Abstract: AIM: To examine the effects of tubeimoside isolated from Bolbostemma paniculatum on microtubule in low differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells. METHODS: The interactions of tubeimoside with microtubule in CNE-2Z cells were investigated by immunofluorescence microscopy, and the interactions of tubeimoside with tubulin in CNE-2Z cells were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: Tubeimoside (25 μmol·L-1, 3 h) was sufficient to cause the microtubular network disruption. Western blot analysis revealed that the proportion of cytosolic tubulin of cells treated with tubeimoside increased in a time-dependent and concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Tubeimoside is an effective antimicrotubule agent.
