چکیده

The patients diagnosed with melanoma have a bad prognosis for early regional invasion and distant metastases. Wogonin (5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone) is one of the active components of flavonoids that extracts from Scutellariae radix. Several previous studies reported that wogonin possesses antitumor effect against leukemia, gastrointestinal cancer and breast cancer. In this study, we used melanoma cell B16-F10 to further investigate the anti-invasive and anti-migratory activity of wogonin. Our date showed that wogonin caused suppression of cell migration, adhesion, invasion and actin remodeling by inhibiting the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and Rac1 in vitro. Wogonin also reduced the number of the tumor nodules on the whole surface of the lung in vivo. Furthermore, the examination of mechanism revealed that wogonin inhibited Extracellular Regulated protein Kinases and Protein Kinase B pathways, which are both medicated by Ras. Insulin-like growth factor-1-induced or tumor necrosis factor-α-induced invasion was also inhibited by wogonin. Therefore, the inhibitory mechanism of melanoma cell invasion by wogonin might be elucidated.

The effect of low intensity dual frequency ultrasonic waves on the viability of the B16-F10 melanoma cell

In this study, the effect of single and dual-frequency sonication on cell death of B16-F10 melanoma cells is investigated at constant temperature. Here, 20 groups were studied. The test groups consisted of: control and sham, 40 kHz (intensity: 0.24 W/cm2), 1 MHZ (intensity: 0.5 W/cm2) and the dual frequency groups which each frequency group included seven subgroups of 30, 120, 60, 150, 300, 600...

Sur8/Shoc2 promotes cell motility and metastasis through activation of Ras-PI3K signaling.

Sur8 (also known as Shoc2) is a Ras-Raf scaffold protein that modulates signaling through extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. Although Sur8 has been shown to be a scaffold protein of the Ras-ERK pathway, its interaction with other signaling pathways and its involvement in tumor malignancy has not been reported. We identified that Sur8 interacts with the p110α subunit of phospha...

Combination therapy of PKCζ and COX-2 inhibitors synergistically suppress melanoma metastasis

BACKGROUND Metastatic malignant melanoma is one of the most aggressive malignancies and its treatment remains challenging. Recent studies demonstrate that the melanoma metastasis has correlations with the heightened activations of protein kinase C ζ (PKCζ) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) signaling pathways. Targeted inhibitions for PKCζ and COX-2 have been considered as the promising strategies fo...

Role of Thymosin 4 in Tumor Metastasis and Angiogenesis

Background: Expression of the small peptide thymosin 4 is associated with angiogenesis induction, accelerated wound healing, and the metastatic potential of tumor cells. However, little is known about the mechanism(s) by which thymosin 4 promotes metastasis. Methods: Northern blot analysis and immunohistochemistry were used to examine thymosin 4 expression in mouse melanoma B16 cell lines and i...
