< Experimental Example  1> Inhibitory effect of growth of cancer cells

Cell survival rates of A-549 (human lung cancer cells) and MCF-7 (human breast cancer cells) were examined by MTT assay to analyze the effect of triterpenoid compound on cancer cell growth.

A-549 (human lung cancer cells) and MCF-7 (human breast cancer cell) cells were plated at a density of 4 × 10 ⁵ cells / well in a 96-well plate. After 24 hours, each sample (β-amylin, (10, 30, 50, 100 and 200 μM) were cultured for 24 hours. The cells were treated with various concentrations (10, 30, 50, 100 and 200 μM) After that, MTT solution was added, and after 4 hours, the medium was removed and washed once with PBS. After the DMSO was treated and allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, the absorbance was measured at 570 nm.

As a result, beta -amyrin and alpha-aminin inhibited the growth of A-549 cells and MCF-7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B). In addition, dendronaxone, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol also inhibited the growth of A-549 cells and MCF-7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (FIGS. 2A and 2B). These results indicate that these five triterpenoid compounds except oline-12-ene-3, 24-diol inhibit the growth of human lung cancer cells and human breast cancer cells.

< Experimental Example  2> Flow cell count ( Flow cytometry ) Experiment

A-549 cells and MCF-7 cells were treated with beta-amylin, alpha-amylin, dendropanoxide, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol, And cultured for an hour to induce apoptosis. After washing with PBS (phosphate buffered saline), the cells were cultured in PI solution containing RNAase A and propidium iodide (PI).

Using a triterpenoid compound flow cytometer (FACSCalibur ^TM, Beckton Dickinson, GmbH, Heidelberg, GermanyBecton DICKINSON) to analyze popto sheath (apoptosis) in cancer cells by, the DNA corresponding to each of the cell cycle The content and cell number were measured, and the results are shown in Fig.

The content of G0 / G1, S, and G2 / M phase DNA was decreased in A-549 cells treated with triterpenoid compound, but the content of sub-G1 phage DNA (DNA of cells killed by epopotisis) (Fig. 3A). These results were also observed in MCF-7 cells (Fig. 3B). Therefore, it was found that these compounds stop cell cycle progression and induce apoptosis in human lung cancer cells and breast cancer cells.

< Experimental Example  3> Western Blasting ( Western Blotting ) Experiment

A-549 cells and MCF-7 cells were treated with beta-amylin, alpha-amylin, dendropanic acid, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol for 24 hours and then subjected to Western blotting.

The cells were treated with a lysis buffer (50 mM Tris / HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 10 μg / mL leupeptin (10 μg / mL), 2 mM PMSF) After dissolution, proteins were extracted by centrifugation, proteins were separated by SDS PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. Then, to confirm the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 protein that regulate apoptosis, each antibody was attached to the membrane, secondary antibody connected with horseradish peroxide (HRP) was bound, and ECL Western blotting was performed using a reagent, and the results are shown in Fig.

As can be seen in FIG. 4, the expression of Bcl-2 protein was decreased in A-549 cells and MCF-7 cells (FIGS. 4A and 4B). On the other hand, the expression of Bax protein was increased in A-549 cells and MCF-7 cells (Figs. 4A and 4B). These results suggest that these compounds induce apoptosis of cancer cells through decreased Bcl-2 expression and increased Bax expression.
