Abstract:【Abstract】Objective To observe the effect of Telocinobufagin on migration, invasion and epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT) and mechanism research of breast cancer cell line 4T1. Methods 4T1 cells with different concentrations of Telocinobufagin (0, 005, 01, 05, 1, 125 and 15 μg/mL) were cultured for 24 h. MTT test was used to access to proliferation of 4T1 cells. The experiment was divided into the control group (0 mu g/ml) and the experimental group (005, 05 mu g/ml). The migration and invasion ability was tested by wound healing assay and transwell assay. The expression levels of Ecadherin, Vimentin and Fibronectin by immunofluorescence and western blot. The expression levels of Snail, pAkt and pmTOR by western blot. Results The MTT test showed that low concentration of Telocinobufagin (0, 005, 01, 05 and 1μg/mL) had no inhibitory effect on the proliferation of 4T1 cells, high concentration of Telocinobufagin (125 and 15μg/mL) had inhibitory effect on the proliferation of 4T1 cells. wound healing assay revealed that cell migration rations were respectively (858±52)%, (493±45)% and (303±45)% (F=105686, P<005). Transwell migration assay found that the cell number was respectively1817±167, 88± 116 and 327± 52 (F=157909, P<005). Transwell invasion assay found that the cell number was respectively 1422±149, 552±93 and 275±71(F=118766, P<005). Immunofluorescence showed that Ecadherin was upregulated, Vimentin and Fibronectin were downregulated. Western blotting showed that the expression of Ecadherin was increased, P<005; the expression of Vimentin, Fibronectin, transcription factor Snail, pAkt, pmTOR were decreased, P<005. Conclusion Telocinobufagin inhibited epithelial mesenchymal transition of breast cancer 4T1 cells via Akt/mTOR/Snail pathway.
