Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis. It is reported that the PI3K/Akt pathway
is activated in many cancers, and inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway can induce
cell apoptosis in most cancers. Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is also overexpressed
in most malignancies, and it controls multiple aspects of mitosis and apoptosis.
Previous studies identified that PI3K/Akt-dependent phosphorylation of Plk1-Ser99
is required for metaphase-anaphase transition. In this study, we aimed to
investigate the molecular mechanism of PI3K/Akt pathway regulating cell
proliferation and apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell lines (AsPC-1, BxPC-3,
PANC-1). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to assess Akt levels in human
pancreatic tissues and pancreatic cancer tissues. MTT assay was used to detect
cell proliferation. The mRNA was quantified by quantitative reverse
transcription-PCR. Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein levels of
p-Akt, Akt, Plk1, BAX, Bcl-2, XIAP, cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-3. Recombinant
adenovirus vector containing Plk1-shRNA was constructed to inhibit Plk1
expression. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and the apoptosis of
tumor xenograft was assessed by TUNEL assay. The study showed that inhibition of
PI3K/Akt pathway can induce cell apoptosis and reduce cell proliferation by
downregulating Plk1 in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, Plk1 inhibition can lead
to cancer cell apoptosis through inactivating XIAP, activating caspase-3,
upregulating BAX and downregulating Bcl-2. Therefore, this study provided the
molecular mechanism of PI3K/Akt pathway and Plk1 in the pancreatic cancer cell
proliferation and apoptosis, which may benefit for the therapy of pancreatic
cancer.
