Our previous study has shown that phloretin induces apoptosis in human glioblastoma. In this study, we found that phloretin induced autophagy in SH-SY5Y cells by decreasing p-AKT and p-mTOR levels in the AKT/mTOR pathway and increasing the activation of JNK, the phosphorylation of c-Jun and the expression of Beclin-1. Moreover, the upregulation of Beclin-1 was decreased by SP600125 or a siRNA against c-Jun. Furthermore, SP600125 and siRNAs against c-Jun and Beclin-1 inhibited phloretin-induced autophagy. In addition, inhibition of phloretin-induced autophagy by cotreatment with phloretin and 3-MA decreased phloretin-induced cytotoxicity to SH-SY5Y cells. In conclusion, our results suggest that the AKT/mTOR pathway and JNK-mediated Beclin-1 expression are involved in phloretin-induced autophagy.

From the database, we found that SHARPIN was amplified in ovarian cancer compared to normal ovarian tissue, and the mRNA level of SHARPIN was significantly elevated in ovarian cancer compared to non-tumorigenic ovarian tissue. In addition, we observed similar results from ovarian cancer cell lines and clinical samples from ovarian cancer patients, which indicated that increased SHARPIN expression is associated with tumorigenesis in ovarian cancer. SHARPIN knockdown inhibited the migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells, also inhibited cell cycle and promoted apoptosis, thereby suppressing cell proliferation. RNA-seq results showed that SHARPIN significantly increased the expression of P53 and P21 and decreased the expression of Cyclin D1 and c-Myc, all of which are involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. Subsequent mechanistic exploration revealed that SHARPIN knockdown increased the expression of caspases 3 and 9, leading to apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells. We also found that high expression of SHARPIN was associated with poor prognosis of ovarian cancer patients.
