p38 MAPK
N-trans-feruloyloctopamine (FO) does not directly act on phosphorylated Akt or p38 MAPK based on molecular docking analysis. However, molecular docking revealed that FO binds to E‑cadherin via hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions.[1] |

| ln Vitro |
N-trans-feruloyloctopamine (FO) at 2 mM concentration significantly inhibited cell proliferation in Huh7 and HCCLM3 cell lines compared to DMSO control, as determined by Cell Counting Kit‑8 (CCK‑8) assay. [1]
FO treatment for 48 hours resulted in a significant reduction in invasive cell counts: Huh7 cells treated with FO showed 11.7 ± 3.1 invasive cells vs. 36.0 ± 6.0 for DMSO; HCCLM3 cells treated with FO showed 23.3 ± 2.5 invasive cells vs. 64.7 ± 9.3 for DMSO (P < 0.05), as measured by transwell Matrigel invasion assays. [1] In wound‑healing migration assays at 48 hours post‑wounding, FO treatment did not cause a significant delay in the relative cleared wound area compared to DMSO (P = 0.073 for Huh7; P = 0.1715 for HCCLM3). [1] Western blot analysis showed that FO (2 mM, 48 h) caused a significant decrease in the phosphorylation levels of Akt and p38 MAPK in Huh7 and HCCLM3 cells, while phosphorylation of p65 (NF‑κB pathway) and ERK1/2 was not affected. FO also resulted in a significant reduction of Slug expression and an increase in E‑cadherin expression compared to DMSO‑treated HCC cells (P < 0.05). [1] Molecular docking analysis indicated that FO does not directly bind to phosphorylated Akt or p38 MAPK, but hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions are critical for FO binding to E‑cadherin. In the docked complex, the hydroxyl group of FO formed two hydrogen bonds with PRO5 (A) and PRO6 (A); one hydrogen bond between the phenolic hydroxyl group and SER8 (B); one hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group of benzene and GLH13 (A); and the amino group of FO formed an H‑bond with PRO6 (B). Hydrophobic interactions involved residues LEU21 (B), ILE7 (B), VAL22 (B), PRO5 (B), ILE7 (A), PRO6 (A), PRO5 (A), and PRO6 (B). [1] |
| Cell Assay |
Cell viability and cytotoxicity were assessed using the Cell Counting Kit‑8 (CCK‑8) assay. HCC cell lines Huh7 and HCCLM3 were treated with various concentrations of N-trans-feruloyloctopamine (FO) or 5‑fluorouracil (5‑FU) for 48 hours. The concentration inhibiting cell growth by 50% (IC50) was determined. For Huh7 cells, IC50 values were 1.99 mM for FO and 2.98 mM for 5‑FU; for HCCLM3 cells, IC50 values were 2.27 mM for FO and 1.84 mM for 5‑FU. Following this, 2 mM FO was used for subsequent experiments. Cell viability percentage was presented as mean ± standard deviation from triplicate experiments. [1]
Cell proliferation was evaluated after treatment with 2 mM FO or 0.2% DMSO (vehicle control) for 48 hours in Huh7 and HCCLM3 cells. Significant inhibition of cell proliferation was observed in FO‑treated groups compared to DMSO. [1] Cell migration was assessed by wound‑healing assay. Cells were grown to confluence, a wound was created, and the relative cleared wound area was measured at 48 hours post‑wounding using Image J software. No significant difference in migration rate was found between FO‑treated and DMSO‑treated groups (P = 0.073 for Huh7; P = 0.1715 for HCCLM3). [1] Cell invasion was evaluated using transwell Matrigel invasion assays. Invasive cells were counted after 48 hours of treatment with 2 mM FO or DMSO. Counts of invasive Huh7 cells were 11.7 ± 3.1 (FO) vs. 36.0 ± 6.0 (DMSO); for HCCLM3 cells, 23.3 ± 2.5 (FO) vs. 64.7 ± 9.3 (DMSO) (P < 0.05). Data are mean ± standard deviation from three independent experiments. [1] Western blot analysis was performed to assess signaling pathway activation. Cells were treated with 2 mM FO or DMSO for 48 hours, then lysed, and protein expression was analyzed using antibodies against phosphorylated and total forms of AKT, p38 MAPK, ERK1/2, p65, as well as Slug, Snail, N‑cadherin, and E‑cadherin. FO significantly decreased phosphorylation of Akt and p38 MAPK, reduced Slug expression, and increased E‑cadherin expression, without affecting p65 or ERK1/2 phosphorylation. [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
N-trans-feruloyl octylamine belongs to the methoxybenzene and phenolic compounds. It has been reported that N-trans-feruloyl octylamine exists in Capnoides sempervirens and Allium sativum, and relevant data are available for reference.
N-trans-feruloyloctopamine (FO) is a vanillin derivative (hydroxycinnamic acid amide) isolated from garlic skin. This study was the first to investigate its effect on HCC invasion. The mechanism of action involves direct binding to E‑cadherin protein (via hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions) and indirect modulation of PI3K/Akt and p38 MAPK signaling pathways, leading to inhibition of Slug expression, restoration of E‑cadherin expression, and blockade of epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). FO did not directly inhibit phosphorylated Akt or p38 MAPK. The compound shows promise as a potential therapeutic agent for HCC treatment and prognosis. [1] |
