ABSTRACT |
Objectives: This study was aimed to elucidate the effects of Trichosanthes kirilowii extract (TKE) on the angiogenesis
and growth of tumor cells.
Methods : Tube formation assay was performed by using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), and
anchorage dependent colony assay was performed by using B16-F10 melanoma, Hep G2 and HT1080, CT-26 and SNU-1 cells.
Results: For HUVEC, TKE at a level of more than 100 ㎍/㎖ suppresses cell growth. For HUVEC at 100 ㎍/㎖ and
greater TKE density, the formation of tubes was suppressed in a dose-dependant manner. TKE controls the colony formations
of B16-F10 melanoma cells, CT 26 cells, and Hep G2 cells, and its effect is proportional to density. In HT1080 cells and
SNU-1 cells, formation is suppressed regardless of density.
Conclusions: From these results, it could be concluded that TKE has significant properties on anti-angiogenesis and
growth inhibiting of tumor cells. It is suggested that TKE will be a good candidate for new drugs or therapeutics for
anti-angiogenesis. |
