体外研究
Berberine (1.25-160 μM; 72 hours) has potential inhibitory effects on the proliferation of four colorectal carcinoma cell lines LoVo, HCT116, SW480, and HT-29.
Berberine (1.25-160 μM; 24-72 hours) induces a time- and dose-dependent inhibition of LoVo cell growth.
LoVo cells are exposure to Berberine (10-80 μM) for 24 h. Cell cycle analysis of 40 μM Berberine-treated LoVo cells by flow cytometry shows accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase.
Berberine (10-80 μM) suppresses cyclin B1, cdc2 and cdc25c protein expression after 24 h, especially at the dose of 80.0 μM.
Cell Proliferation Assay
Cell Line:
Four colorectal carcinoma cell lines LoVo, HCT116, SW480, and HT-29
Concentration:
1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 μM
Incubation Time:
72 hours
Result:
Inhibited the proliferation of four cell lines. The IC50 ranged from 40.8±4.1 μM (LoVo) to 98.6±2.9 μM (HCT116).
Cell Proliferation Assay
Cell Line:
Colorectal carcinoma cell lines LoVo
Concentration:
1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 μM
Incubation Time:
24, 48, 72 hours
Result:
Induced a time- and dose-dependent inhibition of cell growth. By 72 h, 160.0 μM induced 71.1±1.9 % growth inhibitions in LoVo cells.
Cell Cycle Analysis
Cell Line:
LoVo cells
Concentration:
0, 10, 20, 40, or 80 μM
Incubation Time:
24 hours
Result:
Exposure to 40.0 μM induced G2/M-phase cell cycle arrest, an increase in the G2/M-phase population and a progressive decline in the G1 population.
Western Blot Analysis
Cell Line:
LoVo cells
Concentration:
10, 20, 40, or 80 μM
Incubation Time:
24 hours
Result:
Suppressed cyclin B1, cdc2 and cdc25c protein expression.
体内研究
Berberine (10, 30, or 50 mg/kg/day; gastrointestinal gavage; for 10 consecutive days) inhibits the growth of human colorectal adenocarcinoma in vivo. Berberine at doses of 30 and 50 mg/kg/day taken by gastrointestinal gavage shows inhibitory rates of 33.1% and 45.3% on the human colorectal adenocarcinoma xenograft growth in nude mice.
Animal Model:
5-week-old BALB/c nu/nu mice with human colorectal adenocarcinoma LoVo xenografts
Dosage:
10, 30, or 50 mg/kg/day
Administration:
Gastrointestinal gavage; for 10 consecutive days
Result:
Showed inhibitory rates of 33.1 % and 45.3 % at doses of 30 and 50 mg/kg/day.
