Matrine is an alkaloid found in Sophora japonica plants that acts as a kappa opioid receptor and µ-receptor agonist[1]. Matrine has multiple pharmacological effects, including anticancer, anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects[2].
In vitro, treatment of A549, DU145 and MIA PaCa-2 cells with Matrine (50 μM) for 24 h inhibited the expression of CXC chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4), downregulated the levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9), and weakened cell migration activity[3]. Matrine (50-500 μg/ml) treated gastric cancer cell line MNK45 inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 value of 540 μg/ml, and significantly affected the expression of intracellular NF-κB, XIAP, CIAP and p-ERK proteins[4]. Matrine (0.5-2.0 mg/mL) treated D341 cells for 24-72h induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner and increased the expression of apoptosis-related genes such as Bax, caspase-3, and caspase-9 [5].
In vivo, Matrine (300mg/kg) was orally administered to diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM) rats for 10 days, which reduced left ventricular function damage, restored cardiac compliance loss, and inhibited cardiac fibrosis caused by activation of the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway[6]. Matrine (150, 25mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected to treat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) rats, which reduced the clinical severity of EAE, reduced central nervous system cell infiltration, protected type IV collagen and ZO-1 mRNA expression, and regulated the balance between MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1) in serum[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | A549, DU145, and MIA PaCa-2 cells |
Preparation Method | Cells were treated with 50µM of matrine for several time intervals(0, 6,12, 24h). mRNA level was measured by RT-PCR, used GAPDH as a loading control. Then expression levels of CXCR4, MMP-2, MMP-9 was compared on each cell lines. |
Reaction Conditions | 50µM; 0, 6,12, 24h |
Applications | Matrine decreased the CXCR4 expression as well as MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels in A549, DU145, and MIA PaCa-2 cells. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Sprague-Dawley rats |
Preparation Method | Intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (65mg/kg) was employed to induce diabetes in rats. Prior to the induction of diabetes, rats were administered with matrine orally at a dose of 300 mg/kg per day for 10 days. |
Dosage form | 300mg/kg/day; p.o. |
Applications | Matrine attenuates left ventricular functions impairment in experimental rat model of Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM), recovers cardiac compliance loss, inhibits cardiac fibrosis induced by the activation of the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway. |
