BACKGROUND: Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine, has gained widespread recognition for its antitumor properties. Further investigation is warranted to determine whether ligustilide (LIG), which is extracted from this plant, can effectively inhibit tumors.
OBJECTIVES: We delved into the impact of LIG on cholangiocarcinoma cells, aiming to unravel the mechanisms underlying its effects.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cholangiocarcinoma cells (HuccT1 and RBE) were exposed to varying concentrations of LIG (2, 5, 10, 15, 20 μg/mL) for 24, 48, and 72 h. After identifying differentially expressed genes, stable transcription strains were utilized to explore LIG's antitumor mechanism. The inhibitory effects of LIG (5 μg/mL, 48 h) were assessed by CCK-8, colony formation, wound healing, transwell migration, western blotting, and immunofluorescence. In vivo, experiments in NOG mice (Ac, Ac+LIG; five per group) evaluated LIG's antiproliferative efficacy (5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, 18-day period).
RESULTS: LIG significantly inhibited cell proliferation and migration with IC50 5.08 and 5.77 μg/mL in HuccT1 and RBE cell lines at 48h, increased the expression of E-cadherin while decreased N-cadherin and the protein of PI3K/AKT pathway. Silenced NDRG1 (N-Myc downstream- regulated gene 1) attenuated these effects. In vivo, the AC+LIG group (LIG, 5 mg/kg, qd, 18 d) exhibited smaller tumor volumes compared to the Ac group. The expression of Ki-67 was significantly downregulated in the AC+LIG group.
CONCLUSION: For the first time, our study has revealed that LIG holds therapeutic potential for treating cholangiocarcinoma. These findings hold promise for advancing innovative therapeutic approaches in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma. LIG may serve as a useful patent for treating CCA.
