Abstract

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of propofol on cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration of human glioma cell line U251.   Methods Cells were divided into Propofol (1 M), Propofol (2 M) and Propofol (5 M) group and treated with propofol bisides U251 group. Cell proliferation was determined by CCK8 assay, flow cytometry was performed for cell apoptosis. The invasion and migration abilities of U251 cell were determined by Transwell and wound healing assays. The expressions of Ki67, Caspase-3, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt, p-PI3K and p-Akt were measured by western blot.  Results Compared with U251 group, the cell growth rate was decreased and cell apoptosis rate was increased in Propofol (1, 2, 5 M) groups. Meanwhile, the invasion cells in the propofol (1, 2, 5 M) groups were decreased compared with the U251 group, and wound closure rate was also down-regulated in the propofol (2, 5 M) groups. In addition, propofol inhibited the expressions of Ki67 and VEGF (proliferation- and migration-related proteins) and induced expression of apoptosis-related protein Caspase-3. Propofol also decreased the ratio of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt significantly. Conclusions Propofol reduces the abilities of cell proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma cell line U251 and induces cell apoptosis, the mechanism of which may be related to inhibition of the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway
