Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was the third most common cause of cancer death. But it has only limited therapeutic options, aggressive nature, and very low overall survival. Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), an anti-malarial drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), inhibited cell growth in HCC. The Warburg effect was one of the ten new hallmarks of cancer. Solute carrier family 2 member 1 (SLC2A1) was a crucial carrier for glucose to enter target cells in the Warburg effect. Yes-associated transcriptional regulator 1 (YAP1), an effector molecule of the hippo pathway, played a crucial role in promoting the development of HCC. This study sought to determine the role of DHA in the SLC2A1 mediated Warburg effect in HCC. In this study, DHA inhibited the Warburg effect and SLC2A1 in HepG2215 cells and mice with liver tumors in situ. Meanwhile, DHA inhibited YAP1 expression by inhibiting YAP1 promoter binding protein GA binding protein transcription factor subunit beta 1 (GABPB1) and cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1). Further, YAP1 knockdown/knockout reduced the Warburg effect and SLC2A1 expression by shYAP1-HepG2215 cells and Yap1LKO mice with liver tumors. Taken together, our data indicated that YAP1 knockdown/knockout reduced the SLC2A1 mediated Warburg effect by shYAP1-HepG2215 cells and Yap1LKO mice with liver tumors induced by DEN/TCPOBOP. DHA, as a potential YAP1 inhibitor, suppressed the SLC2A1 mediated Warburg effect in HCC.
