Flavopereirine Inhibits Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Growth by Inducing Cell-cycle Arrest, Apoptosis, and Autophagy-related Protein Expression.

Anticancer Res. 2020 Dec;40(12):6907-6914

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver. Resistance to chemotherapy and side-effects remain a challenge for treating advanced and recurrent HCC. Therefore, there is an emerging need to develop new drugs to treat HCC.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated the anti-growth activity of flavopereirine in HepG2 and Huh7 HCC cell lines. Cell viability, cell-cycle profile, apoptosis, and autophagy-related protein expressions were analysed after flavopereirine treatment.
RESULTS: Flavopereirine treatment induced G0/G1 cell-cycle arrest, with an increase of sub-G1 cells detected at the higher concentration and longer exposure to flavopereirine in HCC cells. Intrinsic and extrinsic pathways were involved in flavopereirine-induced apoptosis, as demonstrated by an increase of cleaved caspase 8 and 9 by western blotting. An alteration of autophagy-related protein expression was also found after flavopereirine treatment.
CONCLUSION: Taken together, the current results indicate that flavopereirine exhibits good anticancer activity in HCC cells.
