Abstract:

Objective

To explore the effect of psoralen on the proliferation and cell cycle regulation of prostate cancer LNCaP-AI cellas well as its expression of estrogen-related receptor β.

Methods

LNCaP-AI cells were subjected to treatment with different concentrations of Psoralen in vitro. The proliferation, expression of Ki67 protein, cell cycles and expression of estrogen-related receptor β (ER β) mRNA of LNCaP-AI cells were detected with CCK-8 test, Western blotting, flow cytometry assay and real-time quantitative RT-PCR, respectively.

Results

CCK-8 test showed that psoralen significantly inhibited the proliferation of LNCaP-AI cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner. After treatment with different concentrations of psoralen (30, 50 or 100 μg/ml) for 48 h, LNCaP-AI cells down-regulated expression of Ki67 protein by Western blotting (F = 28.59, P < 0.01). Meanwhile, more cells were arrested at G1 and G2 stage but fewer at S stage as shown by flow cytometry (F = 38.26, 216.634, 153.584, P < 0.01 for all). In addition, increased transcription of ERβ mRNA in LNCaP-AD cells was verified by real-time quantitative RT-PCR (F = 264.09, P < 0.01).

Conclusion

Psoralen can inhibit the proliferation of LNCaP-AI cells and Ki67 expression. The possible mechanism may include inducing cell-cycle arrest at G1, G2 stage and the up-regulation of ERβ mRNA expression in LNCaP-AI cells.
