Abstract Background: The present study aimed to explore the role of ZIC4 in human liver cancer.Methods: Illumina450 genome-wide methylation data was downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas for 50 available liver tumor/surrounding pairs. Wound healing test, colony formation and flow cytometry assay were utilized to analyze cell migration, survival and apoptosis. The effects of EZH2 and ZIC4 on tumor growth were also investigated through in vivo xenograft and orthotopic implantation experiments. Results: ZIC4 was hypermethylated in liver cancer tissues and cell lines. EZH2 knockdown and DZNep mediated H3K27me3 contributes to ZIC4 expression. The antitumor effect of EZH2 knockdown on hepatocellular carcinoma growth, metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition progression in vitro were rescued by sh-ZIC4. Downregulation of ZIC4 also rescued the antitumor effect of DZNep in vivo.Conclusions: Epigenetic silencing of ZIC4 by EZH2 mediated H3K27me3 is an important mechanism in human liver cancer and provide a new therapeutic target for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma disease.

Induction Of Apoptosis

Abstract Evodiamine is an active alkaloid member found in Traditional Chinese Herb (TCH) Evodia rutaecarpa. It has been reported to exhibit remarkable biological and medicinal activities including anticancer and anti-inflammatory. This study was designed to investigate the anticancer effects of evodiamine against human liver cancer and evaluate its effects on cell migration, cell invasion, cellular apoptosis and PI3K/AKT pathway. The results showed that evodiamine exhibits potent antiproliferative effects against two human liver cancer cell lines (HepG2 and PLHC-1) with an IC50 of 20 µM. Nonetheless, the cytotoxic effects of evodiamine were comparatively low against the normal cells as evident from the IC50 of 100 μM. The growth inhibitory effects of evodiamine were found to be due to the induction of apoptosis as revealed by the DAPI, AO/EB and annexin V/PI staining assays. The induction of apoptosis was also associated with upregulation of Bax and downregulation of Bcl-2 expression in a concentration dependent manner. The wound healing and transwell assay revealed that evodiamine caused a significant decline in the migration and invasion of the HepG2 and PLHC-1 cells. Investigation of the effects of evodiamine on the PI3K/AKT signalling revealed that evodiamine inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT proteins. Taken together, the results showed that evodiamine inhibits the growth of human liver cancer via induction of apoptosis and deactivation of PI3K/AKT pathway. The results point towards the therapeutic potential of evodiamine in the treatment of liver cancer.

The edible parts of the plants Camellia sinensis, Vitis vinifera and Withania somnifera were extensively used in ancient practices such as Ayurveda, owing to their potent biomedical significance. They are very rich in secondary metabolites such as polyphenols, which are very good antioxidants and exhibit anti-carcinogenic properties. This study aims to evaluate the anti-cancerous properties of these plant crude extracts on human liver cancer HepG2 cells. The leaves of Camellia sinensis, Withania somnifera and the seeds of Vitis vinifera were collected and methanolic extracts were prepared. Then, these extracts were subjected to DPPH, α- amylase assays to determine the antioxidant properties. A MTT assay was performed to investigate the viability of the extracts of HepG2 cells, and the mode of cell death was detected by Ao/EtBr staining and flow cytometry with PI Annexin- V FITC dual staining. Then, the protein expression of BAX and BCl2 was studied using fluorescent dye to determine the regulation of the BAX and BCl2 genes. We observed that all the three extracts showed the presence of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols or phytochemicals. The W. somnifera bioactive compounds were found to have the highest anti-proliferative activity on human liver cancer cells.
