Pinus densiflora sieb. et zucc. (pine needle) is a traditional medicine used in several East Asian countries. However, the efficacy of pine needle has rarely been reported. In this study showed that the anti-proliferative effects and the mechanisms of hexane layer of pine needle MeOH extract (PNH) on gastric cancer cells. At first, PNH inhibited the proliferation of gastric cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, PNH treatment induced G1 phase cell cycle arrest through the increased p27 KIP1 expression and decreased cyclin dependent kinase (CDKs) activity. Furthermore, PNH treatment induced premature senescence without oncogenic stress, through the expression of p27 KIP1 and Skp2. Taken together, these results showed that PNH inhibited gastric cancer cell proliferation through the induction of G1-cell cycle arrest and premature senescence via induced p27 KIP1 expression, as controlled by Skp2 reduction. Also, PNH could be a candidate for anti-gastric cancer treatment and may be useful in the development of anti-gastric cancer drugs.
