Irigenin inhibits glioblastoma progression through suppressing YAP/β-catenin signaling.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant glioma in brain tumors with low survival and high recurrence rate. Irigenin, as an isoflavone compound extracted from Shegan, has shown many pharmacological functions such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor. However, the effects of irigenin on GBM cells and the related molecular mechanisms remain unexplored. In this study, we found that irigenin inhibited the proliferation of GBM cells in a dose-dependent manner by several assays in vitro. Subsequently, we found that irigenin arrested cell cycle at G2/M phase and induced apoptosis of GBM cells in vitro. In addition, irigenin inhibited the migration of GBM cells. Mechanically, we found that irigenin treatment decreased the expression of YAP (yes-associated protein), suppre
