Study on the mechanism of gossypol acetic acid in the treatment of uterine fibroids based on proteomics
To investigate the mechanism of gossypol acetic acid (GAA) in the treatment of uterine fibroids.
METHODS
2
Human leiomyoma cells SK-UT-1 were selected as objects to investigate the effects of different concentrations (5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 μmol/L) of GAA on the activities of cell proliferation. 4D-DIA proteomic detection and bioinformatics analysis were carried out to screen differential proteins. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signaling pathway analysis were performed. The expressions of top 3 proteins [N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1), epidermal growth factor receptor feedback inhibitor 1 (ERRFI1), CXC chemokine ligand 3 (CXCL3)] with differential fold changes in SK-UT-1 cells were determined.
RESULTS
2
10-160 μmol/L GAA could significantly reduce the survival rate of SK-UT-1 cells (
P
<0.05). Proteomics results showed that a total of 921 differentially expressed proteins were obtained, including 254 up-regulated proteins and 667 down-regulated proteins. The differentially expressed proteins were mainly distributed in mitocho
ndria, nucleus, extracellular matrix, etc. Bioinformatics results showed that differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT (phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B), MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase), TNF (tumor necrosis factor), etc., which mainly involved cell apoptosis, aging, and movement. GAA significantly decreased protein expressions of NDRG1 and CXCL3 (
P
<0.05), but increased protein expression of ERRFI1 (
P
<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
2
The improvement effect of GAA on uterine fibroids may involve signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT, MAPK, TNF, etc. It can improve the occurrence and development of uterine fibroids by downregulating the expressions of NDRG1 and CXCL3 proteins, upregulating the expression of ERRFI1 protein, and affecting the proliferation and apoptosis of uterine fibroid cells.
