Abstract:Objective: To explore the effects of dexmedetomidine on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ovarian cancer cells by regulating Notch/JAG1 pathway. Methods: SKOV-3 cells were grouped into control group, low-dose dexmedetomidine group (1 nmoL/L), medium-dose dexmedetomidine group (10nmoL/L), a high-dose dexmedetomidine group (100nmoL/L), and high-dose dexmedetomidine+activator group (100nmol/L dexmedetomidine+8 mmoL/L propionic acid). The proliferation ability of cells was determined using MTT assay and Edu staining method. The apoptosis of cells was determined using TUNEL staining method. The migration ability of cells was determined using the cell scratch assay. The invasion ability of cells was determined using the Transwell method. The Ki67, Cyclin D1, Bcl-2, Notch1, and JAG1 proteins in each group were determined by Western blot. Results: Compared with the control group, the low, medium, and high dose dexmedetomidine groups showed a decrease in cell OD value, Edu positive cell rate, scratch migration rate, a reduction in cell invasion number, a clear decrease in Ki67, Cyclin D1, Bcl-2, Notch1, and JAG1 proteins, and a clear increase in cell apoptosis rate and Bax protein (P<0.05), which were dose-dependent (P<0.05). Compared with the high-dose dexmedetomidine group, the high-dose dexmedetomidine+activator group showed an increase in cell OD value, Edu positive cell rate, and scratch migration rate, an increase in cell invasion number, an increase in Ki67, Cyclin D1, Bcl-2, Notch1, and JAG1 proteins, and a decrease in cell apoptosis rate and Bax protein (P<0.05). Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine inhibits ovarian cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by suppressing Notch/JAG1 pathway.
