Honokiol inhibits gastric tumourigenesis by activation of 15-lipoxygenase-1 and consequent inhibition of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma and COX-2-dependent signals. British journal of pharmacology, 2010, Volume: 160, Issue:8 Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma), COX-2 and 15-lipoxygenase (LOX)-1 have been shown to be involved in tumour growth. However, the roles of PPAR-gamma, COX-2 or 15-LOX-1 in gastric tumourigenesis remain unclear. Here, we investigate the role of 15-LOX-1 induction by honokiol, a small-molecular weight natural product, in PPAR-gamma and COX-2 signalling during gastric tumourigenesis.. Human gastric cancer cell lines (AGS, MKN45, N87 and SCM-1) were cultured with or without honokiol. Gene and protein expressions were analysed by RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for COX-2, PPAR-gamma and 15-LOX-1 were used to interfere with the expressions of these genes. A xenograft gastric tumour model in mouse was used for in vivo study.. PPAR-gamma and COX-2 proteins were highly expressed in gastric cancer cells. Inhibitors, or siRNA for COX-2 or PPAR-gamma, significantly decreased cell viability. Honokiol markedly inhibited PPAR-gamma and COX-2 expressions in gastric cancer cells and tumours of xenograft mice, and induced apoptosis and cell death. Honokiol markedly activated cellular 15-LOX-1 expression and 13-S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (a primary product of 15-LOX-1 metabolism of linoleic acid) production. 15-LOX-1 siRNA could reverse the honokiol-induced down-regulation of PPAR-gamma and COX-2, and cell apoptosis. 15-LOX-1 was markedly induced in tumours of xenograft mice treated with honokiol.. These findings suggest that induction of 15-LOX-1-mediated down-regulation of a PPAR-gamma and COX-2 pathway by honokiol may be a promising therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer.
