    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Dendrobin A, a typical active ingredient of the traditional Chinese medicine Dendrobium nobile, has potential clinical application in cancer treatment; however, its effect and mechanism in anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unsolved. METHOD: The effects of Dendrobin A on the viability, migration, invasion, cycle, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of HepG2 and SK-HEP-1 cells were verified by in vitro experiments. mRNA sequencing was performed to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of HCC cells before and after Dendrobin A treatment, following GO enrichment and KEGG signaling pathway analyses. Mechanistically, molecular docking was used to evaluate the binding of Dendrobin A with proteins p65 and p50, before further verifying the activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling. Finally, the antiproliferative effect of Dendrobin A on HCC cells was explored through animal experiments. RESULTS: Dendrobin A arrested cell cycle, induced apoptosis, and inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion, and blocked epithelial-mesenchymal transition in HepG2 and SK-HEP-1 cells. mRNA sequencing identified 830 DEGs, involving various biological processes. KEGG analysis highlighted NF-κB signaling. Molecular docking revealed strong binding of Dendrobin A with p65 and p50 proteins, and western blotting confirmed reduced levels of p-p65 and p-p50 in HCC cells post Dendrobin A treatment. NF-κB agonist PMA reversed Dendrobin A-inhibited cell proliferation migration and invasion. In vivo experiments showed that Dendrobin A inhibited HCC cell growth. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that Dendrobin A exhibits anti-HCC properties by inhibiting the activation of the NF-κB pathway. These results provide a scientific basis for utilizing Dendrobium nobile in anti-HCC therapies.
