ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Several regulatory RNA networks are important in regulation of liver cell cycle progression.

Research motivation

Cyanidin-3-glucoside (cyan) is a potential chemotherapeutic and chemo-protective agent.

Research objectives

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of cyan administration on cell cycle in hepatic precancerous lesion induced by diethylnitrosamine/2-acetylaminofluorene in Wistar rats.

Research methods

We used bioinformatic analysis followed by experimental validation.

Research results

Cyan dose dependently decreased the long non-coding RNA-MALAT1 and tubulin gamma 1 mRNA expressions and increased the hsa-miR-125b expression which participate in cell cycle and mitotic spindle assembly. Cyan administration decreased alpha-fetoprotein and improved liver function. Cyan decreased glutathione S-transferase placental foci percent area and proliferating cell nuclear antigen positively stained nuclei.

Research conclusions

Cyanidin may offer a natural molecule to unravel the mystery a cytotoxic pharmacy for the future.

Research perspectives

Further larger in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism of cyanidin cytotoxicity in hepatocellular carcinoma.
