- Abstract
- Malignant melanoma is a fatal disease with an increasing global incidence. Despite numerous studies focused on anti-cancer drugs, a variety of side effects of cancer treatment remain challenging. Thus, there is a pressing need to identify novel anti-cancer agents with minimal cytotoxicity and side effects. DB3 (1,3,7,9-tetrahydroxy-2,8-dimethyl-4,6-di[ethanoyl]dibenzofuran) is a member of the dibenzofuran family and is extracted from Ramalina terebrata (Antarctic lichen). We investigated if DB3 exerted an antitumor effect on B16F10 melanoma cells. The results revealed that DB3 exerted time- and dose-dependent reduction of cell viability by inducing apoptosis and significantly suppressing cell proliferation through cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase in B16F10 melanoma cells. Additionally, DB3 impeded the migration and invasiveness of B16F10 cells. Subsequently, we observed that DB3 decreased the expression levels of Cdk4/Cyclin D1 and the phosphorylation of p38, JNK, ERK, and AKT. Furthermore, DB3 decreased melanoma tumor growth in a mouse tumor syngraft model. Based on these findings, we propose that DB3 possesses potential for use as an anti-cancer agent for melanoma treatment. © 2023, The Author(s).
