Abstract: Objective

To investigate the effects of oridonin on the proliferation, migration and invasion of endometrial cancer HEC-1B cells, and to elucidate its possible mechanism.

Methods

The endometrial cancer HEC-1B cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into control group(DMSO), positive control group(2.5 mg·L-1cisplatin),low dose(10 μmol·L-1)of oridonin group, medium dose (20 μmol·L-1)of oridonin group and high dose (40 μmol·L-1)of oridonin group. MTT assay was used to detect the inhibitory rates of proliferation of cells. Flow cytometry was used to determine the apoptotic rates of HEC-1B cells. Cell scratch test was used to detect the cell migration ability. Transwell chamber assay was used to detect the invasion ability of HEC-1B cells. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of lncRNA CCAT1 in the cells.

Results

Compared with control group, the apoptotic rates of HEC-1B cells in positive control group, low,medium and high doses of oridonin groups were significantly increased (P<0.05),the scratch healing rates and the number of transmembrane cells were significantly reduced (P<0.05),and the expression levels of lncRNA CCAT1 in the HEC-1B cells were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with low dose of oridonin group, the apoptotic rates of HEC-1B cells in medium and high doses of oridonin groups were significantly increased (P<0.05),the scratch healing rates and the number of transmembrane cells were significantly reduced (P<0.05),and the expression levels of lncRNA CCAT1 in the HEC-1B cells were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with medium dose of oridonin group, the apoptotic rate of HEC-1B cells in high dose of oridonin group was significantly increased (P<0.05),the scratch healing rate and the number of transmembrane cells were significantly reduced (P<0.05),and the expression level of lncRNA CCAT1 in the HEC-1B cells was significantly decreased (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Oridonin can inhibit the proliferation, migration,and invasion and promote the apoptosis of endometrial cancer HEC-1B cells, and its mechanism may be related to down-regulating the expression level of lncRNA CCAT1.
