| description | Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant subtype of brain cancer. Current
standard treatment are limited in effectiveness and impose additional side effect. Quercus
infectoria (QI) was reported to be anti-carcinogenic and exhibit inherent antioxidant activity.
This study evaluated the effect of QI extract on GBM cell line (DBTRG-05MG) and neural
stem cell line (H9-hNSC). Soxhlet extraction was performed using 70% and 100% methanol
solvent. Antioxidant activity was measured using DPPH free radicals scavenging assay. Cells were cultured and optimal extract concentration was determined via MTT assay. The
genomic and proteomic analysis of the Ql-treated cells were performed using real-time PCR
and Western Blot respectively. We observed that 100% methanolic QI extract (100%-Met)
produced significantly higher yield (78.46%) compared to 70% methanolic QI extract (70%-
Met) (43.7%). Despite not significant, 100%-Met showed higher antioxidant activity
compared to 70%-Met (94.62% vs 91.33%). 100%-Met (1C5o:70.76 pg/ml) and 70%-Met
(ICso:71.55 pg/ml) were found to show anti-DBTRG-05MG proliferation. Following
treatment, DBTRG-05MG showed reduced cancer cell marker (PKM2) gene expression.
CASP3 gene, a key player in apoptotic pathway was expressed significantly higher in 100%-
Met-treated DBTRG-05MG compared to non-treated group. However, CASP3 expression in
100%-Met-treated H9-hNSC was not significantly different to the non-treated control,
indicating QI extract did not possess apoptotic effect on H9-hNSC. Similarly, Western Blot
analysis produced clear band at 35 kDA which represent caspase-3 protein for treated
DBTRG-05MG, but absent in treated H9-hNSC and non-treated control. In conclusion, QI extract is a potential anti-cancer drug with negative cytotoxicity response towards non cancerous cell such as NSCs. Further study is warranted to elucidate the precise effect of
reduction ofCD133 expression on H9-hNSC activity and cell integrity. |
