Reactive oxygen species-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to polydatin-induced apoptosis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE cells

Previous studies revealed that polydatin, a natural small compound, possessed protective effect against ischemia/reperfusion injury and inflammation. However, the action and molecular mechanism of its potent anti-cancer activity remain poorly understood. In the present study, polydatin significantly killed several human tumor cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The compound also dose-dependently caused mitochondrial apoptosis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE cells. In addition, polydatin triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and down-regulated the phosphorylation of Akt in CNE cells, while knock-down of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) dramatically abrogated the inactivation of Akt and reversed the pro-apoptotic effect of polydatin. Furthermore, polydatin provoked the generation of reactive oxygen species in CNE cells, while the antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine almost completely blocked the activation of ER stress and apoptosis, suggesting polydatin-induced reactive oxygen species is an early event that triggers ER stress mitochondrial apoptotic pathways in CNE cells. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest that polydatin might be a promising anti-tumor drug and our data provide the molecular theoretical basis for clinical application of polydatin.     

STGC3 inhibits xenograft tumor growth of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by altering the expression of proteins associated with apoptosis

STGC3 is a potential tumor suppressor that inhibits the growth of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE2; the expression of this protein is reduced in nasopharyngeal carcinoma compared with normal nasopharyngeal tissue. In this study, we investigated the tumor-suppressing activity of STGC3 in nude mice injected subcutaneously with Tet/pTRE-STGC3/CNE2 cells. STGC3 expression was induced by the intraperitoneal injection of doxycycline (Dox). The volume mean of Tet/pTRE-STGC3/CNE2+Dox xenografts was smaller than that of Tet/pTRE/CNE2+Dox xenografts. In addition, Tet/pTRE-STGC3/CNE2+Dox xenografts showed an increase in the percentage of apoptotic cells, a decrease in Bcl-2 protein expression and an increase in Bax protein expression. A proteomic approach was used to assess the protein expression profile associated with STGC3-mediated apoptosis. Western blotting confirmed the differential up-regulation of prohibitin seen in proteomic analysis. These results indicate that overexpression of STGC3 inhibits xenograft growth in nude mice by enhancing apoptotic cell death through altered expression of apoptosis-related proteins such as Bcl-2, Bax and prohibitin. These data contribute to our understanding of the function of STGC3 in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma and provide new clues for investigating other STGC3-associated tumors.

Inhibition of EGF expression and NF-κB activity by treatment with quercetin leads to suppression of angiogenesis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

The present study was performed to investigate the effect of quercetin on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) angiogenesis. The real-time RT-PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were performed to analyze the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines prior to and after the quercetin treatment. Effect of quercetin on the rate of cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. It was observed that quercetin treatment at a concentration of 10 mg/mL reduced the rate of NPC039 cell viability to 36% compared to control after 24 h. The expression of VEGF and activity of NF-κB was also markedly reduced. The ability of tube formation in HUVECs was inhibited significantly on exposure to quercetin compared to the untreated cells. Therefore, quercetin plays an important role in the inhibition of NPC039 nasopharyngeal carcinoma and can be of therapeutic importance.
