Abstract:
Objective: To investigate effect of trypsin inhibitor, sporamin, on expression of Notch4 protein in human pancreatic cancer (PC) cells and proliferation, migration, invasion of the tumor cells. Methods: Effect of the sporamin on proliferation of the PANC-1 and MiaPaCa-2 PC line cells was detected by MTT assay; proliferation and invasion abilities in vitro of the pancreatic cancer cells detected by Transwell assay and effects of various concentrations of the sporamin (0,25,50,75 and 100 μg/ml) on expression level of the Notch4 protein in the human pancreatic cancer cells detected by Western blotting assay. Results: Sporamin significantly inhibited prolilferation, migration and invasion abilities of the PANC-1and MiaPaCa-2 PC line cells, as a patern of concentration-dependence (P<0.05), but not a patern of time-dependence (P>0.05). With increase of the sporamin concentration, expression level of the Notch4 protein also decreased gradually. Conclusion:Trypsin inhibitor sporamin could inhibit proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of the PC cells with a concentration-dependence, and simualtaneously inhibit expression of the Notch4 protein in the PC cells.
