摘要
G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) was reported to be a potential target in the breast cancer therapy. This study aimed to illuminate the function of GPER and its mediated PI3K/AKT pathway in cryptotanshinone (CPT) inducing cell apoptosis and antiproliferation effect on GPER positive breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Cell proliferation was tested by MTT assay. Apoptosis rates were tested by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining and the cell cycle was researched by flow cytometry. Autodock vina was applied to make molecular docking between CPT or estradiol and GPER. siRNA technique and GPER specific agonist G-1 or antagonist G-15 were applied to verify the mediated function of GPER. Apoptosis and cell cycle related proteins, as well as the key proteins on PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were detected by western blot. The results indicated that CPT could exert antiproliferation effects by arresting cell cycle in G2/M phase and downregulating the expression of cyclin D, cyclin B and cyclin A. Besides, apoptosis induced by CPT was observed. CPT might be a novel GPER binding compounds. Significantly, suppression of PI3K/AKT signal transduction by CPT was further increased by G-1 and decreased by G-15. The study revealed that the effect of antiproliferation and apoptosis treating with CPT on MCF-7 cells might be through the downregulation of PI3K/AKT pathway mediated by activated GPER.
