[Abstract]
Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of bakuchiol (BAK)on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells based on bioinformatics methods and experimental verification. Methods CCK-8 and real-time cell analysis system(RTCA)were used to detect cell proliferation. PI staining was used to analyze cell cycle. Annexin V-FITC/PI dual fluorescence staining, Hoechst 33342 and JC-1 mitochondrial membrane staining were used to detect cell apoptosis, and wound healing experiments and Transwell chamber method were used to detect cell migration and invasion ability. Western Blot was used to detect the expression levels of relevant proteins,network pharmacology was used to predict the potential targets and hypothesized pathways of BAK,and molecular docking was used to detect the binding affinity between core targets and BAK. Results The results of CCK-8 and RTCA showed that BAK could inhibit the proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. The PI staining results showed that after 36-hour intervention with BAK in nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cells,BAK(30 μmol·L-1) increased the proportion of 5-8F cells in the S and G2/M phases,and the proportion of 6-10B cells in the G1 phase. BAK(40 μmol·L-1)increased the proportion of 5-8F cells in the sub G1 and S phases,and the proportion of 6-10B cells in the G2/M phase. The results of Hoechst 33342, JC-1, and Annexin V-FITC/PI dual fluorescence staining showed that BAK can cause cell condensation, fragmentation, and nuclear dissolution in 5-8F and 6-10B cells, reduce mitochondrial membrane potential,and increase cell apoptosis rate. The results of wound healing experiments and Transwell chamber method showed that BAK can reduce the migration and invasion rates of 5-8F and 6-10B cells. Western Blot results showed that BAK can reduce the expression levels of PCNA,Cyclin D3,XIAP,and Vimentin and N-cadherin proteins in 5-8F and 6-10B cells. Network pharmacology analysis showed that the MAPK signaling pathway in nasopharyngeal carcinoma is most affected by BAK. Molecular docking results showed that BAK has affinity with core target gene products VEGFA,PTGS2,EGFR,and TNF. Experimental verification showed that BAK can effectively reduce the expression levels of ERK1/2,p-ERK1/2,VEGFA,PTGS2,EGFR and TNF in 5-8F and 6- 10B cells. Conclusion BAK can inhibit the proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells,induce apoptosis,inhibit cell migration and invasion. Its mechanism of action may be related to the impact on the MAPK signaling pathway and VEGFA,PTGS2,EGFR and TNF.
