Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV), a natural polyphenolic compound, is a modulator for cell division and cell migration, and has diverse beneficial properties. Angiogenin (ANG) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are considered to be important mechanisms for cell proliferation, angiogenesis, the formation of tubular structures, and migration. In this study, we investigated whether RSV has a migratory effect in HeLa cells. When cells were treated with of RSV for 24 hr, the expression of ANG and VEGF was significantly increased in a dose dependent manner measured by real-time PCR. Similarly, we performed time dependent experiments for RSV treated cells and identified the optimized time at 24 hr. The increased expression in RSV treated cells was confirmed by Western blot analysis. To examine the toxic effects of RSV at the determined conditions, MTT assays were performed. The viabilities were unchanged for RSV treated cells, while they decreased at RSV. To examine the effect of migration in RSV treated cells, we performed a wound-healing assay. The migratory rates were significantly enhanced in the RSV treated group. In this study, we found that RSV induces an increase in the expression of migration factors ANG, VEGF, and enhances cell migration for the determined conditions.
