Objective: To investigate the effects of VEGF and bFGF induced by estrogen on PI3K/AKT pathway of endometrial cancer Ishikawa cells. Methods: (1)Western blot was used to detect the expression of phosphorylation AKT (p-AKT) protein in Ishikawa cell after stimulated with different concentrations of estradiol (0.01,0.1,1,10,100 μmol/L) for 30 mim. (2) There were 3 groups in the experiment:(1)control group;(2)E2 group; (3) Inhibitor+ E2 group: including BIBFll20 + E2 group, Ponatinib + E2 group and LY294002+ E2 group. And then mRNA level of VEGF,bFGF,PI3K,AKT and its relative protein respectively detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. Flow cytometry was used to examine the change of cell cycle, and transwell assay was used to detect the cell migration in different groups. Results: (1)The expression of the p-AKT protein at 0. 01,0.1,1,10,100 μmol/L E2 were significantly higher than that of control group, and when the concentration of E2 was 1 μmol/L, the expression of p-AKT was highest( P 〈0.05).(2) The mRNA levels of VEGF, bFGF, PI3K, AKT and the protein of VEGF,p-PI3K,p-AKT in E2 group were higher than that of control group( P〈0.05). The mRNA of PI3K and AKT ,and the protein of p- PI3K,p-AKT in BIBF1120+E2 group,Ponatinib+E2 group and LY294002-t-E2 group were together lowerthan that of Ez group( P d0.05). (3)Compared with the control group, the results of cell cycle of E2 group showed that percentage of G1 phase was decrease and S phase was significantly increase ( P〈 0.05). But when compared with E2 group, opposite result showed in LY294002 + E2 group, BIBF1120 + E2 group or ponatinib+E2group (P 〈0. 05). Transwell assay also showed that the number of cell migration in E2 group was higher than that of control group but significantly lower than that of LY294002+E2 group, BIBF1120+E2 group or Ponatinib+E2 group ( P 〈0.05). Conclusion: VEGF and bFGF induced by E2 can active PI3K/AKT pathway ,and then promote
