Analysis of Mechanism of Artesunate in Treatment of Liver Cancer Based on Metabolomics
To study on the antitumor mechanism of artesunate in the treatment of liver cancer based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
Method:
2
CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay was used to detect activity of artesunate with different concentrations (0
12.5
25
50
100 μmol·L
-1
) on human liver cancer Huh7
SMMC-7721 cells for 24
48
72 h. GC-MS was employed to analyze the changes of metabolites of artesunate in two kinds of hepatoma cells (Huh7
SMMC-7721) for 24 h. The data was preprocessed by Postrun Analysis 4.41 workstation. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used to analyze two sets of differential metabolites and to analyze metabolic pathways of differential metabolites based on MetaboAnalyst 3.0 software.
Result:
2
Compared with the normal group
after two kinds of liver cancer cells was treated by artesunate
a total of 39 identical metabolites in the cells have undergone significant changes
which were mainly related to five metabolic pathways
including biosynthesis of aminoacyl-transfer RNA (tRNA)
metabolism of alanine
aspartic acid and glutamic acid
metabolism of glycine
serine and threonine
metabolism of arginine and proline
metabolism of glutathione.
Conclusion:
2
Artesunate (12.5-100 μmol·L
-1
) can inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells (Huh7
SMMC-7721)
it mainly involves five metabolic pathways
which may be the pathway of artesunate against liver cancer.
