BACKGROUND Previous studies have indicated that Trichosanthin (TCS) exerts anti-virus, immunoregulation and a broad spectrum anti-tumor pharmacological activities. Trichosanthin is a promising agent for the treatment of cervical cancer. However, the exact effects and potential mechanism of TCS on cervical cancer are not well known. METHODS The cell viability of TCS on cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa and caski cells) were detected by a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell proliferation was measured by Ki-67 staining and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Cell migration and invasion were detected by wound assay and transwell assay, respectively. The levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Snail, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, p-STAT5, STAT5, p-C-myc, C-myc were detected by western blot. RESULTS The present study showed that TCS inhibited the proliferation of HeLa and caski cells and reduced Ki-67 and P-C-myc expression. In addition, flow cytometric analysis showed that TCS induced the apoptosis of HeLa and caski cells. The potent effect of TCS on cell apoptosis as determined by the increase the levels of caspase-3 and decrease the levels of Bcl-2. TCS also inhibited cervical cancer cell invasion, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Furthermore, TCS treatment markedly inhibited the activation of STAT5/C-myc signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the present study suggest that TCS inhibits the proliferation, migration and EMT of human cervical cancer cells, which maybe mediated by inhibiting the activation of STAT5/C-myc signaling pathway.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

D015820 Cadherins Calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They are important in the formation of ADHERENS JUNCTIONS between cells. Cadherins are classified by their distinct immunological and tissue specificities, either by letters (E- for epithelial, N- for neural, and P- for placental cadherins) or by numbers (cadherin-12 or N-cadherin 2 for brain-cadherin). Cadherins promote cell adhesion via a homophilic mechanism as in the construction of tissues and of the whole animal body.
