Abstract
3',4'-Disenecioylkhellactone is one of khellactone-type coumarins isolated from the roots of Peucedanum japonicum Thunb. However, its pharmacological effects are still little understood. In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of 3',4'-disenecioylkhellactone on growth of gastric cancer cells. 3',4'-Disenecioylkhellactone strongly suppressed cell proliferation and induced caspase-mediated apoptosis in AGS human gastric cancer cells. Analysis of phospho-antibody arrays revealed 3',4'-disenecioylkhellactone effectively suppressed signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) tyrosine phosphorylation. 3',4'-Disenecioylkhellactone decreased STAT3 translocation to the nucleus and expression of STAT3 target genes. In addition, we examined the level of STAT3 activation in several gastric cancer cells and found that the inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation by 3',4'-disenecioylkhellactone was associated with gastric cancer cell proliferation. Taken together, this study provides evidence for the first time that 3',4'-disenecioylkhellactone may be a potential therapeutic agent for the prevention or treatment of gastric cancer.
