Cytotoxic effects of (R)-4'-methylklavuzon were investigated on hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HuH-7 and HepG2) and HuH-7 EpCAM/CD133 cancer stem cells. IC of (R)-4'-methylklavuzon was found as 1.25 μM for HuH-7 parental cells while it was found as 2.50 μM for HuH-7 EpCAM/CD133 cancer stem cells. (R)-4'-methylklavuzon tended to show more efficient in vitro cytotoxicity with its lower IC values on hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines compared to its lead molecule, goniothalamin and FDA-approved drugs, sorafenib and regorafenib. Cell-based Sirtuin/HDAC enzyme activity measurements revealed that endogenous Sirtuin/HDAC enzymes were reduced by 40% compared to control. SIRT1 protein levels were upregulated indicating triggered DNA repair mechanism. p53 was overexpressed in HepG2 cells. (R)-4'-methylklavuzon inhibited CRM1 protein providing increased retention of p53 and RIOK2 protein in the nucleus. HuH-7 parental and EpCAM/CD133 cancer stem cell spheroids lost intact morphology. 3D HepG2 spheroid viabilities were decreased in a correlation with upregulation in p53 protein levels.
(R)-4'-甲基克拉维酮对肝癌细胞(HuH-7 和 HepG2)和 HuH-7 EpCAM/CD133 癌症干细胞的细胞毒性作用进行了研究。(R)-4'-甲基克拉维酮对 HuH-7 亲本细胞的 IC 为 1.25 μM,而对 HuH-7 EpCAM/CD133 癌症干细胞的 IC 为 2.50 μM。与先导分子戈尼辛和 FDA 批准的药物索拉非尼和regorafenib 相比,(R)-4'-甲基克拉维酮在肝癌细胞系中的体外细胞毒性作用更为有效,其 IC 值较低。基于细胞的 Sirtuin/HDAC 酶活性测量显示,与对照组相比,内源性 Sirtuin/HDAC 酶减少了 40%。SIRT1 蛋白水平上调表明触发了 DNA 修复机制。p53 在 HepG2 细胞中过表达。(R)-4'-甲基克拉维酮抑制 CRM1 蛋白,从而增加 p53 和 RIOK2 蛋白在核内的保留。HuH-7 亲本和 EpCAM/CD133 癌症干细胞球体失去完整形态。3D HepG2 球体的活力与 p53 蛋白水平的上调呈正相关。
