Apoptosis-inducing effects of lentinan on the proliferation of human bladder cancer T24 cells
Journal Title: Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 28, Issue 5
Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the effects of lentinan on the proliferation of human bladder cancer T24 cells and the mechanism regarding the inhibition of cell growth. When gene regulation technique was used to build pcDNA3-TRPM8 expression plasmid, TRPM8 channel activator-lentinan was used for intervention to observe the proliferation of T24 cells. Flow cytometry cell screening method was used to observe the cell ratio of each cell cycle of T24 cells and the ratio of apoptotic and dying cells under the intervention of different concentrations of lentinan using PI single-staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining. JC-1 and DCFH-DA fluorescence probes were used to observe the influence of different concentrations of lentinan on the mitochondrial membrane potential of T24 cells and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) by confocal microscope. pcDNA-TRPM8 plasmid was successfully constructed, and lentinan could inhibit the growth of T24 cells in a dose-dependent pattern. Lentinan played its biological effect through TRPM8 channel to further inhibit the growth of T24 cells, reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential of bladder cancer T24 cell line, and increased the generation of ROS in human bladder cancer T24 cell line. Lentinan led to mitochondrial depolarization or activation of non-mitochondrial pathway to induce intracellular ROS generation, thus eventually inducing T24 cell death and growth inhibition.
