Despite the increasing understanding of the pathogenesis of glioblastoma (GBM), treatment options for this tumor remain limited. Recently, the therapeutic potential of natural compounds has attracted great interest. Thus, dietary flavonoids quercetin (QCT) and kaempferol (KMF) were investigated as potential cytostatic agents in GBM. Moreover, the physicochemical properties of QCT and KMF, determining their bioavailability and therapeutic efficiency, were evaluated. We proved that both polyphenols significantly reduced the viability of GBM cells. We also demonstrated that both QCT and KMF evoked the cytotoxic effect in T98G cells via induction of apoptotic cell death as shown by increased activity of caspase 3/7 and caspase 9 together with an overexpression of the cleaved form of PARP. Apoptosis was additionally accompanied by the activation of stress responses in QCT- and KMF-treated cells. Both polyphenols caused oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, as demonstrated by the increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), deregulated expressions of superoxide dismutases (SOD2 and on protein and transcriptomic levels, respectively), as well as an overexpression of ERO1α, GRP78, p-JNK, and an up-regulation of , and genes. The antitumor effect of QCT and KMF was also confirmed in vivo, showing reduced growth of tumor xenografts in the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) experiment. Moreover, electrophoretic light scattering (ELS) was used to measure the zeta potential of cell membranes upon exposition to QCT and KMF. Additionally, on the basis of existing physicochemical data, the drug-likeness score of QCT and KMF was evaluated. Analyses showed that both compounds accomplish Lipinski's Rule of 5, and they both fit into the criteria of good central nervous system (CNS) drugs. Altogether, our data support the idea that QCT and KMF might be plausible candidates for evaluation as therapeutic agents in preclinical models of glioblastoma.
尽管人们对胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)的发病机制有了越来越多的了解,但这种肿瘤的治疗选择仍然有限。最近,天然化合物的治疗潜力引起了极大的兴趣。因此,膳食类黄酮槲皮素(QCT)和山柰酚(KMF)被研究为 GBM 的潜在细胞生长抑制剂。此外,还评估了 QCT 和 KMF 的物理化学性质,这些性质决定了它们的生物利用度和治疗效率。我们证明了这两种多酚都能显著降低 GBM 细胞的活力。我们还证明,QCT 和 KMF 通过诱导细胞凋亡导致 T98G 细胞的细胞毒性作用,这表现为 caspase 3/7 和 caspase 9 的活性增加以及 PARP 的裂解形式的过表达。凋亡还伴随着 QCT 和 KMF 处理细胞中应激反应的激活。两种多酚均引起氧化应激和内质网(ER)应激,这表现为活性氧(ROS)生成增加,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD2 和 分别在蛋白质和转录组水平上的表达失调),以及 ERO1α、GRP78、p-JNK 的过表达和 、 和 基因的上调。QCT 和 KMF 的抗肿瘤作用也在体内得到了证实,鸡胚绒毛尿囊膜(CAM)实验显示肿瘤异种移植物的生长减少。此外,还使用电泳光散射(ELS)测量了细胞膜在暴露于 QCT 和 KMF 时的 ζ 电位。此外,基于现有物理化学数据,评估了 QCT 和 KMF 的类药性评分。分析表明,这两种化合物都符合 Lipinski 的 5 规则,并且都符合良好中枢神经系统(CNS)药物的标准。总的来说,我们的数据支持这样一种观点,即 QCT 和 KMF 可能是作为胶质母细胞瘤临床前模型治疗剂进行评估的合理候选物。
