AIM: To investigate the effects of sulforaphane (SFN) on transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 2 stimulated migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in ARPE-19 cells.METHODS: ARPE-19 cells were cultured in the presence or absence of SFN or TGF-beta 2. SFN toxicity was assessed by performing a lactate dehydrogenase assay (LDH) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4- sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assays, and cell migration was evaluated by Transwell migration assay. Actin stress fiber formation in ARPE-19 cells was determined using immunofluorescence analysis. Immunoblotting analysis was used to determine fibronectin and alpha-smooth muscle actin expressions along with the degree of Smad and Akt phosphorylation.RESULTS: SFN inhibited ARPE-19 migration. Additionally, SFN attenuated TGF-beta 2-induced appearance of actin stress fibers as well as fibronectin and alpha-smooth muscle actin expressions in these cells. SFN also hindered the TGF-beta 2-stimulated phosphorylation of Smad2, Smad3, and Akt. SFN showed no cytotoxicity towards ARPE-19 cells.CONCLUSION: SFN inhibits TGF-beta 2-stimulated migration and EMT in ARPE-19 cells, probably by preventing the establishment of actin stress fibers and Akt and Smad2/3 signaling.
