Article Abstract
Osteosarcoma represents one of the most devastating cancers due to its high metastatic potency and fatality. Osteosarcoma is insensitive to traditional chemotherapy. Identification of a small molecule that blocks osteosarcoma progression has been a challenge in drug development. Phillygenin, a plant-derived tetrahydrofurofuran lignin, has shown to suppress cancer cell growth and inflammatory response. However, how phillygenin plays functional roles in osteosarcoma has remained unveiled. In this study, we showed that phillygenin inhibited osteosarcoma cell growth and motility in vitro. Further mechanistic studies indicated that phillygenin blocked STAT3 signaling pathway. Phillygenin led to significant downregulation of Janus kinase 2 and upregulation of Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase 1. Gene products of STAT3 regulating cell survival and invasion were also inhibited by phillygenin. Therefore, our studies provided the first evidence that phillygenin repressed osteosarcoma progression by interfering STAT3 signaling pathway. Phillygenin is a potential candidate in osteosarcoma therapy.

To investigate the mechanism of pancreatic alveolar cell autophagy in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) by phillygenin (PHI) based on the PI3K/Akt/mToR pathway. Rats were randomly divided into control group (CON group), SAP model group (SAP group) and PHI treatment group (SAP+PHI group), with 10 rats in each group. 5% sodium taurocholate was injected retrogradely into the biliopancreatic duct to establish a SAP rat model, and PHI was injected intraperitoneally into the pancreas after successful establishment of the model.
