Description

Application of pterocarpin in inhibiting Pim-1 expression
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of application of medicines, in particular to application of pterocarpumine in preparation of a medicine for inhibiting Pim-1 expression.
Background
Drupe, latin scientific name:Ventilago leiocarpa Benthit is a seed of Rhamnaceae and Pterocarpus, and grows in sparse forest or bush at elevation below 1500 m. The medicine has the effects of invigorating qi and blood, relaxing muscles and tendons, and activating collaterals, and has certain curative effects on deficiency of qi and blood, menoxenia, rheumatalgia, numbness of limbs, and traumatic injury. Guangxi folks are used for radically treating anemia, rheumatic arthritis, lumbar muscle strain and other diseases. The plant of the genus Pterocarpus contains abundant quinone compounds, and seven crystal components are obtained from ethanol extract of Pterocarpus heterophyllus root produced in Guangxi, and are respectively identified as emodin-methyl ether, emodin, 1, 2, 4, 8-tetrahydroxy-3-methylanthraquinone, Pterocarpin-I and a new naphthoquinone compound named as Pterocarpin (Ventilaglolin) according to physicochemical properties and spectral data. The pterocarpin belongs to 1, 4-naphthoquinone compounds, and the previous research of the applicant shows that the pterocarpin has good anti-tumor activity, can obviously inhibit the proliferation activity of liver cancer cells and promote the apoptosis. The pterocarpin has a certain effect of resisting liver cancer, but the deep action mechanism of the pterocarpin is not further clarified.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is one of the important mechanisms for tumor cell invasion and metastasis. The EMT refers to the phenomenon that epithelial cells are transformed into mesenchymal cells under specific physiological and pathological conditions, in the process, the polarity of the epithelial cells is destroyed and finally transformed into mesenchymal cells with migration capability and infiltration capability, and the EMT is mainly characterized in that the expression of cellular cadherin is abnormal, the expression of adhesion molecules E-cadherin (E-cadherin) representing the characteristics of the epithelial cells is reduced, and the expression of markers vimentin (vimentin) and N-cadherin (N-cadherin) representing the characteristics of the mesenchymal cells is increased, and researches show that the EMT plays an important role in the processes of invasion and metastasis of liver cancer cells.
The serine/threonine kinase coded by the Pim protooncogene acts on a wide range of substrates in the cell and participates in the occurrence and development processes of various malignant solid tumors, including the proliferation, cycle arrest, apoptosis, migration, invasion, drug resistance and the like of tumor cells. Pim kinases are overexpressed in many human tumors, for example Pim-1 and Pim-2 proteins are common in hematological malignancies and prostate tumors. Pim-1 is the most popular molecular target in the Pim kinase family, and research shows that Pim-1 can activate downstream transcription factors to induce the generation of EMT, thereby enhancing the malignant activity of renal clear cell carcinoma.
At present, no document discloses the application of the pterocarpin in inhibiting Pim-1 expression.

The chemical structure of the pterocarpin of the invention is as follows:
Figure 219908DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
pharmacodynamic experiments show that:
(1) the pterocarpin inhibits the migration and invasion of liver cancer cells. The pterocarcinol shows proliferation inhibition effect on human liver cancer cells HepG2 and SMMC-7721 in a dose-dependent mode, and the results of a scratch experiment and a Transwell chamber experiment show that the pterocarcinol can obviously inhibit the migration and invasion capacity of HepG2 and SMMC-7721. The result shows that the pterocarpin can effectively inhibit the growth and migration invasion of human liver cancer cells and has a potential liver cancer resistance effect.
(2) The pterocarpin inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition of liver cancer cells. Western blot analysis shows that the pterocarpin can reduce the expression of N-cadherin and Vimentin in HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells and improve the expression of E-cadherin. The result shows that the pterocarpin can inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition of the liver cancer cells.
(3) The pterocarpin can regulate the expression of liver cancer cell Pim-1. The expression of Pim-1 was down-regulated by pterocarcinolin at the mRNA and protein levels in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that Pim-1 is regulated by pterocarcinolin.
(4) The pterocarpin inhibits the migration invasion and EMT of liver cancer cells by regulating Pim-1. The pterocarpin can reversely over-express the promotion effect of Pim-1 on cell migration and invasion. Western blot analysis shows that the pterocarpin can reverse the promotion effect of over-expressed Pim-1 on N-cadherin and Vimentin and the inhibition effect on E-cadherin. The results suggest that pterocarpin inhibits malignant progression of liver cancer, such as migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of cells, by negatively regulating Pim-1.
(5) The pterocarpin can inhibit the growth of transplanted tumor of nude mouse with liver cancer. Compared with the blank control group, the pterocarpin group has obviously reduced tumor size and weight. After the treatment of the pterocarpin, cell degeneration and necrosis with different degrees can be seen in tumor tissues, and lymphocyte infiltration is obvious. In addition, compared with a blank control group, the expression levels of Pim-1, N-cadherin and Vimentin in the tumor tissue of the pterocarcinolin treatment group are obviously reduced, and the expression level of E-cadherin is obviously increased. These results indicate that the pterocarpin inhibits the growth of liver cancer in vivo.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following positive effects:
pharmacodynamic experiments show that: the pterocarpumine can obviously reduce the expression level of Pim-1 in HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells, and the effect of over-expressing Pim-1 can be effectively reversed after the pterocarpumine is dried. In vivo experiments show that the pterocarpin can effectively inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells in vivo, down-regulate protein expression of Pim-1, N-cadherin and Vimentin, and up-regulate protein expression of E-cadherin. Therefore, the pterocarpin can effectively inhibit the growth and migration invasion of the liver cancer cells, and reverse epithelial-mesenchymal transition of the liver cancer cells by down-regulating Pim-1. The pterocarpumine disclosed by the invention can be used for preparing a medicament for inhibiting Pim-1 expression, can be used for developing an anti-tumor medicament, has a wide application prospect, and provides a new idea for treating liver cancer by the pterocarpumine.

The expression Pim kinase family of the pterocarpin for down regulating liver cancer cell Pim-1 is closely related to the development process of malignant tumor, Pim-1 is a key member of the family, is highly expressed in the malignant tumor, and can induce the generation of EMT by activating related transcription factors. To verify whether Pim-1 is regulated by pterocarcinolin, we treated HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells with different concentrations of pterocarcinolin for 24h, which showed that pterocarcinolin down-regulates Pim-1 expression at the mRNA and protein levels in a dose-dependent manner (fig. 11-13). Indicating that Pim-1 is regulated by the pterocarpin.
FIG. 11-FIG. 13 pterocarpin reduces the expression of Pim-1 from hepatoma cells. (FIGS. 11-13) cells of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 were treated with 30. mu.M and 60. mu.M of pterocarcinol for 24h, expression levels of Pim-1mRNA and protein were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot, GAPDH was used as an internal reference, data were expressed as the mean. + -. standard deviation of three independent experiments, relative expression was analyzed by ProteinSimple analysis software, andP< 0.05 andPwhen the concentration is less than 0.01, the difference is obvious compared with a control group.
To investigate whether pterocarcinol inhibits the migratory invasion and EMT of liver cancer cells by regulating Pim-1, we constructed lentiviral vectors overexpressing Pim-1 expression in HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells (FIGS. 14-16). We found that the pterocarpin can reverse over-express Pim-1 to promote cell migration and invasion (FIGS. 17-21). Western blot analysis showed that the promotion effect of over-expressed Pim-1 on N-cadherin and Vimentin and the inhibition effect on E-cadherin can be reversed by the pterocarpin (FIGS. 22-23). The results suggest that pterocarpin inhibits malignant progression of liver cancer, such as migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of cells, by negatively regulating Pim-1.
FIG. 14-FIG. 25 show that effective reverse overexpression of Pim-1 in pterocarpumine has effects of promoting migration and invasion of liver cancer cells and promoting EMT. (FIGS. 14-16) the control, NC (negative control) and Pim-1 OE (over-expressed) groups were tested for Pim-1mRNA and protein expression levels by qRT-PCR and Western blot. (FIGS. 17-21) scratch experiments (10 fields) and invasion assays (20X) were performed on HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells in groups and data are presented as the mean of three independent experiments. + -. standard deviation. (FIGS. 22-25) different treatment groups of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells were tested by Western blotting for E-cadherin (E-Ca), N-cadherin (N-Ca), Vimentin and GAPDH protein levels, the data are expressed as the mean of three independent experiments. + -. standard deviation, and the relative expression was analyzed by ProteinSimple analysis software.
In order to further study the effect of the pterocarpin in liver cancer growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, a liver cancer cell nude mouse subcutaneous transplantation tumor model is constructed, high-dose and low-dose (12 mg/Kg) treatment of the pterocarpin is given, and the tumor growth is monitored. The sarcomere size and weight of the pterocarpin group were significantly reduced compared to the blank control group (FIGS. 26-27). After treatment with pterocarpin, various degrees of cell degeneration and necrosis were observed in tumor tissues, with significant lymphocyte infiltration (fig. 28). Moreover, the expression levels of Pim-1, N-cadherin and Vimentin in the tumor tissues of the pterocarpin-treated group were significantly decreased and the expression level of E-cadherin was significantly increased, as compared with the blank control group (FIG. 29). These results indicate that the pterocarpin inhibits the growth of liver cancer in vivo.
FIGS. 26-29 Forbinol inhibited tumor growth in vivo. (FIG. 26) SMMC-7721 cells were injected subcutaneously into the outer back of nude mice, and when the maximum diameter of tumor reached (6 + -0.5) mm, the tumor was randomly divided into 3 groups of 6 mice each, which were administered with sarcodictyin (12 mg/Kg, 6 mg/Kg) by intraperitoneal injection and a corresponding volume of physiological saline 1 time a day, and after 2 weeks, nude mice were sacrificed, and the tumor mass was removed. (FIG. 27) tumor mass is weighed, and represented byP< 0.05 andP< 0.01, compared to control group. (FIG. 28) histopathological changes were observed by HE staining. (FIG. 29) tumor tissue expression of Pim-1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin was detected by IHC (bar =50 μm). Analysis of the percentage of positive expression regions by Image J software, which are expressed separatelyP< 0.05 andP< 0.01, compared to control group.
