BACKGROUND/AIMS: α-mangostin has anti-carcinogenic effects against several cancers. We investigated the molecular mechanism of this compound on the metastasis of human renal carcinoma cells.
METHODS: Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay, and cell cycle distribution using flow cytometry. A Matrigel-based assay was used to measure in vitro cell migration and invasion. MAPK-related proteins and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and MMP-2 expression were measured by western blotting, and MMP2/-9 activities were determined by gelatin zymography. RT-qPCR and a luciferase assay were used to examine the transcriptional activity of MMP-9.
RESULTS: α-mangostin inhibited the migration and invasion of RCC cells in a dose-dependent manner, but had no evident cytotoxic effects. Treatment of 786-O cells with α-mangostin inhibited activation of MEK and ERK. Treatment with a specific MEK inhibitor (U0126) enhanced the inhibitory effects of α-mangostin on cell migration and invasion, and the phosphorylation of ERK and MEK. Moreover, α-mangostin inhibited the expression of the MMP-9 mRNA levels as well as the activity of MMP-9 promoter, and these suppressive effects were further enhanced by U0126.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that α-mangostin suppresses cell migration and invasion via MEK/ERK/MMP9 pathway, and might be a promising anti-metastatic agent against human renal cell carcinoma.
