Abstract:
AIM To investigate the effects of ampelopsin-mediated autophagy and apoptosis of human cervical cancer SiHa cells.METHODS After 24 h corresponding administration and culture among the control group,the 3-MA (5 mmol/L) group,the Z-VAD-FMK (50μmol/L) group,the ampelopsin (80μmol/L) group,the 3-MA+ampelopsin group and the Z-VAD-FMK+ampelopsin group,the cells had their cell proliferation inhibition rate detected by MTT method.After 24 h corresponding administration and culture among the control group,the 3-MA (5 mmol/L) group,the ampelopsin (80 μmol/L) group and the 3-MA+ampelopsin group,the cells had their morphological changes observed under electron microscope and their apoptosis detected by Hoechst33258 and AnnexinV-FITC/PI staining.After 24 h corresponding administration and culture among the control group,the Z-VAD-FMK (50μmol/L) group,the ampelopsin (80μmol/L) group and the Z-VAD-FMK+ampelopsin group,the cells had their autophagy and ultrastructure observed by MDC method and transmission electron microscopy.After 12 h corresponding administration and culture among the control group,the 3-MA (5 mmol/L) group,the ampelopsin (80 μmol/L) group,the 3-MA+ampelopsin group or control group,the Z-VAD-FMK (50 μmol/L) group,the ampelopsin (80 μmol/L) group,and the Z-VAD-FMK+ampelopsin group,the cells had their protein expressions of cleaved-PARP,cleaved-Caspase3,Bax,Bcl-2,Atg13,Beclin-1,LC3,and P62 detected by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the control group,the ampelopsin group displayed enhanced proliferation inhibition of SiHa and C-33A cells (P<0.01).Compared with the ampelopsin group,the groups intervened with 3-MA+ampelopsin and Z-VAD-FMK+ampelopsin showed more significantly inhibited proliferation of the two cell lines (P<0.01),and decreased number of living cells.Compared with the ampelopsin group,the 3-MA+ampelopsin group showed increased bright blue fluorescence and apoptosis rate of SiHa cells (P<0.05),increased cleaved PARP,Bax,and P62 protein expressions (P<0.01),and decreased LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ ratio and Bcl-2 protein expression (P<0.01).Compared with the ampelopsin group,the Z-VAD-FMK+ampelopsin group demonstrated increased green dot fluorescence and number of autophagosomes and autopolysosomes,increased LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ ratio,Atg13 and Beclin-1 protein expression (P<0.05,P<0.01);and decreased protein expressions of P62,cleaved-PARP,cleaved-Caspase3 (P<0.05,P<0.01).CONCLUSION Being an antagonist of human cervical carcinoma SiHa cells,ampelopsin can induce autophagy and apoptosis of the cells through its key target on Beclin-1/Bcl-2.
