Plumbagin (5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone; PLB), a naturally occurring
naphthoquinone isolated from the roots of Plumbaginaceae plants, has been
reported to possess anticancer activities in both in vitro and in vivo studies,
but the effect of PLB on tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is not fully
understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of PLB on cell cycle
distribution, apoptosis, and autophagy, and the underlying mechanisms in the
human TSCC cell line SCC25. The results have revealed that PLB exerted potent
inducing effects on cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and autophagy in SCC25 cells.
PLB arrested SCC25 cells at the G2/M phase in a concentration- and time-dependent
manner with a decrease in the expression level of cell division cycle protein 2
homolog (Cdc2) and cyclin B1 and increase in the expression level of p21
Waf1/Cip1, p27 Kip1, and p53 in SCC25 cells. PLB markedly induced apoptosis and
autophagy in SCC25 cells. PLB decreased the expression of the anti-apoptotic
proteins B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xl) while
increasing the expression level of the pro-apoptotic protein Bcl-2-associated X
protein (Bax) in SCC25 cells. Furthermore, PLB inhibited phosphatidylinositol 3
kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR),
glycogen synthase kinase 3? (GSK3?), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase
(p38 MAPK) pathways as indicated by the alteration in the ratio of
phosphorylation level over total protein expression level, contributing to the
autophagy inducing effect. In addition, we found that wortmannin (a PI3K
inhibitor) and SB202190 (a selective inhibitor of p38 MAPK) strikingly enhanced
PLB-induced autophagy in SCC25 cells, suggesting the involvement of PI3K- and p38
MAPK-mediated signaling pathways. Moreover, PLB induced intracellular reactive
oxygen species (ROS) generation and this effect was attenuated by l-glutathione
(GSH) and n-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC). Taken together, these results indicate that
PLB promotes cellular apoptosis and autophagy in TSCC cells involving p38 MAPK-
and PI3K/Akt/mTOR-mediated pathways with contribution from the GSK3? and
ROS-mediated pathways.
