Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a crucial role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. Hypoxia and excessive transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) have been identified as inducers and target for EMT in HCC. Here, we show hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and TGF-β form a feed-forward loop to induce EMT in HCC cells. Further mechanistic study indicates under both hypoxia and TGF-β stimulation, Smad and PI3K-AKT pathways are activated. We show sanguinarine, a natural benzophenanthridine alkaloid, impairs the proliferation of nine kinds of HCC cell lines and the colony formation of HCC cells. In hypoxic and TGF-β cell models, sanguinarine inhibits HIF-1α signaling and the expression of EMT markers, translocation of Snail and activation of both Smad and PI3K-AKT pathways. Sanguinarine could also inhibit TGF-β-induced cell migration in HCC cells. In vivo studies reveal that the administration of sanguinarine inhibits tumor growth and HIF-1α signaling, inhibits the expression changes of EMT markers as well as Smad and PI3K-AKT pathway proteins. Our findings suggest that sanguinarine is a promising candidate targeting HIF-1α/TGF-β signaling to improve the treatment for HCC patients.

血红素碱通过靶向肝细胞癌中的HIF-1α/TGF-β前馈环来抑制上皮-间质转化。

上皮-间质转化(EMT)在肝细胞癌(HCC)的进展中起着至关重要的作用。缺氧和过度转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)已被确定为肝癌EMT的诱导剂和靶标。在这里,我们显示缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)和TGF-β形成前馈环,以诱导HCC细胞中的EMT。进一步的机理研究表明,在缺氧和TGF-β刺激下,Smad和PI3K-AKT途径均被激活。我们显示sanguinarine,一种天然的苯并菲啶生物碱,损害了9种HCC细胞系的增殖和HCC细胞的集落形成。在缺氧和TGF-β细胞模型中,sanguinarine抑制HIF-1α信号传导和EMT标记物的表达,Snail的易位以及Smad和PI3K-AKT通路的激活。血红素还可以抑制TGF-β诱导的HCC细胞迁移。体内研究表明,使用血红素碱可抑制肿瘤生长和HIF-1α信号传导,抑制EMT标记以及Smad和PI3K-AKT途径蛋白的表达变化。我们的发现表明,血红素碱是靶向HIF-1α/TGF-β信号转导的有望改善肝癌患者治疗的候选药物。
