英文摘要 | The present study was designed to determine how ginsenoside Rg1, an active ingredient in ginseng root, exerts its oestrogenic effects. We hypothesize that Rg1 may exert oestrogen-like actions in MCF-7 cells by activating the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in a ligand-independent manner. MCF-7 cells were co-incubated with the MAPK inhibitor PD98059 to determine whether the stimulant effects of Rg1 on cell proliferation, the induction of IGF-IR and pS2, the functional transactivation of oestrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha), as well as ER alpha phosphorylation are dependent on MAPK. The time-dependent responses of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) to Rg1 in MCF-7 cells were studied. The responses of MEK phosphorylation to Rg1 in oestrogen receptor (ER)-negative HEK293 cells were also determined. The effects of Rg1 on cell proliferation and IGF-IR protein expression were studied in the presence of tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein to elucidate the involvement of tyrosine kinase in mediating these effects. The oestrogenic effects of Rg1 in MCF-7 cells were abolished in the presence of PD98059. Rg1 could induce MEK protein expression and the phosphorylation level of MEK and ERK significantly in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Rg1 activated MEK phosphorylation in ER-negative HEK293 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Rg1 induction of cell proliferation and IGF-IR protein expression was abolished by co-treatment with genistein. Taken together, these results show that the MAPK pathway is involved in mediating the oestrogen-like actions of Rg1 in MCF-7 cells and suggest that Rg1 may activate ER alpha via MEK/ERK in a ligand-independent manner. |
