Abstract

Sesquiterpenes have antitumor, anti-inflammation, and anti-fungal effects. β-bourbonene is a kind of sesquiterpene, but its pharmacological effect has not been studied. The present study was conducted in order to investigate the potential anticancer effects of β-bourbonene on human prostate cancer PC-3M cells. PC-3M cells were incubated with 0, 25, 50, 100 µg/ml of β-bourbonene. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) detection showed that compared with the control group, β-bourbonene inhibited the growth of PC-3M cells in a dose-dependent manner. G0/G1 phase arrest was observed by β-bourbonene by using flow cytometry. TUNEL staining and Annexin V/PI dual-staining method revealed that apoptosis was found in cells with β-bourbonene treatment, and the quantity of apoptotic cells was increased with the elevation in concentration. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Fas and FasL in the drug-treatment group were significantly elevated. Furthermore, the western blot assay also indicated that with an increase in the concentration of β-bourbonene, the protein expression of Bax in the drug-treatment group was significantly elevated, while a decrease was identified in the protein expression of Bcl-2. Taken together, β-bourbonene can inhibit the proliferation and simultaneously, induce apoptosis and G0/G1 arrest of prostate cancer PC-3M cells, which may be realized by upregulation of mRNA expression of Fas and FasL, increase of Bax protein expression and decrease of Bcl-2 protein expression.
