Sumario: | Glioma is the most common and malignant form of primary brain tumour, and is characterised by high proliferation and extensive invasion and neurological destruction. Demethylzeylasteral (T-96), which is extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii, is considered to have immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic effects. Here, the anti-tumour effect of T-96 on glioma was evaluated. Our results demonstrated that T-96 significantly inhibited glioma cell growth and induced cell cycle arrest in G1 phase but did not induce apoptosis. Cell invasion and migration were dramatically suppressed after treatment with T-96. Almost all genes related to cell cycle and DNA replication were downregulated after treatment with T-96. Our results showed that miR-30e-5p was noticeably upregulated after T-96 treatment, and MYBL2, which is involved in cell cycle progression and is a target gene of miR-30e-5p, was significantly reduced in synchrony. Overexpression of MYBL2 partially rescued the T-96-induced inhibition of cell growth and proliferation. Moreover, a miR-30e-5p antagomir significantly reduced the upregulation of miR-30e-5p expression induced by T-96, leading to recovery of MYBL2 expression, and partially rescued the T-96-induced inhibition of cell growth and proliferation. More important, T-96 effectively upregulated miR-30e-5p expression and downregulated MYBL2 expression, thus inhibiting LN-229 cell tumour growth in a mouse model. These results indicated that T-96 might inhibit glioma cell growth by regulating the miR-30e-5p/MYBL2 axis. Our study demonstrated that T-96 might act as a promising agent for malignant glioma therapy. |
