Background Physalin B (PB) from Physalis angulata L. (Solanaceae) is a naturally occurring secosteroid with multiple biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity. However, PB's effects and mechanisms in human gastric cancer (GC) cells are not well characterized. Methods The undifferentiated GC cell line HGC-27 and semi-differentiated GC cell line SGC-7901 were treated with PB. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation assays were performed to evaluate cell viability. Apoptosis and the cell cycle were assessed by Annexin V/PI and PI/RNase DNA staining assays, respectively, and Western blotting was used to evaluate the expression of a protein. Results PB significantly inhibited the proliferation of HGC-27 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, PB induced G0/G1 cycle arrest and caspase-dependent apoptosis of HGC-27 cells. Cleaved caspases 8, 3, and 7, poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP), and the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p-Chk2 was induced by PB in HGC-27 cells, while the cell cycle-related proteins cyclin D1, cyclin D3, CDK4, CDK6, cyclin E, and phosphorylated retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (p-Rb) were downregulated in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions PB inhibits proliferation via cyclin-dependent kinase and induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in HGC-27 cells, suggesting that PB might be a novel and effective agent for undifferentiated GC therapy.
