Icaritin Inhibits Migration and Invasion of Human Ovarian Cancer Cells via the Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway
Paper Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal of all gynecologic malignancies with poor survival rates. Although surgical treatment and chemotherapy had advanced to improve survival, platinum-based chemoresistance remains a major hurdle in the clinical treatment of OC. The search for novel active ingredients for the treatment of drug-resistant OC is urgently needed. Here, we demonstrated that icaritin, the main active ingredient derived from the traditional Chinese herb Epimedium genus, significantly suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of both drug-susceptible and cisplatin-resistant OC cells in vitro . Mechanistically, icaritin at 20 μM significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR, as well as decreased the expression of vimentin and increased the expression of E-cadherin. Our data indicate that icaritin, a prenylated flavonoid natural product, could serve as a potential inhibitor of cisplatin-resistant OC by inhibiting the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
