Inhibition of Jiawei Foshou San on invasion and metastasis through MMP/TIMP signaling in endometriosis
Background: The new formula Jiawei Foshou San (JFS) is consisted of ligustrazine, ferulic acid and tetrahydropalmatine designed from Foshou San . Previously JFS inhibited the growth of rat autograft endometriosis with unclear mechanism. To uncover the effect of JFS on invasion and metastasis in endometrial cells and xenograft endometriosis.
Methods: In vitro , cell viability assay was performed for IC50 measurement in hEM15A and HEC1-B cells after treating JFS. Effects of JFS on invasion and metastasis were analyzed in scratch wound and transwell assay. In vivo , effect of JFS was evaluated in xenogeneic transplantation of endometriosis model. The gene and protein expression of MMP/TIMP signaling were inspected in vitro and in vivo .
Results: Inhibitory effects of JFS were investigated with dose-dependent manner in hEM15A and HEC1-B cells. JFS significantly inhibited the invasion and metastasis in dose- and time-dependent manner. In xenograft endometriosis, JFS reduced the volume of ectopic endometrium. In-depth study, inactive MMP/TIMP signaling expressed the lower MMP-2/9, higher TIMP-1 by JFS in vitro and in vivo .
Conclusions: JFS prevent invasion and metastasis via inactivation of MMP/TIMP signaling in endometrial cells and xenograft endometriosis. It reveals the potential mechanism of JFS on endometriosis and the benefit for further application.
