Description of Kaempferol

Kaempferol is a flavonoid that acts as an inverse agonist of ERRα and ERRγ and possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities[1-2].

Kaempferol significantly inhibited the activity of HCCC9810 and QBC939 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The IC50 values of Kaempferol-treated cells for 72 h were 58.99 μM and 74.91 μM respectively. Kaempferol inhibits the migration and invasion of HCCC9810 and QBC939 cells in a dose-dependent manner and induces apoptosis[1]. In A2780 OC cells, Kaempferol promoted cell apoptosis (158%), inhibited cell viability (53.17%) and cell proliferation (49.17%). Kaempferol increased the protein levels of GRP78, PERK, ATF6, IRE-1, LC3II, beclin 1 and caspase 4, and activated cytotoxic autophagy[3].

Kaempferol (20 mg/kg) inhibited the growth of mouse tumors in a QBC939 cell xenograft model. In a lung metastasis model simulated by injecting QBC939 cells into nude mice, Kaempferol (20 mg/kg) significantly reduced the number and volume of lung metastatic nodules[1]. Kaempferol can reduce plasma glucose levels and increase insulin levels in diabetic rats. Compared with 50 and 200 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg of Kaempferol showed the greatest hypoglycemic effect. After Kaempferol was administered to diabetic rats, lipid peroxidation products, enzymes, and non-enzyme antioxidants all returned to near normal levels[4].

Protocol of Kaempferol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

The human cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cell lines HCCC9810 and QBC939

Preparation Method

CCA cells were incubated with 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 or 150 µM Kaempferol for 24, 48 or 72 h and cell viability was measured using the CCK8 assay.

Reaction Conditions

0, 30, 60, 90, 120 or 150 µM, 24, 48 or 72 h

Applications

Kaempferol significantly inhibited the viability of HCCC9810 and QBC939 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 58.99 and 74.91 at 72 h, respectively.

Animal experiment [1]:

Animal models

Subcutaneous xenograft model in nude mice

Preparation Method

Eight mice were used in each group to establish subcutaneous xenograft model. When the tumor volume reached 100 mm3, Kaempferol (20 mg/kg/day) was injected intraperitoneally daily for 3 weeks. After the treatment, the tumor was removed and the tumor volume was calculated.

Dosage form

20 mg/kg/day, daily for 3 weeks, i.p.

Applications

Kaempferol significantly inhibited tumor growth, and the number of Ki-67-positive tumor cells in the kaempferol-treated group was significantly lower than that in the control group.
