Chlorella vulgaris, a unicellular microalgae, exerts various biological effects; however their effect on proliferation signaling pathways in normal cells has not been studied. We investigated the effect of hot water extracts of Chlorella vulgaris (CVE) on cell proliferation and related signaling pathways in rat intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6). CV E increased the expression of insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) and the phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Src. In addition, CV E induced activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathways. We Trifled the increased phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-related kinase (ERK) and Akt and the increased expression of the P13K regulatory subunit p85. CVE also influenced the canonical Wnt pathway through increased expression of the nuclear beta-catenin, cyclin D1. Tyr-397 of FAK mediates interactions with Src homology 2 (SH2) domains in a number of other signaling proteins, including PI3K, PLC-gamma, She. Grb7, Src and Nck2. Because CV E induced FA K activation, FA K may affect the Wnt pathway. Addition of a FAK inhibitor decreased the expression of nuclear beta-catenin, cyclin D1 and c-myc, and increased the expression of cytosolic beta-catenin. We conclude that CVE stimulated proliferation of IEC-6 cells via the MAPK, PI3K/Akt and canonical Wnt pathways, and that this affected the canonical Wnt pathway.
