槲皮苷通过抑制PI3K/AKT信号通路诱导胃癌SGC7901细胞凋亡

目的:探讨槲皮苷是否通过抑制PI3K/AKT信号通路诱导人胃癌SGC7901细胞凋亡。方法:选取SGC7901细胞作为研究对象,采用MTT法检测槲皮苷对SGC7901细胞的毒性作用并测定IC50值。实验分为对照组(不加药处理)、槲皮苷组(采用200μmol/L槲皮苷处理)、PI3K/AKT通路激动剂胰岛素样生长因子1(IGF-1)组(采用100μg/L IGF-1处理)和槲皮苷+IGF-1组(采用200μmol/L槲皮苷+100μg/L IGF-1共处理)。处理48 h后,采用流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡,Western blot法检测cleaved caspase-3、p-AKT(Ser473)、AKT、p-PI3K(Tyr508)和PI3K的蛋白水平。结果:从100μmol/L开始,随着槲皮苷处理浓度的逐渐升高,SGC7901细胞活力显著降低(P 0. 05),槲皮苷作用48 h的IC50值为275. 40μmol/L。200μmol/L槲皮苷作用SGC7901细胞48 h后,与对照组比较,细胞凋亡率和cleaved caspase-3蛋白水平显著上升(P 0. 05),p-AKT和p-PI3K蛋白水平显著降低(P 0. 05),然而IGF-1与槲皮苷共同作用时,IGF-1可逆转槲皮苷对SGC7901细胞的作用效果。结论:槲皮苷能够诱导胃癌SGC7901细胞凋亡,其作用机制可能与抑制PI3K/AKT信号通路的激活有关。

Quercitrin promotes apoptosis of gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 by inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling pathway

AIM: To investigate whether quercitrin induces apoptosis of gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 by inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. METHODS: The human gastric cancer SGC7901 cells were selected as the research object. The cytotoxicity of quercitrin was detected by MTT assay, and IC₅₀ value of quercitrin was calculated. The SGC7901 cells were divided into control group, quercitrin group (incubated with 200 μmol/L quercitrin), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) group (incubated with 100 μg/L IGF-1) and quercitrin+IGF-1 group (incubated with 200 μmol/L quercitrin and 100 μg/L IGF-1). After 48 h, the apoptosis of SGC7901 cells was analyzed by flow cytometry, and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, p-AKT (Ser473), AKT, p-PI3K (Tyr508) and PI3K were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The viability of SGC7901 cells was significantly decreased as the concentration of quercitrin increased, starting at 100 μmol/L (P<0.05). The IC₅₀ value of quercitrin for 48 h was 275.40 μmol/L. After treatment with 200 μmol/L quercitrin for 48 h, the apoptosis rate and the protein level of cleaved caspase-3 in quercitrin group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the phosphorylated levels of AKT and PI3K were significantly decreased compared with control group (P<0.05). Treatment with quercitrin and IGF-1 inhibited the effect of quercitrin on SGC7901 cells compared with quercitrin group. CONCLUSION: Quercitrin may induce apoptosis of gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 by inhibiting the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
