AB44. Akt inhibition attenuates rasfonin (A304)-induced autophagy and casapase-dependent apoptosis via mTOR complex signaling in renal cancer cells
نویسنده
چکیده
Rasfonin (A304) was originally extracted from the Taleromyces sp. and Trichurus terrophilus , and was found to have the inhibitory activity on cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanism of its regulatory role in autophagy and programmed cell death remains largely unknown. In present study, the A304-induced cell death was first detected using human renal cancer cell line ACHN. A304 caused cell viability loss of ACHN in a time and dosedependent manner. This finding was confirmed by colony growth in a survival assay, in which A304 was found to kill the cell depending on the stimulus concentration. Flow cytometry data revealed that the A304-induced cell death of ACHN could be either apoptotic or necrotic (may be either necrosis or secondary necrosis). Using electron and confocal microscopy, we demonstrate that A304 enhances the formation of autophagosome. In immunoblotting assay, we observed that treatment with A304 increased the ratio of LC3-II to actin relative to the control in a concentration dependent manner. Meanwhile, we found that p62/

Transl Androl Urol, Vol 3, Suppl 1 September 2014 www.amepc.org/tau © Translational Andrology and Urology. All rights reserved. SQSTM1, which is considered to be a selective substrate of autophagy and will be accumulated when autophagy is inhibited, was decreased in A304-exposed cells. Although Akt inhibition attenuates A304-induced autophagy, apoptosis and second necrosis, yet, it failed to re...

Objective(s): Eupafolin, a major active component of Eupatorium perfoliatum L., has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is responsible for myocardial depression. A line of evidences revealed that LPS induces autophagy in cardiomyocytes injury. This study aims to evaluate the effects of eupafolin on LPS-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy...

Introduction Thyroid cancer is a malignant disease with poor prognosis. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4 (CDK4) pathways are vital regulators of tumor cell proliferation and survival. Therefore the present study was designed to use dual inhibition of such pathways to kill thyroid cancer cells. Methods and materials The effects of each inhibitors on human ATC and...
