Effect of Taraxerol in Inducing Autophagy in Breast Cancer Cells via mTOR Signaling Pathway
To investigate the effect of taraxerol on autophagy of breast cancer MCF-7 cells
in vitro
and explore the related mechanisms.
Method:
2
The effect of various doses of taraxerol (12.5
25
50
100
200 μmol·L
-1
) on proliferation of MCF-7 cells was detected by methye thiazolye telrazlium (MTT) assay. The autophagy-inducing effect of taraxerol was observed by acridine orange staining
transmission electron microscope (TEM) and immunofluorescence. The expressions of autophagy-related proteins and the changes of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway were determined by Western blot analysis.
Result:
2
The viability of MCF-7 cells was significantly inhibited by taraxerol. Acridine orange staining indicated that the acidic lysosomes increased significantly after treatment with taraxerol in MCF-7 cells. The autophagic structure in the treated group was observed by TEM. Immunofluorescence showed that the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) in the cells of the drug group was increased. Western blot demonstrated that the protein expressions of LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1 were increased in taraxerol-treated MCF-7 cells (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
respectively. Compared with 100 μmol·L
-1
taraxerol group
combination group (taraxerol + 3-methyladenine
3-MA) showed the down-regulation of LC3-Ⅱ in the MCF-7 cells (
P
<
0.05). And expressions of phosphorylated mammal target of rapamycin (p-mTOR) and phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (p-4EBP1) were decreased in MCF-7 cells after treatment with taraxerol (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Taraxerol can induce autophagy in MCF-7 cells
which may be related to the inhibition of mTOR signaling pathway.
