Abstract

Purpose

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most aggressive squamous cell carcinomas and is generally resistant to chemotherapy. In the present study, the cytotoxic activity of Rabdocoestin B (Rabd-B) against ESCC and the underlying mechanisms were investigated.

Methods

The inhibitory effect of Rabd-B on KYSE30 and KYSE450 was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) and colony formation assays in vitro. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of cells treated with Rabd-B were determined by flow cytometry. The mechanisms underlying the effects of Rabd-B were systematically examined by Western blot. The in vivo anti-tumor ability of Rabd-B was measured in mouse xenograft models and cisplatin (DDP) was used as positive control.

Results

Rabd-B efficiently induced G2/M phase arrest in ESCC cells by upregulating the Chk1/Chk2-Cdc25C axis to inhibit the G2→M transition facilitated by Cdc2/Cyclin B1. Furthermore, Rabd-B suppressed ATM/ATR phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting BRCA1-mediated DNA repair, which resulted in mitotic catastrophe and induced cell apoptosis. Rabd-B also decreased the activity of the Akt and NF-κB survival signaling pathways and ultimately initiated the caspase-9-dependent intrinsic apoptotic pathway in ESCC cells. The apoptosis induced by Rabd-B could be partially reversed by a caspase-9-specific inhibitor (Z-LEHD-FMK) and a pan-caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD-FMK). Moreover, Rabd-B effectively suppressed tumor growth in mouse xenografts which was comparable to that of DDP without significant injuries to the mice.

Conclusion

Taken together, these findings indicate that Rabd-B is a promising precursor compound that may be useful as a treatment for ESCC and thus warrants further investigation.
