Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of 3-hydroxy-β-carboline, an alkaloid metabolite in the marine fungus Aspergillus sp. XBB-4, on apoptosis induction in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. METHODS HCC cells were treated with different concentrations of 3-hydroxy-β-carboline for 48 h with 0.1% DMSO as the control group. MTT assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of 3-hydroxy-β-carboline on proliferation of HCC cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of 3-hydroxy-β-carboline on apoptosis of HCC cells, and the expression of apoptosis related proteins PARP, cleaved caspase-3 and anti-apoptotic protein Bcl2 was detected by Western blot. Then changes of intracellular ROS levels and phosphorylation levels of ERK, AKT and SARP/JNK were respectively detected by flow cytometry and Western blot. The effects of ROS blockers on 3-hydroxy-β-carboline mediated apoptosis were also detected. RESULTS 3-Hydroxy-β-carboline significantly inhibited proliferation of HCC cells, up-regulated expression of protein PARP cleavage and cleaved caspase-3, down-regulated expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl2, and induced apoptosis using flow cytometry. 3-Hydroxy-β-carboline induced intracellular ROS level in HCC cells, while phosphorylation level of signaling pathways protein ERK1/2 was reduced. Meanwhile, liproxstatin-1, a lipid ROS inhibitor or NAC could antagonize apoptosis of HepG2 cells or SMMC7721 cells induced by 3-hydroxy-β-carboline. CONCLUSION 3-Hydroxy-β-carboline can inhibit the proliferation of HCC cells, increase intracellular ROS level and induce apoptosis.
