Brucea javanica oil inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of oral squamous carcinoma by regulated the MTFR2 pathway by Yihan Lai, Yihan Lai, Mingkang Li, Mingkang Li, Juan Zhan, Juan Zhan, Lin Jiang, Lin Jiang, Yuan Wu, Zhiyi Fang, Jianhan Zhou, Jianhan Zhou, Yujie Ma, Yisen Shao, Yisen Shao, Wei Wang, Wei Wang

“…WB and PCR proved that BJO could effectively reduce the expression levels of MTFR2 and SOD2/H2O2 related signal transduction pathways. At the same time, the expression of oxidative phosphorylation markers increased, the expression of glycolytic markers decreased, and glycolysis-mediated decomposition of reactive oxygen species decreased, and H2O2 and oxygen levels decreased.In addition, when MTFR2 expression increased or decreased, SOD2/H2O2 expression also increased or decreased.DiscussionIn this study, we concluded through in vitro and in vivo experiments that BJO may affect the SOD2/H2O2 signaling pathway by down-regulating MTFR2-mediated aerobic glycolysis, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation, Migration, and Invasion. …”
