Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. Cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry. Sarcoma S-180 tumor-bearing mice were treated with different doses of STCB with 10 μg/mL 5-fluorouracil （5-Fu） as a positive control. The activity of nuclear factor （NF）-κB was detected by gel mobility shift assay. The mRNA level of NF-κB was determined by real-time quantitative RT-PCR. The results showed that in vitro STCB inhibited the growth of S-180 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, which was accompanied by cell cycle arrest at S-phase. In vivo STCB significantly inhibited the growth of S-180 tumor mouse xenografts in a dose-dependent manner with apparent induction of cell apoptosis. Moreover, STCB inhibited the activity of NF-rd3 p65 and reduced the expression of NF-κB p65 mRNA in mouse xenografts. It was concluded that STCB inhibits the proliferation and cell cycle progression of S- 180 cells by suppressing NF-κB signaling in mouse xenografts. Our findings suggest STCB is a promising agent for the treatment of sarcoma.展开更多
