Objective To explore the effects of Ophiopogon D combined with cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)gene silencing on the proliferation,migration and invasion of human pancreatic cancer BxPC-3 cells.Methods BxPC-3 cells were divided into blank control group,Ophiopogonin D high-dose group(40μmol/L),medium-dose group(20μmol/L)and low-dose group(10μmol/L).The COX-2-slienced cells were divided into control group,COX-2 inhibited group(50 pmol/ml siRNA-COX-2),Ophiopogonin D group(20μmol/L)and combination treatment group(Ophiopogonin D 20μmol/L+50 pmol/ml siRNA-COX-2).The proliferation activity of BxPC-3 cells was detected by CCK-8,and the migration distance of BxPC-3 cells was detected by scratched assay.The invasion degree of BxPC-3 cells was detected by Transwell,the relative expression level of COX-2 gene in BxPC-3 cells was detected by real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR),and the relative expressions of COX-2,hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)proteins in BxPC-3 cells were detected by Western blotting.Results The cell proliferation rates of blank control group,Ophiopogonin D high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose groups were(100.0±4.9)%,(71.8±5.4)%,(80.5±5.8)%and(89.7±5.7)%,respectively.The migration distances were(279.8±24.0)μm,(141.9±21.2)μm,(168.8±37.1)μm and(224.6±19.9)μm,respectively.The absorbance(A)values of invasion number were 1.107±0.095,0.390±0.030,0.596±0.017 and 0.826±0.034,respectively.There were statistically significant differences(F=19.770,P<0.001;F=48.270,P<0.001;F=198.400,P<0.001).The above indexes of the Ophiopogonin D high-,medium-and low-dose groups were significantly lower than those in the blank control group(all P<0.05).The relative expression levels of COX-2 gene were 1.007±0.178,0.387±0.169,0.567±0.142 and 0.740±0.030,respectively,and the relative protein expression levels were 1.000±0.033,0.654±0.085,0.762±0.110 and 0.881±0.049,respectively,with statistically significant differences(F=10.280,P=0.004;F=11.780,P=0.003).The above indexes of the Ophiopogonin D high-and medium-dose groups were significantly lower than those in the blank control group(all P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference between the Ophiopogonin D low-dose group and blank control group(both P>0.05).The medium-dose of Ophiopogonin D(20μmol/L)was selected as the subsequent concentration.After COX-2 silencing,the proliferation rates of the control group,COX-2 inhibited group,Ophiopogonin D group and combination treatment group were(100.0±2.8)%,(68.4±6.7)%,(67.7±5.9)%and(57.0±8.5)%,respectively,the migration distances were(274.4±23.8)μm,(217.0±18.8)μm,(186.2±18.6)μm and(115.7±15.8)μm,respectively,and the A values of invasion number were 1.143±0.092,0.791±0.058,0.715±0.026 and 0.424±0.058,respectively,with statistically significant differences(F=34.430,P<0.001;F=103.400,P<0.001;F=131.100,P<0.001).The proliferation rates,migration distances and invasion numbers in each treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group(all P<0.001).Compared with the COX-2 inhibited group and Ophiopogonin D group,the cell proliferation,migration and invasion were significantly inhibited in the combination treatment group(all P<0.05).Compared with the Ophiopogonin D group,only the migration distance of the COX-2 inhibited group was significantly different(P<0.05).The relative expression levels of COX-2 protein in the above groups were 0.995±0.037,0.779±0.060,0.806±0.076 and 0.645±0.079,respectively,the relative expression levels of HIF-1αwere 1.083±0.104,0.749±0.070,0.736±0.070 and 0.394±0.016,respectively,and the relative expression levels of VEGF protein were 1.016±0.103,0.757±0.090,0.745±0.021 and 0.603±0.023,respectively,with statistically significant differences(F=14.650,P=0.001;F=45.220,P<0.001;F=18.180,P<0.001).The expression levels of the three proteins in each treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05).Compared with the COX-2 inhibited group and Ophiopogonin D group,the relative protein expression levels of COX-2,HIF-1αand VEGF in the combination treatment group were significantly decreased(all P<0.05).Compared with the Ophiopogonin D group,there were no significant differences in the expression of the three proteins in the COX-2 inhibited group(all P>0.05).Conclusion Ophiopogon D combined with COX-2 gene silencing can inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of COX-2 pathway and the decrease of HIF-1αand VEGF protein expression levels.
