The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the anti-cancer property of Lobetyolin on colorectal cancer and explore its potential mechanism. Lobetyolin was incubated with HCT-116 cells in the absence or presence of ASCT2 inhibitor Benser or p53 inhibitor Pifithrin-α. The levels of glutamine, glutamic acid, α-ketoglutarate, ATP and GSH were determined to measure the glutamine metabolism Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and TUNEL assay were applied to estimate the apoptotic condition. The levels of ASCT2 were examined by RT-qPCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence staining. The expressions of cleaved-caspase-3, caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-7, caspase-7, cleaved-PARP, PARP, p53, p21, bax and survivin were detected using Western blot anal. As a result, the treatment with Lobetyolin effectively induced apoptosis and glutamine metabolism in HCT-116 cells through ASCT2 signalling. The inhibition of ASCT2 reduced the glutamine-related biomarkers and augmented the apoptotic process. We further found that the effect of Lobetyolin on HCT-116 was related to the expressions of p21 and bax, and transportation of p53 to nucleus. The inhibition of p53 by Pifithrin-α promoted the inhibitory effect of Lobetyolin on ASCT2-mediated apoptosis. Lobetyolin also exerted anti-cancer property in nude mice. In conclusion, the present work suggested that Lobetyolin could induce the apoptosis via the inhibition of ASCT2-mediated glutamine metabolism, which was possibly governed by p53. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 2-(2-Imino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazol-3-yl)-1-p-tolylethanone Hydrobromide (cas: 63208-82-2Category: thiazole).
2-(2-Imino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazol-3-yl)-1-p-tolylethanone Hydrobromide (cas: 63208-82-2) belongs to thiazole derivatives. Thiazoles in peptides or their ability to bind proteins, DNA and RNA has led to many synthetic studies and new applications. Electrophilic attack at nitrogen depends on the presence of electron density at nitrogen as well as the position and nature of substituent linked to the thiazole ring.Category: thiazole
