Abstract：Objective To explore the inhibitory effects of astragaloside Ⅱ(ASⅡ)on invasion and migration of clear cell renal cell carcinoma cells,and to analyze the relationships between the effects and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.Methods Human clear cell renal cell carcinoma cells(786-O)were taken and were randomly divided into three groups:the control group,the ASⅡ group,and the LiCl intervention group.In the control group,only fresh serum was used to re-place the culture medium throughout the experiment without any other treatments;in the ASⅡ group,100 μmol/L ASⅡsolution was added to the cells;in the LiCl intervention group,cells were treated with 10 mmol/L LiCl solution,and after 24 h,they were added with 100 μmol/L ASⅡ solution.The migration ability of the cells in each group was measured by Scratch assay,the invasive ability of the cells was detected by Transwell assay,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related proteins E-cadherin,N-cadherin,and N-cadherin were detected by Western blotting.Results Com-pared with the control group,the cell migration rate decreased in the ASⅡ group;compared with the ASⅡ group,the cell migration rate increased in the LiCl intervention group(both P<0.01).Compared with the control group,the number of transmembrane cells decreased in the ASⅡ group;compared with the ASⅡ group,the number of transmembrane cells in-creased in the LiCl intervention group(both P<0.01).Compared with the control group,the expression level of E-cad-herin protein increased in the ASⅡ group,while the protein expression levels of N-cadherin,Vimentin and β-catenin de-creased.Compared with the ASⅡ group,the expression level of E-cadherin protein in the LiCl intervention group de-creased,while the protein expression levels of N-cadherin,Vimentin and β-catenin increased(all P<0.01).ConclusionsⅡ can inhibit EMT via regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
