A novel ECG analog 4-(S)-(2,4,6-trimethylthiobenzyl)-epigallocatechin gallate selectively induces apoptosis of B16-F10 melanoma via activation of autophagy and ROS.
Scientific Reports 2017 Februrary 11
Autophagy-induced cancer cell death has become a novel strategy for the development of cancer therapeutic drugs. Numerous studies have indicated that green tea polyphenols induce both autophagy and apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells. Here, we synthesized a series of green tea polyphenol analogues, among which JP8 was shown to potently activate autophagy. JP8 treatment had a stronger effect on apoptosis in B16-F10 melanoma cells than that in normal AML-12 hepatocytes. JP8 selectively resulted in reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in B16-F10 cells, and this effect was associated with corresponding increases in key components of the ER stress-mediated apoptosis pathway. Pharmacological inhibition of ROS by N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) attenuated JP8-induced autophagy and apoptosis, indicating an upstream role of ROS in JP8-induced autophagy. An in vivo study showed that JP8 had significant antitumor effects in a B16-F10 xenograft mouse model. Our results indicate that JP8 is a novel anticancer candidate with both autophagy and ROS induction activities.
