Abstract

Ligularia stenocephala has been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of asthma, arthritis, jaundice, and hyperpiesia. In this study, we investigated the anti-metastatic and hypnotic effects of the methanolic extract of L. stenocephala (MLS). Gelatin zymographic analysis revealed that MLS suppresses matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 activities in B16F10 cells. The gene expressions of MMPs were also down-regulated by MLS treatment in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, cancer cell invasion and migration were attenuated by MLS via suppression of NF-${\kappa}B$ activation. The in vivo lung metastasis of B16F10 melanoma cells was also inhibited by the treatment of MLS. These findings show that MLS has anti-metastatic properties, and, therefore, it might be applicable as a valuable anti-metastatic agent.
