Lipophilized Epigallocatechin Gallate Derivative Exerts Anti-Proliferation Efficacy through Induction of Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis on DU145 Human Prostate Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the predominant tea polyphenol and it exhibits a hydrophilic character. The lipophilized EGCG derivative (LEGCG) was synthesized by enzymatic esterification of EGCG with lauric acid to enhance its bioactivity. The tetralauroyl EGCG was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and further identified as 3', 5', 3?, 5?-4-O-lauroyl EGCG by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. The anti-proliferation effect of LEGCG on DU145 human prostate carcinoma cells was evaluated by MTT assay. In addition, the underlying molecular mechanism by which LEGCG exerts anti-proliferation efficacy was elucidated by flow cytometry and immunoblot analysis. Results suggested that LEGCG exhibited a dose-dependent anti-proliferation effect on DU145 cells by G0/G1 phase arrest and induction of apoptosis. LEGCG induced cell cycle arrest via p53/p21 activation, which down-regulated the cyclin D1 and CDK4 expression. In addition, LEGCG induced apoptosis by increasing the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, the cytochrome c release, and the caspases cleavage on DU145 cells. The results provide theoretical support to prevent prostate cancer with LEGCG.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the second leading cause of cancer‑related death worldwide due to its aggressive nature. After surgical resection, >50% of patients with CRC require adjuvant therapy. As a result, eradicating cancer cells with medications is a promising method to treat patients with CRC. In the present study, a novel compound was synthesized, which was termed compound 225#. The inhibitory activity of compound 225# against CRC was determined by MTT assay, EdU fluorescence labeling and colony formation assay; the effects of compound 225# on the cell cycle progression and apoptosis of CRC cells were detected by flow cytometry and western blotting; and the changes in autophagic flux after the administration of compound 225# were detected using the double fluorescence fusion protein mCherry‑GFP‑LC3B and western blotting. The results demonstrated that compound 225# exhibited antiproliferative properties, inhibiting the proliferation and expansion of CRC cell lines in a time‑ and dose‑dependent manner. Furthermore, compound 225# triggered G2/M cell cycle arrest by influencing the expression of cell cycle regulators, such as CDK1, cyclin A1 and cyclin B1, which is also closely related to the activation of DNA damage pathways. The cleavage of PARP and increased protein expression levels of PUMA suggested that apoptosis was triggered after treatment with compound 225#. Moreover, the increase in LC3‑II expression and stimulation of autophagic flux indicated the activation of an autophagy pathway. Notably, compound 225# induced autophagy, which was associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In accordance with the in vitro findings, the in vivo results demonstrated that compound 225# effectively inhibited the growth of HCT116 tumors in mice without causing any changes in their body weight. Collectively, the present results demonstrated that compound 225# not only inhibited proliferation and promoted G2/M‑phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, but also initiated cytoprotective autophagy in CRC cells by activating ER stress pathways. Taken together, these findings provide an experimental basis for the evaluation of compound 225# as a novel potential medication for CRC treatment.
