Özet

The effect of 4-OH-Coumarin, a warfarin derivate, on the cellular characteristics and metastasis of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and HUVEC cells was aimed to determine. After IC50 concentrations were detected wound healing and hematoxylin-eosin assays were performed on both cell lines. Ki-67, hTERT, PI3K, AKT, mTOR, HIF-1α, PINK1, Parkin, Cyt C, p53 gene expressions and piR-651, piR-823, miR-126 expressions were determined by RT-PCR. The proliferation, wound closure and survival decreased after 4-OH-Coumarin treatment (p<0.001). Ki-67, hTERT, PI3K, mTOR, HIF-1α, PINK1, Parkin, Cyt C and piR-823 expressions were decreased, while AKT, p53, piR-651, and miR-126 increased on SH-SY5Y (p<0.001). AKT (p<0.05), Parkin, and piR-651 expressions increased on only HUVEC cells (p<0.001). We believe that the study of various molecules that are secondary metabolites such as 4-OH-Coumarin may provide valuable data to observe the effects and mechanisms of new therapeutics that have the potential to be used for cancer treatment.
