Abstract

2‑[(2E)‑3,7‑dimethyl‑2,6‑octadienyl]‑6‑methy l‑2,5‑cyclohexadiene‑1,4‑dione (DMD) is a compound isolated from Atractylodes macrocephala; however, its antitumor activity has not yet been investigated. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the antitumor activity of DMD in the H22 mouse hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line in vitro and in vivo. In the present study, the antiproliferative effects of DMD against H22 cells were evaluated using the MTT assay in vitro. Furthermore, xenograft nude mice were established to evaluate the antitumor effects of DMD on H22 cells in vivo. In addition, apoptosis of H22 cells was determined by flow cytometry with Annexin V‑fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide staining, and western blotting was subsequently performed to examine the expression levels of proteins associated with apoptosis, and c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase (JNK), p38 and extracellular signal‑regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 mitogen‑activated protein kinases (MAPKs). The results demonstrated that DMD exerts an antitumor effect against H22 cells in vitro and in vivo, and the underlying mechanism may be associated with mitochondria‑mediated apoptosis through upregulation of cytochrome c, cleaved (c)‑caspase‑3, c‑caspase‑9, c‑caspase‑7 and B‑cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‑2)‑associated X protein, and downregulation of Bcl‑2. In addition, the antitumor effects of DMD against H22 cells may be also associated with the MAPK signaling pathway via increased p‑JNK and reduced p‑ERK1/2 expression. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated the DMD exerts antitumor effects against HCC in mice and provides a scientific basis for the clinical use of DMD for the treatment of HCC.
