XCHD Inhibits C6 Cell Growth Primarily via the p53Caspase Pathway

الملخص EN

The effects of XCHD on the proliferation of C6 cells and on factors associated with the microRNA-34a (miR-34a)/p53/caspase-3 signaling pathway in vitro were investigated.

Methods.

XCHD was purchased too much to complete the study.

CCK-8 assay was used to measure the XCHD concentration, and qPCR was used to quantify miR-34a expression at the mRNA level.

Apoptosis was assessed using TUNEL.

Western blots were used to determine the p53, caspase-3, caspase-8, and Bcl-2 expression levels.

Results.

The optimal XCHD concentration and time effect for C6 cells were observed after 36 h of exposure to a concentration of 100 µg/ml XCHD.

miR-34a expression increased 8 and 12 h after the addition of XCHD.

The presence of XCHD decreased Bcl-2 expression but increased p53, cleaved caspase-3, Bax, and caspase-8 expression.

When p53 was inhibited, miR-34a expression was unaffected by the addition of XCHD, Bcl-2 expression was low, and cleaved caspase-3, Bax, and caspase-8 expression increased.

The inhibition of p53 promoted C6 cell growth when compared with C6 cells exposed to XCHD and with no inhibition of p53.

Conclusions.

XCHD inhibits C6 cell growth which was influenced by the p53/caspase pathway.
