In this paper, a significantly effect of N-(4-hydrophenyl) retinamide (4-HPR), a derivative of retinoic acid, was observed on inhibition of migration, invasion, cell growth, and induction of apoptosis in hepatoma cells and B16 melanoma cells. The number of migratory hepatoma cells reduced significantly from the control 201 +/- 27.2 to 58 +/- 5.03 after 6-hour incubation with 4-HPR (p < 0.01, n = 4). The number of migratory B16 melanoma cells reduced from the control 302 +/- 30.1 to 254 +/- 25.04 (p < 0.05, n = 4). The invasive ability of these cells was also suppressed by 4-HPR treatment. Cells that penetrated the artificial membrane matrigel decreased from 27 +/- 13.1 to 11.2 +/- 3.3 in hepatoma cells, from 67.5 +/- 10.1 to 24.3 +/- 3.2 in B16 melanoma cells (p < 0.05, n = 3). Furthermore, cell growth was significantly inhibited especially in B16 melanoma cells and 37.11 +/- 0.94% cells were induced to apoptosis after 48-hour induction by 4-HPR, which was significantly higher than those by retinoic acid treatment (p < 0.05). Although the mechanism of 4-HPR effects was not very clear, over expression of CST, which was inhibited by 4-HPR in our previous study, could diminish the apoptosis--inducing effect by 4-HPR. We believe that 4-HPR has a strong inhibitory effect on melanoma and hepatocarcinoma cells and might become a potent therapeutic agent.
