[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the effect of tanshinone IIA on radiotherapy sensitivity of human esophageal carcinoma cells, and explore its potential mechanism based on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Methods The human esophageal cancer Eca-109 cells was used as test cells, which were treated with different concentrations of tanshinone IIA and different radiation doses respectively. 48 h later, the cell proliferation activity was detected by MTT method, the half-inhibitory concentration of IC50 tanshinone IIA (as the concentration of tanshinone IIA for follow-up experiments) and IC50 radiation (as the radiation dose for follow-up experiments) were calculated respectively. Take the Eca-109 cells in logarithmic growth period and set blank group, tanshinone IIA group, radiation group, tanshinone IIA + radiation group, tanshinone IIA + radiation + PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) group. The cloning ability, proliferation activity, apoptosis rate, and autophagy were detected by plate cloning assay, MTT assay, flow cytometry or fluorescent plasmid transfection. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway related mRNA and protein expression were detected by RT-PCR or Western blotting method. Results Both tanshinone IIA and radiation showed dose-dependent inhibitory effects on the proliferation of human esophageal cancer Eca-109 cells. The IC50 tanshinone IIA was 8.75 mmol/L, and the IC50 radiation was 4.63 Gy. Compared with the control group, the clonogenesis ability and proliferation activity of tanshinone IIA group, radiation group, tanshinone IIA+ radiation group and Tanshinone IIA + radiation + LY294002 group were significantly decreased, the apoptosis rate and autophagosome number were significantly increased (P < 0.05). The mRNA expressions of PI3K, Akt, mTOR were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The protein expression of PI3K, Akt, mTOR were significantly decreased. The protein expression of Bcl-2, Bax, Cleaved Caspase-3, LC3-I, LC3-II, and the expression ratios of Bax/Bcl-2, Cleaved Caspase-3/Caspase-3, LC3-II/LC3-I were significantly increased (P < 0.05). Compared with tanshinone IIA group or radiation group, the regulation effect of tanshinone IIA + radiation group and tanshinone IIA+ radiation + LY294002 group on the detection indexes was significantly enhanced (P < 0.05). Compared with tanshinone IIA+ radiation group, the regulation effect of tanshinone IIA+ radiation + LY294002 group was significantly enhanced (P < 0.05). Conclusions Tanshinone IIA may inhibit cell proliferation, promote apoptosis and autophagy by down-regulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, thus enhancing the radiotherapy sensitivity of human esophageal cancer cells.
