Effects of cinobufacini injection on cell proliferation and the expression of topoisomerases in human HepG-2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Abstract:

:The present study aimed to investigate the effects of cinobufacini injection on the proliferation and expression of topoisomerases in human HepG-2 hepatocarcinoma cells. The cells were divided into a control group and an experimental group, in which 0.105, 0.21, 0.42 mg/l cinobufacini was injected. Cell proliferation was assessed using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, levels of apoptosis were detected using annexin V/propidium iodide staining and cell cycles were analyzed using flow cytometric analysis. The mRNA and protein expression levels of topoisomerase (TOPO) I and TOPO II were determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. Cinobufacini injection significantly inhibited the proliferation of the HepG-2 cells (P<0.05), induced apoptosis (P<0.05) in a dose- and time-dependent manner, induced tumor cell arrest at the S phase in a dose-dependent manner, and downregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of TOPO I and TOPO II (P<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner. Therefore, cinobufacini was found to inhibit human HepG-2 hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation, and downregulation of the expression levels of TOPO I and TOPO II may contribute to the effect on proliferation observed in the Hep‑G2 cells following cinobbufacini injection.
