Abstract

Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (Hepg2) is the most prevalent liver cancer worldwide and a major cause of cancer-related mortality. Natural compounds with therapeutic value are increasingly explored as alternative strategies. Eritadenine, a bioactive component of Lentinus edodes, has demonstrated antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activity in several cancer cell models. However, its potential wound-healing role remains unclear. This study investigated the dual effects of eritadenine on Hepg2 and L929 fibroblast cell lines. Methods: Hepg2 cells were treated with eritadenine (4×10⁻⁴–4×10⁻⁸ M) for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Cytotoxicity was determined using the MTT assay. For wound healing, confluent L929 fibroblasts underwent a scratch assay and were exposed to concentrations of 4×10⁻⁵–4×10⁻⁸ M. Wound closure was assessed microscopically at 24 and 48 hours. Only commercially sourced cell lines were used, and no animal or human experiments were conducted. Results: High-dose eritadenine (4×10⁻⁴ M) markedly reduced Hepg2 viability at 24 hours, whereas the lowest dose (4×10⁻⁸ M) enhanced proliferation at both 24 and 72 hours. Intermediate doses showed no significant changes. In fibroblasts, 4×10⁻⁶ M induced the highest wound closure, while 4×10⁻⁸ M also supported healing across both time points. Conclusion: Eritadenine displayed a dose-dependent dual effect: cytotoxic at higher concentrations and proliferative at lower ones, alongside wound-healing enhancement in fibroblasts. These findings suggest its potential in liver cancer management and tissue regeneration. Keywords: Antineoplastic agents, Eritadenine, Hepg2, L929, Wound healing.

Özet

Amaç: Hepatoselüler karsinom (Hepg2), dünya genelinde en yaygın karaciğer kanseri türüdür ve kanser ilişkili ölümlerin başlıca nedenlerinden biridir. Terapötik değere sahip doğal bileşikler, alternatif stratejiler olarak giderek daha fazla araştırılmaktadır. Lentinus edodes’ten elde edilen biyoaktif bir bileşik olan eritadenin, çeşitli kanser hücre modellerinde antiproliferatif ve pro-apoptotik etki göstermiştir. Ancak, yara iyileşmesindeki olası rolü belirsizdir. Bu çalışma, eritadeninin Hepg2 ve L929 fibroblast hücre hatları üzerindeki ikili etkilerini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Yöntemler: Hepg2 hücreleri, 24, 48 ve 72 saat boyunca 4×10⁻⁴–4×10⁻⁸ M konsantrasyonlarında eritadenin ile muamele edilmiştir. Sitotoksisite, MTT testi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Yara iyileşmesi için, konfluente ulaşmış L929 fibroblastlarına çizik (scratch) testi uygulanmış ve 4×10⁻⁵–4×10⁻⁸ M konsantrasyonlarında eritadenin ile muamele edilmiştir. Yara kapanması, 24 ve 48 saat sonunda mikroskop altında incelenmiştir. Çalışmada yalnızca ticari olarak temin edilen hücre hatları kullanılmış, hayvan deneyleri yapılmamıştır. Bulgular: Yüksek doz eritadenin (4×10⁻⁴ M), 24. saatte Hepg2 hücre canlılığını belirgin şekilde azaltırken, en düşük doz (4×10⁻⁸ M) 24. ve 72. saatlerde proliferasyonu artırmıştır. Orta dozlarda anlamlı bir değişiklik gözlenmemiştir. Fibroblastlarda ise 4×10⁻⁶ M en yüksek yara kapanmasını sağlamış, 4×10⁻⁸ M de her iki zaman noktasında iyileşmeyi desteklemiştir. Sonuç: Eritadenin, yüksek konsantrasyonlarda sitotoksik, düşük konsantrasyonlarda proliferatif etki göstermiş; ayrıca fibroblastlarda yara iyileşmesini artırmıştır. Bu bulgular, eritadeninin karaciğer kanseri tedavisinde ve doku rejenerasyonunda potansiyel bir ajan olabileceğini göstermektedir.
