| الوصف: | Acetylshikonin, a naphthoquinone, is a pigment compound derived from Arnebia sp., which is known for its anti-inflammatory potential. However, its anticarcinogenic effect has not been well investigated. Thus, in this study, we focused on investigating its apoptotic effects against HCT-15 and LoVo cells, which are human colorectal cancer cells. MTT assay, cell counting assay, and colony formation assay have shown acetylshikonin treatment induced cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects against colorectal cancer cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. DNA fragmentation was observed via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Also, the increase of subG1 phase in cell cycle arrest assay and early/late apoptotic rates in annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) double staining assay was observed, which indicates an apoptotic potential of acetylshikonin against colorectal cancer cells. 2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA) staining was used to evaluate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in acetylshikonin-treated colorectal cancer cells. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis showed that acetylshikonin induced an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and apoptotic rate in a dose- and time-dependent manner in HCT-15 and LoVo cells. In contrast, cotreatment with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) has reduced ROS generation and antiproliferative effects in colorectal cancer cells. Western blotting analysis showed that acetylshikonin treatment induced increase of cleaved PARP, γH2AX, FOXO3, Bax, Bim, Bad, p21, p27, and active forms of caspase-3, caspase-7, caspase-9, caspase-6, and caspase-8 protein levels, while those of inactive forms were decreased. Also, the expressions of pAkt, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, peroxiredoxin, and thioredoxin 1 were decreased. Furthermore, western blotting analysis of cytoplasmic and nuclear fractionated proteins showed that acetylshikonin treatment induced the nuclear translocation of FOXO3, which might result from DNA damage by the increased ... |
