Regulation of Nrf2 signaling during the antitumoral activity of Sorafenib in hepatoma cells
FREE RADICAL BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE(2017)
摘要
Introduction Sorafenib is the accepted treatment for patients in advanced stage of hepatocarcinoma. Goal: The study evaluated the regulation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), Nrf2, oxidative/nitrosative stress, autophagy, cell proliferation and apoptosis by Sorafenib. Methods: The study includes in vitro and in vivo experimental designs. Results: Sorafenib induced ERS, Thr183JNK/JNK and transient autophagy that was followed by apoptosis, and reduction of cell proliferation. Sorafenib reduced dose-dependent nitric oxide, O2.- and H2O2 generation, and S-nitrosylated, carbonylated and tyrosine nitrated proteins. Sorafenib reduced S-nitrosylation of cell death receptors that shifted caspase-8- to caspase-3-related apoptosis. Sorafenib decreased luciferase activity in control, VEGF- and PDGF-stimulated ARE-Luc-transfected HepG2, and went down the expression of Nrf2-related redox genes. The reduction of Nrf2 signaling was related to increased Ser9GSK3β/Tyr216GSK3β. The in vivo study confirmed the antitumoral properties and molecular signaling of Sorafenib in xenograft mice model. Conclusions: 1) Sorafenib induced ERS, autophagy and apoptosis in Sorafenib-treated HepG2. 2) Sorafenib reduced Nrf2-dependent signaling through regulation of GSK3β activity. 3) Nrf2 signaling and thioredoxin were involved in the reduction of S-nitrosylation of cell death receptor by Sorafenib.
