Abstract

Laminarin, found in marine brown algae, is used as a carbohydrate reserve for phytoplankton; however, it is also used in traditional Chinese medicine, and has been shown to have several biological activities, including anticancer activities. In this study, we examined the mechanisms through which laminarin from Laminaria digitata induces apoptosis in HT-29 colon cancer cells, as well as the involvement of the ErbB signaling pathway. Cell viability assay revealed that laminarin induced cell death in a dose-dependent manner. Cell cycle analysis revealed that laminarin increased the percentage of cells in the sub-G1 and G2-M phase. Western blot analysis demonstrated that laminarin inhibited the heregulin-stimulated phosphorylation of ErbB2. A decrease in cellular proliferation was also observed; this was found to be dependent on ErbB, which activates c-Jun N-terminal kinase. These findings demonstrate the important role of the epidermal growth factor receptor in colon cancer tumorigenesis, and suggest the potential of laminarin as a bio-functional food with anticancer effects on human colon cancer.
