Sodium selenite inhibits the growth of cervical cancer cells through the PI3K/AKT pathway
Background
Selenium can inhibit cervical cancers, but the specific mechanism of anti-cervical cancer is not fully understood.
Methods
In this study, we investigated the anti-cervical cancer effect of sodium selenite (SS) in vivo and in vitro to reveal the role of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway in terms of the mechanism. In vivo experiments, HeLa cell xenografts were constructed in BALB/c female nude mice, and then intraperitoneally injected with 3 mg/kg sodium selenite (SS) for 14 days. In vitro experiments, we detected cell viability by MTT assay and apoptosis by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. The levels of PI3K, AKT, phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K), and phosphorylated Akt (p-AKT) were measured by Western Blot.
Results
HeLa cell xenografts in female nude mice showed delayed tumor growth and no apparent toxicity in the liver or kidney. SS reduced the viability and increased apoptosis of HeLa and SiHa cells. SS did not affect PI3K and AKT levels and decreased p-PI3K and p-AKT levels. In addition, the results also revealed that the SS combined with LY294002, a specific PI3K inhibitor, enhanced the inhibitory effect of SS on the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, further inhibiting cervical cancer cell viability and increased apoptosis.
Conclusions
SS exerted its anti-cervical cancer effects by inhibiting cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, and inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides the reader with a thorough description of theoretical and applied aspects of trace elements in medicine and biology and is devoted to the advancement of scientific knowledge about trace elements and trace element species. Trace elements play essential roles in the maintenance of physiological processes. During the last decades there has been a great deal of scientific investigation about the function and binding of trace elements. The Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology focuses on the description and dissemination of scientific results concerning the role of trace elements with respect to their mode of action in health and disease and nutritional importance. Progress in the knowledge of the biological role of trace elements depends, however, on advances in trace elements chemistry. Thus the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology will include only those papers that base their results on proven analytical methods.
Also, we only publish those articles in which the quality assurance regarding the execution of experiments and achievement of results is guaranteed.
