This study investigated the anticancer effects of geraniin on ovarian cancer cells and the signaling pathways involved. Ovarian cancer cells were treated with different concentrations of geraniin for 48h and examined for viability, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and gene expression. Xenograft tumor studies were performed to determine the anticancer activity of geraniin in vivo. Geraniin significantly decreased cancer cell viability in a concentration-dependent fashion. Geraniin significantly triggered apoptosis, which was accompanied by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and increased cytochrome c release and caspsase-3 activity. Mechanistically, geraniin significantly downregulated Mcl-1 and impaired NF-B p65 binding to the mcl-1 promoter. Overexpression of Mcl-1 significantly reversed geraniin-induced apoptosis in OVCAR3 cells. In addition, geraniin retarded ovarian cancer growth and reduced expression of phospho-p65 and Mcl-1. Collectively, geraniin elicits growth suppression in ovarian cancer through inhibition of NF-B and Mcl-1 and may provide therapeutic benefits for this malignancy.
