The most malignant type of tumor in the brain is high-grade gliomas. Glioblastoma (GB), a grade 4 glioma, has the lowest 5-year survival rate and is associated with poor prognosis. An important signaling pathway involved in the pathogenesis of GB is the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Therefore, our study aimed to investigate how exosomes obtained from GB cells applied with different doses of hesperidin (HSP) affect miR- 9 and change the PDK1/AKT/mTOR pathway. For this purpose, T98G cells were treated with different doses (5, 10, 25, and 50 µg/mL) of HSP in combination with temozolomide (TMZ- 10 µg/mL). At the end of 24 h, cell viability, flow cytometry, and biochemical tests were performed. Additionally, exosomes were isolated from cells belonging to the control, TMZ, and high-concentration TMZ-HSP groups. miR- 9, PDK1, PTEN, AKT- 1, Bax, Bcl- 2, and Caspase 3 genes were expressed in both application groups and exosomes belonging to these groups. HSP was found to reduce the viability of GB cells significantly. The viability was significantly reduced, especially in the TMZ-HSP 50 µg/mL group. Depending on the dose, there was a significant increase in the LDH level and oxidative stress level. The apoptosis level was approximately 26% in the TMZ-HSP 50 µg/mL group. Along with all this, gene expressions changed at the exosomal level, and miR- 9 and miR- 146 levels increased. Similarly, it changed the expression of proteins related to the PDK1/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway at the exosomal level (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the TMZ-HSP combination showed anticancer effects in T98G cells, influenced exosome profiles, and appeared non-toxic and potentially beneficial to healthy cells, highlighting its potential therapeutic value.
脑内最恶性的肿瘤类型是高级别胶质瘤。胶质母细胞瘤(GB)作为4级胶质瘤,5年生存率最低且预后较差。参与GB发病机制的一条重要信号通路是雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mTOR)。因此,我们的研究旨在探究从给予不同剂量橙皮苷(HSP)的GB细胞中获得的外泌体如何影响miR-9并改变PDK1/AKT/mTOR通路。为此,T98G细胞用不同剂量(5、10、25和50μg/mL)的HSP联合替莫唑胺(TMZ - 10μg/mL)处理。24小时结束时,进行细胞活力、流式细胞术和生化检测。此外,从属于对照组、TMZ组和高浓度TMZ - HSP组的细胞中分离出外泌体。miR-9、PDK1、PTEN、AKT-1、Bax、Bcl-2和Caspase 3基因在这两个应用组及其所属的外泌体中均有表达。发现HSP能显著降低GB细胞的活力。活力显著降低,尤其是在TMZ - HSP 50μg/mL组。根据剂量不同,乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)水平和氧化应激水平显著升高。TMZ - HSP 50μg/mL组的凋亡水平约为26%。与此同时,外泌体水平的基因表达发生变化,miR-9和miR-146水平升高。同样,它在外泌体水平改变了与PDK1/AKT/mTOR信号通路相关的蛋白质表达(p < 0.05)。总之,TMZ - HSP联合用药在T98G细胞中显示出抗癌作用,影响外泌体谱,且对健康细胞似乎无毒且具有潜在益处,突出了其潜在的治疗价值。
