Popis: | Esophageal cancer is associated with a high mortality rate and easy metastasis. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the bio-product Antrodia cinnamomea mycelial fermentation broth (AC-MFB) on the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) of human esophageal cancer cells and the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects. Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) was used to induce EMT in human esophageal BE3 cancer cells. Changes in cell morphology and migration potential were examined. The expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, and other transcriptional factors was studied by western blot assay. The results showed that AC-MFB was not only able to upregulate the expression of Ecadherin and attenuate the TGF-β-induced overexpression of vimentin and N-cadherin, but it also reversed the TGF-β-induced changes in cell morphology from polygonal to spindle-shaped and delayed the migration potential of BE3 cells. Furthermore, AC-MFB treatment was able to inhibit the expression levels of both Twist and Twist1. Overall, AC-MFB was able to inhibit the EMT of esophageal cancer BE3 cells, which was accompanied by Twist and Twist1 downregulation. |
