression levels of miR‑133a were determined; in addition, cell viability assays, colony formation assays, cell migration assays, cell invasion assays, western blot analyses and luciferase assays were performed in the HCC cell lines. The results demonstrated that miR‑133a significantly inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion in HepG2 and SMMC‑7721 cells. To the best of our knowledge, the present study also provided the first evidence that miR‑133a directly downregulated the expression of matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP‑9) in the HCC cells. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicated that miR‑133a may have suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion via the downregulation of MMP‑9 in HCC cell lines. Therefore, MMP‑9 may be used for the development of novel molecular markers and therapeutic approaches to inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis.

Abstract
Background Lung cancers are leading causes of cancer death, and Rumex japonicus has been traditionally used in folk medicine as anti-microorganic, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor agents. This study was designed to investigate the anti-proliferative activity of physcion 8-O-β-glucopyranoside (PG) isolated from Rumex japonicus Houtt. on A549 cell lines. Methods In our present study, PG was isolated and identified from the ethanol extracts of R. japonicus. MTT method was used to evaluate the anti-proliferative activity of PG on A549 cell lines, and cell cycle distribution assay, apoptosis assay, and western blot analysis in vitro were used to explore the possible mechanisms. Results From the results of our present study, cell viability was obviously inhibited by PG, in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Our results also suggested that the anti-proliferative effect of PG was related to cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase through repression of cdc2 and Cyclin B1 protein expression. In addition, the results of apoptosis assay and western blot analysis indicated that the anti-proliferative activity could be related to apoptosis via up-regulating the expressions of Bax, caspase-3 and caspase-7, and down-regulating the expressions of Bcl-2. Conclusions In conclusion, the PG has significant anti-proliferative activity on A549 cell lines, and the possible mechanism was related to cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, and apoptosis via the regulations of Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase-3 and caspase-7.

Abstract
Metastasis is the major cause of cancer-related deaths. Targeting the process of metastasis has been proposed as a strategy to fight cancer. Scutellaria barbata D. Don (S. barbata), a traditional Chinese medicine, is used for treatment of many diseases, including cancer. This study aimed to determine the anti-metastatic effect of total flavonoids of S. barbata (TF-SB) using the human hepatocarcinoma MHCC97H cell line with high metastatic potential. Our results show that TF-SB could significantly inhibit the proliferation and invasion of MHCC97H cells in a dose-dependent manner. MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression were obviously decreased after TF-SB treatment at both the mRNA and protein level. TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 expression were simultaneously increased. The present study indicates that TF-SB could reduce the metastatic capability of MHCC97H cell, probably through decrease of the MMP expression, and simultaneous increase of the TIMP expression.
