Abstract

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a pivotal event in the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. Psoralea corylifolia L. (PC) inhibits the proliferation of various cancer cells. However, its possible role in EMT has not been identified. In the present study, we examined the effects of an aqueous extract of Psoralea corylifolia L. (PCAE), a typical medicinal decoction, on the EMT. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced EMT-like phenotypic changes, enhancing cell migration and invasion. However, PCAE markedly reduced the expression of the LPS-induced EMT markers, including N-cadherin and vimentin, and increased the expression of β-catenin. PCAE also inhibited cell migration and invasion in vitro. The effects of PCAE on the LPS-induced EMT were mediated by the inactivation of the NF-κB-SNAIL signaling pathway. The results provide new evidence that PCAE suppresses cancer cell invasion and migration by inhibiting EMT. Therefore, PCAE is a potentially effective dietary chemopreventive agent for malignant tumors since it inhibits metastasis.
