Abstract:

AIM: To observe the effect of astragaloside on the proliferation, apoptosis of human renal carcinoma cell (ACHN) and the activation of SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway.  METHODS: ACHN cells were co-cultured with 20, 60 and 120 μmol/L of astragaloside. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effect of astragaloside on proliferation inhibitory rates of ACHN cells. The apoptotic rates of ACHN cells were analyzed using flow cytometer. Western Blot was used to determine the expression levels of Csapase-8, Bax, Bcl-2, SDF-1 and CXCR4 proteins in ACHN cells. RESULTS:After treatment with 20, 60 and 120 μmol/L of astragaloside, the proliferation inhibitory rates of ACHN cells were significantly increased with time- and dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The apoptotic rates of ACHN cells in astragaloside groups were significantly increased compared with control group (P<0.05). The expression levels of Csapase-8 and Bax in astragaloside groups were significantly increased, and the expression levels of Bcl-2, SDF-1 and CXCR4 were significantly decreased compared with control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Astragaloside can inhibit the proliferation of ACHN cells and induce the apoptosis of ACHN cells, and its mechanism was associated with the inhibition of SDF-1/CXCR4 cascade.
