Effect of Shenqi Yiliu Formula (参芪抑瘤方) Drug-Containing Serum on the Cycle of Gastric Cancer Cell AGS and Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway
(参芪抑瘤方) in treating precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC) by the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
Methods
2
The CCK-8 assay was used to determine the optimal intervention time for
Shenqi Yiliu Formula
drug-containing serum and the concentration of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor XAV939 depends on the survival rate of AGS gastric cancer cell line. AGS cells were divided into the gastric cancer cell group (15% blank serum), inhibitor group (selected concentration of XAV939), high-dose
drug-containing serum + 9% blank serum), and low-dose
Shenqi Yiliu Formula
group (3%
Shenqi Yiliu Formula
drug-conta
ining serum + 12% blank serum). Each group was tested in triplicate. After culturing for 24 and 48 hours, cell migration and invasion were assessed by scratch assays; after a selected intervention period (48 hours), cell cycle distribution was analyzed using flow cytometry, Ki67 protein levels were detected by immunofluorescence, the protein levels of Wnt, β-catenin, GSK-3β, and intranuclear T-cell specific factor(TCF) were measured by the protein immunoblotting assay, and the mRNA expressions of these above factors were determined by quantitative real-time PCR.
Results
2
The optimal intervention time for
Shenqi Yiliu Formula
drug-containing serum was determined to be 48 hours, and the effective concentration of XAV939 was 20 μmol/L. Compared with the gastric cancer cell group,
Shenqi Yiliu Formula
at all doses reduced the cell migration rate at 24 and 48 hours (
P
<0.05), except for the low-dose group at 24 hours. Compared to the low-dose group at corresponding time points, high- and medium-dose
Shenqi Yiliu Formula
groups showed significantly reduced migration rates, particularly the high-dose group at 48 hours (
P
<0.05). Compared with the gastric cancer cell group, the high-dose
Shenqi Yiliu Formula
and inhibitor groups exhibited reduced protein and mRNA levels of Wnt, β-catenin, and TCF, along with reduced Ki67 protein levels and a decreased proportion of cells in the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle, but GSK-3β protein levels,

mRNA expression, and the proportion of cells in the G1 phase increased (
P
<0.05). Compared to the inhibitor group, the high-dose
Shenqi Yiliu Formula
group showed a decreased proportion of G1-phase cells and an increased proportion of G2-phase cells (
P
<0.05), although differences in Wnt and β-catenin protein levels and mRNA expressions were not statistically significant
(
P
>0.05).
Conclusion
2
Shenqi Yiliu Formula
drug-containing serum inhibits the migration and invasion of gastric cancer AGS cells and block the cell cycle at G1 phase, and its underlying mechanism may be related to the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
