| Abstract | E6 and E7 human papillomavirus (HPV) oncoproteins play a significant role in the malignant transformation of infected cervical cancer cells via suppression of tumour suppressor pathways by targeting p53 and pRb, respectively. This study aimed to investigate the anticancer effects of Oroxylum indicum (OI) leaves' methanol extract on SiHa cervical cancer cells. Expression of apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2, caspase (cas)-3, and cas-9), viral oncoproteins (E6 and E7), and tumour suppressor proteins (p53 and pRb) were evaluated using western blot analysis before and after E6/E7 small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) transfection. In addition, the E6/E7 mRNA expression levels were assessed with real-time (RT)-PCR. The present study showed that the OI extract effectively hindered the proliferation of SiHa cells and instigated increments of cas-3 and cas-9 expressions but decreased the Bcl-2 expressions. The OI extract inhibited E6/E7 viral oncoproteins, leading to upregulation of p53 and pRb tumour suppressor genes in SiHa cells. Additionally, combinatorial treatment of OI extract and gossypin flavonoid induced restorations of p53 and pRb. Treatment with OI extract in siRNA-transfected cells also further suppressed E6/E7 expression levels and further upregulations of p53 and pRb proteins. In conclusion, OI extract treatment on siRNAs-transfected SiHa cells can additively and effectively block E6- and E7-dependent p53 and pRb degradations. All these data suggest that OI could be explored for its chemotherapeutic potential in cervical cancer cells with HPV-integrated genomes. |
