Magnolol, a natural compound extracted from Chinese herbal medicine, can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in oral cancer cell lines through upregulating cleaved caspase-3 and HO-1 expression, as well as activating the JNK1/2 and p38 pathways. This study suggests that magnolol may serve as a therapeutic approach for oral cancer through JNK1/2- and p38-mediated caspase activation.
Magnolol is a natural compound extracted from Chinese herbal medicine and can induce apoptosis in numerous types of cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanisms of magnolol in oral cancer are still unclear. In this study, we investigated the anti-cancer effects and underlying mechanisms of magnolol in human oral cancer cell lines. Our results exhibited that magnolol inhibited the cell proliferation via inducing the sub-G1 phase and cell apoptosis of HSC-3 and SCC-9 cells. The human apoptosis array and Western blot assay showed that magnolol increased the expression of cleaved caspase-3 proteins and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Moreover, we proved that magnolol induces apoptosis in oral cancer cell lines via the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)1/2 and p38 pathways. Overall, the current study supports the role for magnolol as a therapeutic approach for oral cancer through JNK1/2- and p38-mediated caspase activation.
