Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of Baicalein on SATB1 expression and its relation to proliferation, invasivenessand migration of MDA-MB-231 cells.
Methods Colorimetric 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) 2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)and wound healing assays were used to detect the cell proliferation and the migration changes of MDA-MB-231 cells when treated withdifferent concentrations of Baicalein. SATB1 expression in MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by Western blot.
Results Along with thereaction time and increase drug concentration, the inhibitory effect of Baicalein on proliferation and migration of MDA-MB-231 cellsgradually increased in a time- and dose- dependent manner (P<0.05). After treatment with Baicalein for 48 h, an obvious decrease wasobserved in the level of SATB1 protein expression of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05).
Conclusion Baicalein can suppress MDA-MB-231 cells growth and migration by inhibiting its proliferation in a time- and dose- dependent manner. It canalso down-regulate the expression of SATB1.
