EGF and PGE(2) showed proliferation responses in epidermoid carcinoma cell A431 by MTT and [(3)H] thymidine incorporation assay. Activation of the EGF receptor and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERK1/2), but not p38 and JNK, appeared 10 min after EGF treatment, whereas total amounts of ERK1/2, p38 and JNK remained unchanged in A431 cells, accompanied by induction of COX-2 and PGE(2) production. PD98059, a specific ERK1/2 inhibitor, inhibited EGF-induced proliferation with concomitant decreases in ERK1/2 phosphorylation and COX-2/PGE(2) induction. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and diclofenac, a COX activity inhibitor, inhibited EGF-induced proliferation by blocking PGE(2) production. The addition of PGE(2) reversed the inhibitory effects of PD98059, aspirin, and diclofenac on EGF-induced proliferation. This suggests that COX-2/PGE(2) activation involves in EGF-induced proliferation and locates at the downstream of ERK1/2 activation. Furthermore, the natural product, 3-OH flavone, showed the most-potent inhibitory activity on EGF-induced proliferation among 9 structurally-related compounds, and suppression of EGF receptor phosphorylation, ERK1/2 phosphorylation, and COX-2/PGE(2) production by 3-OH flavone was identified. PGE(2) addition attenuates the inhibitory activity of 3-OH flavone on EGF-induced proliferation by MTT assay and colony formation by soft agar assay. Additionally, 3-OH flavone also showed more-specific inhibition on EGF- than on fetal bovine serum (FBS)-induced proliferation in A431 cells. Results of our present study provide evidence to demonstrate that PGE(2) is an important downstream molecule in EGF-induced proliferation, and 3-OH flavone, which inhibits PGE(2) production by blocking MAPK cascade, might reserve potential for development as an anti-cancer drug. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=8190 ------>authors2=Ko CH ------>authors3=Hsu KC ------>authors4=Chen YC ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Shen SC ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=3-OH flavone inhibition of epidermal growth factor-induced proliferaton through blocking prostaglandin E2 production. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no=4 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2004 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=None |
