Mechanism of (-)-gossypol down-regulating B lymphocyte stimulator expression in Namalwa cells via autophagy
Objective To explore the mechanism of (-)-gossypol down-regulating B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) expression in human B-cell lymphoma cell line Namalwa. Methods The growth inhibition of Namalwa cells by (-)-gossypol was detected by CCK8 (cell counting kit-8) kit and trypan blue staining. Cell autophagy was analyzed by observing the autophagosome formation by acridine orange (AO) staining. The expression levels of BLyS and LC3 were detected by Western blotting. Results The growth of Namalwa cells was significantly inhibited by (-)-gossypol in a time- and dose-dependent manner. After the (-)-gossypol treatment
the amount of autophagosomes dramatically increased. The expression level of LC3 II was up-regulated and the expression level of BLyS was down-regulated in Namalwa cells after the treatment with (-)-gossypol
and this effect could be significantly attenuated by 3-methyladenine (3-MA). Conclusion (-)-gossypol may inhibit the growth of B lymphocytes through autophagy-medicated BLyS down-regulation.
