Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a composition for suppressing metastasis or invasion of cancer comprising an extract of a thistle as an active ingredient. ussuriense As Active Ingredient}

The present invention relates to a composition for inhibiting metastasis or invasion of cancer comprising an extract of thistle as an active ingredient.

Metastasis refers to a condition in which a primary tumor cell migrates from its original site of origin to another site at a remote location and continues to proliferate in the transplanted site, eventually leading to death in most cancer patients . In order for the metastasis to progress, the metastatic process must undergo a connected, sequential step that the tumor cells undergo, and the metastatic cells undergo invasion and obstruction, survival in the circulation process, remote distant capillary system, And proliferation. ≪ / RTI > In addition, basement membrane and extracellular matrix (ECM) must be degraded in order for invasion and metastasis of malignant tumor cells to occur. The degradation of ECM is initiated by proteolytic enzymes secreted by different types of cells involved in tumor cell infiltration, and the expression or activity of all known types of proteolytic enzymes is associated with malignancy and invasiveness of tumor cells. Of these enzymes, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which can degrade most components of the ECM, play an important role in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. MMPs are proteases, and the basic mechanisms of protein degradation regulate the behavior of various cells in relation to tumor biology. Most MMPs are produced in the form of zymogen (pro-MMP), which requires activation for catalytic activity. These include cancer cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion, and modulation of tumor angiogenesis and immune surveillance. MMPs constitute a zinc-dependent endopeptidase family consisting of numerous analogs derived from 21 or more human MMPs and other species [4, 5]. Among the previously reported human MMPs, Gelatinase A (72 kDa type VI collagenase, MMP-2) and Gelatinase B (92 kDa type VI collagenase, MMP 9) are capable of degrading type IV collagen and fibronectin, Is known to be closely related to invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.

It has been reported that the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway plays a major role in tumor development and invasion, and that inhibition of MAPK signaling reduces tumor invasion. MAPKs are known to be involved in the regulation of proteolytic enzymes that degrade the basement membrane. In metastatic cells, it has been reported that ERK1 / 2 activity is further increased when compared to non-metastatic cancer cells.

ERK1 / 2 phosphorylation modulates the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 through the activation of transcription factors including AP-1 (activating protein-1). These proteolytic enzymes mediate tumor invasion and metastasis, suggesting that the MAPK signaling pathway plays an important role in the regulation of cancer cell metastasis processes such as proteolytic enzyme-induction, cell migration and apoptosis. Some natural products known as anticancer agents are known to be highly effective in inhibiting tumor metastasis and invasion. For example, various flavonoids contained in edible plants exhibit anti-metastasis and anti-infiltration effects by inhibiting MMP-9 and MMP-2 enzyme activity.

Expression of p21 was also dependent on the treatment capacity (1, 5, 10 [mu] M) and treatment time (0-24 hours) of 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) (Fig. 12).

MDA-MB-231 cell cycle arrest by compound 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-

The effect of 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one on cell cycle progression of MDA-MB-231 is shown in FIG. When treated with 1 μM 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one compared to the control group, the cell density of the sub-G0 group increased from 17% to 29.5% (48.7%) when treated with 20 μM of 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one.

Compound MDA-MB-231 cell infiltration and motility inhibition by 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-

Cells were stimulated with serum to pass MDA-MB-231 cells through Matrigel. Compared with the control group, treatment with 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one inhibited dose-dependent invasiveness. Treatment of 10 μM of 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one resulted in 26% of infiltrated MDA-MB-231 cells (FIG. 14).

In addition, a wound healing assay was performed to evaluate the activity change of MDA-MB-231 cells according to 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen- Respectively. As a result, 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one suppressed the activity and migration rate of cells. When the 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one was treated with 10 μM, cell activity was inhibited to 44.5% (FIG.

Compound 5,7-Dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one inhibited lung metastasis

To investigate the effect of 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one on the metastasis, MMTV-PyMT mouse control (n = 5) and 5,7- (N = 6) were prepared and dissected at 15 weeks of age to determine the body weight, tumor volume, and tumor weight (FIG. 16). The tumor volume in the 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one treated group was small as compared with the control group and the tumor weight was light compared with the control group. However, the phenotype of the transgenic mice was not significantly different between the control group and the 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one treated group. Tumor development was observed in 10 mammary glands in both the control and 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one treated groups and these results suggest that 5,7-dihydroxy- - (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one has non-toxic activity in tumor growth. However, the numbers of pulmonary metastases were different in the control and 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one treated groups. The spread of the tumor on the lung surface was significantly inhibited in the 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one treated group (Fig. 17). In conclusion, 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one is more effective at inhibiting cancer metastasis than tumor growth inhibition.

Argument

The present invention demonstrates that thistle extract activates Ei24- GFP fluorescence and Ei24 gene expression. At the molecular level, apoptosis mechanisms are very complex and involve a variety of genes and proteins. Ei24 gene Ei24 mechanism of cell death in the mechanism as a strong cancer inhibitor is important for understanding the function of the gene Ei24. The present inventors have confirmed that 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one inhibits cancer metastasis activity in vitro. In addition, the in vivo test showed that 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one was effective in inhibiting metastasis from breast cancer to lung cancer in the MMTV-PyMT transgenic mouse model Respectively.

conclusion

Using a cell-based screening assay, 9,700 plant extracts were screened and plant extracts were obtained to activate Ei24- GFP fluorescence and Ei24 gene expression. Among the extracts screened, 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one, a low molecular weight substance obtained from thistle extract, showed the highest Ei24- GFP fluorescence and Ei24 gene activation activation effect Respectively. In addition, the inventors evaluated the effect of 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one on Ei24 expression levels by analyzing immunostained images using confocal microscopy. MDA-MB-231 cells were more sensitive to inhibition of cell proliferation by 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one compared to HepG2 and HEK-293 cells. The cell viability of MDA-MB-231 decreased dependent on the treatment concentration of 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one. The 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one increased the expression of p21 , a target gene for cancer suppressor genes p53 and p53 . Furthermore, the 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one caused the cell cycle to stop in the sub-GO group. Through wound healing assays and cell invasion assays, it was confirmed that 5,7-dihydroxy-2- (4-methoxyphenyl) chromen-4-one inhibits cancer metastasis activity in a dose-dependent manner.
