Shikonin ( A375.S2 ) N 2 1 2 - AF 1 3 1 4 2 3 4 The Inhibitory Function of Shikonin on N-acetylation of 2-aminofluorene in Human Malignant Melanoma Cells (A375.S2) Shang-Wen Yuan1 Guang-Wei Chen2 Jui-Lung Shen1 Huei-Lin Chang3 Jing-Gung Chung4 Shikonin is one of the components of Lithospermum erythrorhizon (Chinese herb medicine) used for skin infection and allergy for many generations in the Chinese population. In this study, shikonin was used to determine the inhibition of N-acetylation of 2-aminofluorene (2-AF) in human malignant melanoma cell line (A375.S2). The amounts of N-acetylation and non-N-acetylation of 2-AF were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results demonstrated that N-acetylation of AF from examined systems were decreased by shikonin in a dose-dependent manner. We also found out that shikonin inhibited the expression of NAT1 gene. Apparently shikonin inhibited N-acetylation of 2-AF in human malignant melanoma cell line. These are the first findings to show shikonin affect N - acetylation of 2 - aminofluorene of human malignant melanoma cell line ( A375.S2 ).
