NSC-38270 Exhibits Anti-invasive and Pro-apoptotic Effects on Hepatocellular Carcinoma Huh7 Cells.
Background/aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a main type of liver cancer with high metastatic potential, and its incidence is steadily increasing worldwide. However, the development of new drugs for the treatment of HCC is still insufficient. This study aimed to determine the anticancer effect of NSC-38270, a natural product, on HCC.
Materials and methods: After treating HCC Huh7 cells with NSC-38270, cell growth, wound healing, migration, and invasion assays were conducted. We investigated the effects of NSC-38270 on Twist1, a crucial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related transcription factor. In addition, apoptosis, histone H2A.X activation, and cell morphology assays were performed in Huh7 and immortalized normal liver cells following treatment with NSC-38270.
Results: NSC-38270 reduced the migration and invasion ability of Huh7 cells, accompanied by a decrease in Twist1. Furthermore, NSC-38270 induced apoptosis in Huh7 cells, whereas apoptosis was not observed in immortalized normal liver cells (THLE-2 cells and Chang liver cells).
Conclusion: NSC-38270 exhibited significant inhibitory effects on the migration and invasion of Huh7 cells by repressing Twist1. Importantly, it induced cancer cell-specific apoptotic effects. These findings suggest that NSC-38270 holds promising potential as a therapeutic candidate for cancer treatment.
期刊介绍:
ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed.
ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies).
Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
