Key Words Compound Muji Granules; Alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer; Cisplatin; Epidermal growth factor receptor-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B-mammalian target of rapamycin pathway; FU97 cells
Core Tip Compound Muji Granules (CMG) markedly inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric cancer FU97 cells, reduced AFP secretion, and induced G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis. Notably, CMG combined with cisplatin produced stronger growth inhibition and pro-apoptotic effects than either agent alone. Network pharmacology and molecular docking identified epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as a key CMG target, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction/Western blotting confirmed that the combination suppresses the EGFR-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B-mammalian target of rapamycin pathway at both messenger RNA and protein levels. Importantly, the antitumor activity of CMG plus cisplatin persisted in an EGFR-driven FU97 model, supporting CMG as a potential chemosensitizer for AFP-producing gastric cancer.
