Objective:This study aims to explore the molecular mechanism of matrine in inhibiting the invasion and migration of human cervical cancer cell line Caski cells based on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Methods:Caski cells were treated with different concentration of matrine. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay was used to detect cell proliferation inhibition;Transwell chamber invasion and migration assay was used to detect cell invasion and migration;ELISA assay was used to detect cell matrix metalloprotein 9(MMP-9)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)secretion;Quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect cell glycogen synthase kinase3β(GSK-3β)and wingless/integrated 2B(Wnt2B)expression;Western blot was used to detect cell β-catenin,p-β-catenin protein content. Results:Matrine had inhibitory effect on the proliferation of cervical cancer cells Caski cells(P < 0.05)and showed a time and concentration dependence. Matrine inhibited the invasion and migration of Caski cells(P < 0.05),and it had a significant effect on Caski cells. The ability to secrete MMP-9 and VEGF has a significant inhibitory effect(P < 0.05);matrine can significantly reduce Wnt2B mRNA expression and β-catenin protein content in Caski cells,and increase GSK-3β mRNA expression in Caski cells and p-β-catenin protein content. Conclusion:Matrine promotes the expression of GSK-3βmRNA in Wnt/β-catenin pathway of Caski cells,increases the content of p-β-catenin protein,reduces the expression of Wnt2B mRNA,the content of β-catenin protein and the secretion of MMP-9 and VEGF in Caski cells,thereby inhibiting the invasion and migration of Caski cells.
