To mechanistically compare the effects of doxorubicin (DOX) and DOX conjugated with nanodiamonds (Nano-DOX) on human glioblastoma cells (GC).
MATERIALS & METHODS: GC viablity, proliferation and activation of apoptosis and autophagy was assayed in response to DOX and Nano-DOX. Expression and release of HMGB1 were measured and its role in apoptosis and autophagy probed in response to DOX and Nano-DOX. Results: DOX induced apoptosis in GC while Nano-DOX induced autophagy. Inhibition of autophagy in Nano-DOX-treated GC promoted apoptosis. DOX suppressed the emission of HMGB1 while Nano-DOX stimulated HMGB1 emission which was attenuated when autophagy was repressed. Blocking of HMGB1 emission mitigated autophagy and enhanced apoptosis in Nano-DOX-treated GC. Exogenously administered HMGB1 promoted autophagy and protected against apoptosis in both Nano-DOX-treated GC and DOX-treated GC.
Nano-DOX is a potent autophagy activator as opposed to DOX as an apoptosis inducer. Nano-DOX initiates a mutual reinforcement loop between autophagy and HMGB1 in GC and thereby protects GC against apoptosis.
从机制上比较阿霉素(DOX)和与纳米金刚石(Nano-DOX)偶联的 DOX 对人神经胶质瘤细胞(GC)的影响。
检测 DOX 和 Nano-DOX 对 GC 活力、增殖、凋亡和自噬激活的影响。检测 DOX 和 Nano-DOX 作用下 HMGB1 的表达和释放,并探讨其在凋亡和自噬中的作用。
DOX 诱导 GC 凋亡,而 Nano-DOX 诱导自噬。Nano-DOX 处理的 GC 中自噬抑制促进凋亡。DOX 抑制 HMGB1 的释放,而 Nano-DOX 刺激 HMGB1 的释放,自噬受到抑制时则减弱。阻断 HMGB1 的释放减轻了 Nano-DOX 处理的 GC 中的自噬并增强了凋亡。外源性给予 HMGB1 促进了自噬,并在 Nano-DOX 处理的 GC 和 DOX 处理的 GC 中均保护细胞免于凋亡。
与诱导凋亡的 DOX 相反,Nano-DOX 是一种有效的自噬激活剂。Nano-DOX 在 GC 中引发自噬和 HMGB1 之间的相互增强循环,从而保护 GC 免于凋亡。
