Abstract

Saussurea lappa Clarke is a well-known transitional medicine in Asia including Korea, China and Japan. It has been reported that Clarke has diverse effects such as anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer in human gastric cells and human prostate cancer cells. However, the anti-cancer effects and the mechanism of actions of Saussurea lappa Clarke are still unknown in breast cancer. In this study, we observed that Saussurea lappa Clarke inhibits the cell growth in a dose- and time-dependent manner in highly-metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. In order to examine whether Saussurea lappa Clarke suppresses cell growth inducing apoptosis cell death or cell cycle arrest, we analyzed DNA contents and cell cycle distribution using a flow cytometer and western blotting in MDA-MB-231 cells. We suggest that Saussurea lappa Clarke dose not induced apoptosis and induced G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. Moreover, Saussurea lappa Clarke also decreased the expression level of metastasis-angiogenesis releated protein such as VEGF. However, dose not changed the expression level of metastasis related protease MMP-1 in highly-metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Therefore, Saussurea lappa Clarke might be good and useful chemotherapy agent highly-metastatic breast cancer patients.
