OBJECTIVE To explore whether diterpenoid 12-deoxyphorbol-13-palmitate (DP) from Euphorbia fischeriana can exert anti-leukemia effects through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signal pathway, and to provide experimental evidence for developing it into a new anti-leukemia drug. METHODS Using LY294002 (PI3K specific inhibitor) as tool drug, the effects of 24 h DP treatment on the proliferation and apoptosis of human myeloid leukemia HL60 cells were detected by MTT method, Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI staining and AO-EB staining. ELISA method was used to detect lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release and the activities of cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3 (caspase-3) and caspase-9. The transcriptional level of caspase-3, caspase-9, forkhead box O3a (FoxO3a) and B cell lymphoma 2 interacting mediator of cell death (Bim) mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The protein expression of phosphorylated FoxO3a (p- FoxO3a) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) were detected by Western blot method. The nuclear translocation of FoxO3a protein was detected by immunostaining combined with laser confocal microscopy. RESULTS 10 μmol/L DP and 10 μmol/L DP+LY294002 could inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of HL60 cells (P<0.01). After treatment of 5, 10, 20 μmol/L DP, HL60 cells showed typical morphological characteristics of apoptosis; DP could significantly increase the levels of LDH release and the activities of caspase-3 and caspase-9 (P<0.05 or P<0.01), in dose-dependent manner. After treatment of 10 μmol/L DP and 10 μmol/L DP+LY294002, the transcriptional levels of caspase-3, caspase-9 and Bim mRNA were increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and transcriptional level of FoxO3a mRNA and protein expressions of p-FoxO3a and p-Akt were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Nuclear translocation changes were observed in FoxO3a protein in 10 μmol/L DP+LY294002 group, and the change was more significant than that of LY294002 group. CONCLUSIONS DP can inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of HL60 cells via inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
