Novel Method

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among other types of cancer due to lack of effective treatments and late diagnosis. Nanocarriers represent a novel method to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs, enhancing their bioavailability and stability. Methods: In the present study, we loaded gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) with ERL to investigate the efficiency of the formed composite in inducing apoptosis in HepG2 liver cancer cells. Cytotoxicity was assessed using MTT assay and cell phase distribution was assessed by flow cytometry along with apoptosis detection. Results: Data obtained indicated the efficiency of the formed composite to significantly induce cell death and arrest cell cycle and G2/M phase. IRF4 was downregulated after treatment with loaded ERL. Conclusion: Our data showed that loading ERL on TiO2NPs was more efficient than AuNPs. However, both nanocarriers were efficient compared with control.

Abstract Background Echinacoside (ECH) is the main active ingredient of Cistanches Herba, which is known to have therapeutic effects on metastatic tumors. However, the effects of ECH on liver cancer are still unclear. This study was to investigate the effects of ECH on the aggression of liver cancer cells. Methods Two types of liver cancer cells Huh7 and HepG2 were treated with different doses of ECH at different times and gradients. MTT and colony formation assays were used to determine the effects of ECH on the viability of Huh7 and HepG2 cells. Transwell assays and flow cytometry assays were used to detect the effects of ECH treatment on the invasion, migration, apoptosis and cell cycle of Huh7 and HepG2 cells. Western blot analysis was used to detect the effects of ECH on the expression levels of TGF-β1, smad3, smad7, apoptosis-related proteins (Caspase-3, Caspase-8), and Cyto C in liver cancer cells. The relationship between miR-503-3p and TGF-β1 was detected using bioinformatics analysis and Luciferase reporter assay. Results The results showed that ECH inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of Huh7 and HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, we found that ECH caused Huh7 and HepG2 cell apoptosis by blocking cells in S phase. Furthermore, the expression of miR-503-3p was found to be reduced in liver tumor tissues, but ECH treatment increased the expression of miR-503-3p in Huh7 and HepG2 cells. In addition, we found that TGF-β1 was identified as a potential target of miR-503-3p. ECH promoted the activation of the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway and increased the expression levels of Bax/Bcl-2. Moreover, ECH could trigger the release of mitochondrial Cyto C, and cause the reaction Caspases grade. Conclusions This study demonstrates that ECH exerts anti-tumor activity via the miR-503-3p/TGF-β1/Smad aixs in liver cancer, and provides a safe and effective anti-tumor agent for liver cancer.
