Abstract

It is abundantly clear that tumor-derived parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) are central contributors in promoting osteolytic process of breast carcinoma bone metastasis. Forcusing on this molecular basis, the study was undertaken to explore the inhibition effects of total flavonoids from Scutellaria barbata D. Don (TF-SB) on human breast carcinoma bone metastasis. MDA-MB-231 cells and nude mouse models of breast cancer bone metastasis were given TF-SB in different concentrations. The proliferation, migration and invasion potentials of MDA-MB-231 cells were respectively tested. The effects of TF-SB on tumor weights and bone destruction were investigated. The mRNA and protein expression of PTHrP, OPG and RANKL were assessed by qPCR and western blot analysis. In vitro, TF-SB inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In vivo, TF-SB prevented bone metastasis of breast cancer by decreasing the number of osteoclast cells per field in a dose-dependent manner, but not affecting tumor growth or mouse survival. Molecular analysis revealed that TF-SB controled the secretion of osteolysis-related factors PTHrP and its downstream RANKL/OPG. Together, by controlling the expression of PTHrP and its downstream OPG/RANKL, TF-SB has significant inhibition effects on breast cancer bone metastasis, which indicates a new therapeutic method.
