Polysaccharides extracted from Bangia fuscopurpurea (BFP) show potential as anti-cancer agents in human ovarian cancer cells. The mechanisms of action involve inhibition of cell migration and invasion, induction of apoptosis and autophagy, and changes in gene and protein expression related to these processes. BFP may have utility in the development of functional foods for cancer therapy.
Although ovarian cancer is common, its prognosis remains poor because of drug resistance and early metastasis. Polysaccharides extracted from Bangia fuscopurpurea (BFP) are potential anti-cancer agents, but the mechanisms underlying their effects in human ovarian cancer remain unclear. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of action of BFP polysaccharides in A2780 ovarian cancer cells using cell migration, invasion, apoptosis, and autophagy assays. Transwell assays indicated that BFP inhibited cell migration and invasion. Flow cytometry analysis showed that BFP treatment induced apoptosis and reactive oxygen species production, while significantly reducing mitochondrial membrane potential. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses revealed changes in the expression of apoptosis- and autophagy-related cellular mRNAs and proteins, respectively, following BFP treatment for 24 h. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that BFP induced autophagy in A2780 cells. These findings demonstrate that BFP may be useful for developing functional foods for cancer therapy.
