ABM: To study the effect of caffeic add phenethyl ester (CAPE) on proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and expression of β-catenin in cultured human colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line HCT116. METHODS: HCT116 cells were treated with CAPE at serial concentrations of 80,40,20,10,5,2.5 mg/L. The proliferative status of HCT116 cells was measured by using methaben-zthiazuron (MTT) assay. Cell cycle was analyzed by using flow cytometry (FCM) with propidium iodide (PI) labeling method. The rate of apoptosis was detected by using FCM with annexin V-FITC and PI double labeling method, β-catenin levels were determined by Western blotting, β-catenin localization in HCT116 was determined by indirect immunofluorescence. RESULTS: After HCT116 cells were exposed to CAPE (80, 40, 20, 10, 5, and 2.5 mg/L) for 24, 48, 72, 96 h, CAPE displayed a strong growth inhibitory effect in a dose- and time-dependent manner against HCT116 cells. FCM analysis showed that the ratio of G0/G1 phase cells increased, S phase ratio decreased and apoptosis rate increased after HCT116 cells were exposed to CAPE (10, 5, and 2.5 mg/L) for 24 h. CAPE treatment was associated with decreased cytoplasmic β-catenin, nuclear p-catenin and a concurrent increase in β-catenin protein expression at cell-cell junctions. CONCLUSION: CAPE could inhibit HCT116 cell proliferation and induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Decreased β-catenin protein expression may mediate the anti-proliferative effects of CAPE.
