Hyperin performs a variety of pharmacological activities, such as analgesia, antioxidation, anti-inflammation, avoiding microthrombosis, regulating immune function, inhibiting tumor cell growth. But the role of Hyperin on gastric cancer is unrevealed. Considering the essential role of Hyperin, Hyperin function in gastric cancer is necessary to explore.Aim: To identify the function of Hyperin in gastric cancer.Methods: The role of Hyperin on gastric cell progression was detected in our research. Proliferation, migration, and invasion ability were assessed by the CCK-8, colony formation, cell-cycle assay, wound healing, Transwell migration and invasion assays. TUNEL assay and flow cytometry showed the results of the apoptosis level. Further, caspase-3, -9 activity and apoptosis-associated protein were assessed by the Caspase activity kit and Western blot. Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway activity was appraised by TOP/FOP luciferase activity. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the role of Hyperin on tumor growth in vivo.Results: Functional experiments showed that Hyperin inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion and induced apoptosis in gastric cancer cells. Meanwhile, Hyperin prevented tumor growth by suppressing Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway.Conclusion: The present study revealed that Hyperin suppressed gastric cancer progression by controlling Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway, which provided a novel therapy in gastric cancer.Keywords: Hyperin, gastric cancer, Wnt, β-catenin
