Saikosaponin a, a purified ingredient of Chinese herb with known antitumor activity, can inhibit cell growth and DNA synthesis of hepatoma cell line HepG2. Both mRNA and protein of the CDK inhibitor p-16(INK4a) and p-15(INK4b) in HepG2 were greatly induced by saikosaponin a while that of p-21(CIP), p-27(KIP) and other cell cycle related genes were not. In addition, reduced phosphorylation of RB protein is observed in saikosaponin a-treated HepG2. Staurosporin, one of the PKC inhibitors, significantly prevented the saikosaponin a induced growth inhibition suggesting PKC pathway be involved. On the other hand, the phorbol ester tumor promoter TPA (12-O-Tetredecanolyphorbol 13-acetate) also inhibited HepG2 growth and specifically induced p-16(INK4a) and p-15(INK4b) mRNA expression. The results suggest that both saikosaponin a and TPA-induced HepG2 growth inhibition are associated with p-15(INK4a) and p-16(INK4b) gene expression and might be mediated by PKC signaling pathway.
