- Paper Abstract
- Background: Asiatic acid (AA) is a naturally pentacyclic triterpenoids extracted from traditional medicine Centella asiatica l. that has demonstrated possesses potential health benefits and antitumor ability. However, the precise anticancer effects and mechanisms by which AA impact RCC cells remains unclear. Methods: Cell proliferation and cell cycle distribution were detected by MTT, colony formation assay and PI stain by flow cytometry, respectively. Cell mobility and invasiveness were determined by in vitro migration and invasion assay. The secretory MMP15 was detected by ELISA assay. Quantitative RT-PCR, siRNA, and immunoblot were used to determine gene expression/regulation and protein expression, respectively. Antimetastatic effect of AA were performed to lung nodule numbers in vivo metastasis mice model. MMP15, pERK1/2 and p-p38MAPK expressions were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results: Our findings indicated cell proliferation and cell cycle distribution of RCC cells were not significantly influenced by AA treatment. AA suppressed cell migration, invasion and significantly down-regulated mRNA and protein expression of MMP-15 (Matrix Metallopeptidase-15). Activation of ERK1/2 and p38MAPK were inhibited with AA, whereas combined AA with siRNA-ERK or siRNA-p38MAPK markedly reduced the metastatic effect and decreased MMP-15 expression in 786-O and A498 cells. Finally, AA significantly reduced the lung metastasis formation and metastasis-related proteins of human 786-O cells in vivo metastasis mice model. Conclusion: AA inhibits the metastatic properties of RCC cells via inhibition of the p-ERK/p-p38MAPK axis and the subsequent down-regulation of MMP-15 in vitro and in vivo. Further study of AA as a potential anti-metastatic agent for RCC is warranted.
