目的 基于过氧化物还原酶1(peroxiredoxin 1,PRDX1)研究粉防己碱调控磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶(phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase,PI3K)/蛋白激酶B(protein kinase B,Akt)/糖原合成激酶-3β(glycogen synthesizing kinase-3β,GSK-3β)信号通路诱导乳腺癌细胞铁死亡的作用机制。方法 人乳腺癌MCF-7细胞转染PRDX1 siRNA后,给予粉防己碱干预,考察粉防己碱对MCF-7细胞增殖、凋亡、迁移和侵袭能力的影响;检测丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)、Fe2+、细胞内及线粒体活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)、线粒体膜电位和线粒体膜孔通透性;采用Western blotting和qRT-PCR检测电压依赖性阴离子通道1(voltage-dependent anion channel 1,VDAC1)、p53、PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β信号通路及核转录因子E2相关因子(nuclear factor E2-related factor 2,Nrf2)/血红素加氧酶-1(heme oxygenase-1,HO-1)通路相关蛋白及基因的表达。结果 粉防己碱可呈剂量相关性抑制MCF-7细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭并诱导细胞凋亡(P<0.01),升高细胞及线粒体内ROS、MDA和Fe2+水平(P<0.01),加剧脂质过氧化,降低线粒体膜电位(P<0.01),提高线粒体膜孔通透性(P<0.01),上调HO-1、p53、GSK-3β和VDAC1的表达(P<0.01),下调Nrf2、PI3K、p-PI3K、Akt和p-Akt的表达(P<0.01)。敲低PRDX1基因可显著增强粉防己碱的上述作用(P<0.01)。结论 粉防己碱通过调控PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β信号通路诱导MCF-7细胞发生线粒体相关性铁死亡,且PRDX1在其中发挥关键的调控作用。

[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the mechanism by which tetrandrine regulates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) signaling pathway to induce ferroptosis in breast cancer cells based on peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1). Methods Human breast cancer MCF-7 cells transfected with PRDX1 siRNA were treated with tetrandrine to examine its effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), Fe2+, intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial membrane permeability were measured. Western blotting and qRT-PCR were used to detect the expressions of voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), p53, PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway related proteins and genes. Results Tetrandrine dose-dependently inhibited MCF-7 cell proliferation, migration and invasion while inducing apoptosis (P < 0.01), increased intracellular and mitochondrial ROS, MDA and Fe2+ levels (P < 0.01), aggravated lipid peroxidation, reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0.01), enhanced mitochondrial membrane permeability (P < 0.01), upregulated HO-1, p53, GSK-3β and VDAC1 expressions (P < 0.01), downregulated Nrf2, PI3K, p-PI3K, Akt and p-Akt expressions (P < 0.01). Knockdown of PRDX1 gene significantly amplified these effects of tetrandrine (P < 0.01). Conclusion Tetrandrine induces mitochondria-associated ferroptosis in MCF-7 cells via PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway, with PRDX1 playing a critical regulatory role.
