الوصف: Panax ginseng is widely used as a functional food in Asia because of its bioactivities. Here, we report that ginsenoside Rh2, an extract of red Panax ginseng, suppressed growth of uterine leiomyomas (ULs) in a rat model and decreased serum hormone levels in a dose-dependent manner. Rh2 also inhibited the growth of cultured human UL cells in vitro. After Rh2 treatment, cells showed morphological changes that were consistent with apoptosis. Using ELISA, real-time RT-PCR, and Western blot methods, we found that Rh2 significantly reduced the activity of oestrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and c-Src, increased p38 MAPK activity, and reversed ERα activity mediated by PP2 and SB203580, specific inhibitors of c-Src and p38 MAPK, respectively, in UL cells. These findings provide a novel mechanism for the anti-proliferative efficacy of Rh2 that likely involves regulating ERα/Src/p38 MAPK activity.
