BACKGROUND: The notion of cancer therapy is intrinsically subjected to multiple challenges due to the drug resistance and drug toxicity for normal tissues. Herniarin (7-methoxycoumarin) belongs to the naturally occurring aromatic phytochemicals and coumarins. Considering the boosting effect of nanocarriers in drug delivery, we investigated the proapoptotic, anti-metastatic properties, and molecular mechanism of herniarin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles on human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS), human colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29), human pancreatic carcinoma (Panc-1), and normal human skin fibroblast (HFF) cell lines.

METHODS AND RESULTS: The cytotoxicity of synthesized nanoparticle have been tested using MTT assay. The obtained results manifested that concentration of herniarin that exerts 50% cell growth inhibition (IC50) against HT-29, AGS, and Panc-1 was calculated 138.34, 123.46, and 83.744 µL, respectively. Given that nanoparticles showed lowest IC50 values on Panc-1 cell line, these cells were selected for further analysis. The apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest were examined performing real-time PCR, flow cytometry, and DAPI/acridine orange-propidium iodide staining. The expression of apoptosis-related genes, including BCL-2, was decreased, while the expression of CASP9, CASP8, and CASP3 was increased in response to the treatment. Moreover, the expression of metastasis-related gene (MMP2) was significantly suppressed under Her-SLN-NPs treatment. According to the flow cytometry findings, we observed no cell cycle arrest at any stage.

CONCLUSION: Our funding manifested herniarin encapsulated solid lipid nanoparticles has potent therapeutic target against Panc-1 cell line.
