Mechanisms of Resveratrol Inhibiting Glycolysis in Glioblastoma Cells through G6PC
-
摘要:
目的 探讨白藜芦醇(resveratrol,RES)是否通过调控G6PC抑制胶质母细胞瘤(glioblastoma,GBM)细胞的糖酵解过程,并阐明其具体分子机制。 方法 分别用RES处理GBM细胞A172、U87 MG和U118 MG并在细胞中转染sh-NC、sh-G6PC、pcDNA-NC和pcNA-G6PC。通过CCK-8、试剂盒和Annexin V-FITC/PI细胞凋亡检测试剂盒探讨白藜芦醇和G6PC对A172、U87 MG和U118 MG细胞糖酵解的作用;通过Western blot、试剂盒和RT-qPCR检测RES对G6PC表达的调控作用。 结果 在A172、U87 MG和U118 MG胶质母细胞瘤细胞中,RES(20 μM、50 μM和100 μM)处理显著抑制糖酵解(P < 0.05)、降低细胞活力(P < 0.05)并诱导凋亡(P < 0.05)。这些细胞中G6PC表达水平高于人星形胶质细胞(P < 0.001),且RES可下调G6PC蛋白表达(P < 0.01)。敲低G6PC可模拟RES的抗肿瘤效应(抑制糖酵解、降低活力、促进凋亡,P < 0.05),而过表达G6PC则相反。此外,RES能增强敲低G6PC的抑制作用,并逆转过表达G6PC对糖酵解的促进。 结论 RES通过下调G6PC表达,抑制GBM细胞的糖酵解过程,从而抑制细胞增殖并促进细胞凋亡。 Abstract:Objective To investigate whether resveratrol (RES) inhibits glycolysis in glioblastoma (GBM) cells by regulating G6PC and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods GBM cell lines A172, U87 MG, and U118 MG were treated with RES and transfected with sh-NC, sh-G6PC, pcDNA-NC, and pcDNA-G6PC, respectively. The effects of RES and G6PC on glycolysis, cell viability, and apoptosis in these cells were assessed using CCK-8 assay, specific assay kits, and Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection kit. Western blot, assay kits, and RT-qPCR were employed to examine the regulatory role of RES on G6PC expression. Results RES treatment (20 μM, 50 μM, and 100 μM) significantly inhibited glycolysis (P < 0.05), reduced cell viability (P < 0.05), and induced apoptosis (P < 0.05) in A172, U87 MG, and U118 MG glioblastoma cells. G6PC expression levels in these cells were higher than in human astrocytes (P < 0.001), and RES downregulated G6PC protein expression (P < 0.01). G6PC knockdown mimicked the anti-tumor effects of RES (inhibiting glycolysis, reducing viability, and promoting apoptosis, P < 0.05), while G6PC overexpression showed the opposite effects. Additionally, RES enhanced the inhibitory effects of G6PC knockdown and reversed the glycolysis-promoting effect induced by G6PC overexpression. Conclusion RES inhibits glycolysis in GBM cells by downregulating G6PC expression, thereby suppressing cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis. -
