Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect, and its molecular mechanism, of rhamnetin on cell proliferation, invasion and migration of MCF-7 cell which is a kind of breast cancer cell.   Methods MCF-7 cells were divided into four groups: MCF-7 (control group) and rhamnetin (1, 2.5, 5 μM) groups. Cell proliferaion was detected by CCK-8. Cell invasion was measured by transwell. Cell migration was tested by wound healing. The expression of Notch-1, CSL, Hes1, Ki67 and VEGF were detected by western blot.   Results    Low concentration (< 5 μM) rhamnetin had no effect on the cell viability of MCF-7, while it was quite opposite under the circumstance of high concentration (> 5 μM) rhamnetin. The proliferation in rhamnetin (2.5, 5 μM) groups were lower than that of control group (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the invasion and migration in rhamnetin (1, 2.5, 5 μM) groups were decreased (P<0.05) with lower expression of Notch-1, CSL and Hes1 in rhamnetin (P<0.05). Moreover, the rhamnetin (5 μM)-induced declined expression of Notch-1, CSL, Hes1, Ki67 and VEGF were repressed by Notch-1 pathway activating agent Jagged1 (10 μM).   Conclusions Rhamnetin can restrain the proliferation, invasion and migration of MCF-7 via down-regulating the expression of Notch-1.
