Abstract:
We determined the anticancer potency of CDDO-Me in glioblastoma cell lines and the underlying mechanisms in vitro. Summary: CDDO-Me is a synthetic triterpenoid with more potent anticancer and cancer preventive actions compared with the original triterpenoid CDDO. Methods: Two glioblastoma cell lines, GBM8401 and GBM8901, were utilized to test the effect of CDDO-Me on cell viability, cell migration, and cell invasion using the MTT, wound healing, and transwell migration assays, respectively. Additionally, Western blotting was used to determine the protein expression levels of N-cadherin, cyclin D1, and vascular endothelial growth factor. Results: At nanomolar concentrations, CDDO-Me inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion in both cell lines. In addition, CDDO-Me exhibited a dose-dependent downregulation in the protein levels of N-cadherin, cyclin D1, and vascular endothelial growth factor in GBM8401 and GBM8901 cells. Conclusions: CDDO-Me exhibited anticancer effects at low nanomolar concentrations and should be considered as a potential chemotherapeutic agent for glioblastoma.
