dc.description.abstractBackground: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive brain tumor that is common among adults. This aggression is due to increased invasion, migration, proliferation, angiogenesis, and decreased apoptosis. Plant-based compounds have a high potential to be used as an anticancer agent due to their various mechanisms and less undesirable side effects. Potentilla fulgens is a medicinal plant, and methanolic root extract of P. fulgens (PRE) has anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties.Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate antiproliferative effect of PRE on U118 and T98G glioblastoma cancer cells and to reveal which molecular signaling pathways regulate this mechanism of action.Materials and Methods: The effect of PRE on cell viability of GBM cells was investigated by MTT assay. Involvement of PRE with cell growth and survival signaling pathways, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mTOR and c-Src/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), was examined using Western Blot.Results: PRE reduced cell viability of GBM and human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells in a dose-and time-independent manner. PI3K expression/phosphorylation level remained unchanged in both GBM and HDF cells after PRE treatment, but Akt/mTOR signaling pathway was downregulated in PRE-treated cells. PRE treatment did not affect c-Src expression/phosphorylation level in GBM cells; however, expression of c-Src was suppressed in HDF cells. Similar results were observed for STAT3 expression and phosphorylation status.Conclusion: PRE has the ability to suppress cell viability in GBM cells, by targeting the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.en_US
