ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761) on apoptosis of K-ras mutational human colon cancer cells DLD1(DLD1/G13D)and its mechanism. Methods Human colon cancer cell lines DLD1/G13D and DLD1 with K-ras wild type(DLD1/WT)were cultured in vitro,the cell proliferation and apoptosis after 24 h of EGb761 were measured. Proteins involved in related signal pathway were detected by Western blot or ELISA. Results EGb761 reduced cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner in DLD1/WT and DLD1/G13D cells. EGb761 downregulated the expression of RIP1, impaired the phosphorylation of IκB and decreased the level of NF-κB in DLD1/WT and DLD1/G13D cells[DLD1/G13D: (24±4)%, DLD1/WT: (29±9)%(P<0.05). Conclusion EGb761 restrains the proliferation and induces the apoptosis of DLD1/WT and DLD1/G13D cells. The mechanism may be related to the degradation of RIP-1 and inhibition of activation of NF-κB signaling pathway.
