Mechanism of Weichang’an inhibiting invasion and metastasis of orthotopic xenografts of colon cancer in nude mice by targeting ARHGAP25
Objective,2,To study the effect of Weichang’an on the expression of Rho guanosine triphosphatase activating protein 25 (ARHGAP25) in orthotopic xenografts of colon cancer in nude mice, and to explore the molecular mechanism of Weichang’an inhibiting the invasion and metastasis of colon cancer.,Methods,2,The orthotopic xenograft model was made by human colon cancer HCT-116 cells. The nude mice were randomly divided into empty vector group, ARHGAP25 overexpression group, empty vector + Weichang’an low concentration group and empty vector + Weichang’an high concentration group with 6 mice in each group. The body mass, volume and tumor inhibition rate of orthotopic xenografts were compared. The positive expression of ARHGAP25 was detected by immunohistochemistry, the expression of ,ARHGAP25 ,mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, and the protein expressions of ARHGAP25, matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), E-box binding zinc finger protein 1 (ZEB1) and β-catenin (β-catenin) were detected by Western blot.,Results,2,The rate of tumor formation in nude mice was 100%. The tumor inhibition rates of ARHGAP25 overexpression group, empty vector + Weichang’an low concentration group and empty vector + Weichang’an high concentration group were 88.03%, 22.79% and 51.48%, respectively. The weight of orthotopic xenografts in ARHGAP25 overexpression group was significantly lower than that in empty vector group (,P,<,0.05); the volume of orthotopic xenografts in ARHGAP25 overexpression group and empty vector + Weichang’an high concentration group was significantly smaller than that in empty vector group (,P,<,0.05). Compared with those in the empty vector group, the positive expression area of ARHGAP25 was significantly increased in ARHGAP25 overexpression group and empty vector + Weichang’an low concentration group (,P,<,0.05); the expression of ,ARHGAP25, mRNA was significantly up-regulated in ARHGAP25 overexpression group, empty vector + Weichang’an low concentration group and empty vector + Weichang’an high concentration group (,P,<,0.05); the expression of ARHGAP25 protein was significantly up-regulated (,P,<,0.05), while the expression of MMP-7, MMP-9, ZEB1 and β-catenin were significantly down-regulated (,P,<,0.05) in ARHGAP25 overexpression group, empty vector + Weichang’an low concentration group and empty vector + Weichang’an high concentration group.,Conclusion,2,Weichang'an can inhibit the growth of orthotopic xenografts of colon cancer in nude mice, promote the expression of ARHGAP25, reduce the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related molecules including ZEB1, β-catenin, MMP-7 and MMP-9, restrict the invasion and metastasis of orthotopic colon cancer in nude mice.
