HeLa cells up-regulate Beclin1/autophagy pathway to confer resistance to doxorubicin
To investigate the role of doxorubicin (DOX) in the induction of protective autophagy in HeLa cells and explore the possible mechanism of DOX resistance.
Methods
2
HeLa cells were treated with DOX at different doses (0
2
4
8 and 16 mg/L) for 24 h
and the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. The mRNA levels of autophagy-related genes were assessed using qRT-PCR
and the protein levels were detected by Western blotting. After Beclin1 was knockdowned through siRNA
the effect of DOX on cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. The effect of DOX on the promoter activity of Beclin1 in HeLa cells was assessed using the reporter gene assay after transfection with a plasmid containing Beclin1 promoter. The stability of Beclin1 mRNA was analyzed with qPCR in HeLa cells after treatment with DOX alone or DOX combined with the transcription inhibitor actinomycin D.
Results
2
DOX inhibited the cell viability in HeLa cells in a dose-dependent manner. DOX also induced protective autophagy in HeLa cells. Inhibition of autophagy enhanced the sensitivity of HeLa cells to DOX. DOX treatment resulted in special up-regulation of Beclin1 at both mRNA and protein levels in HeLa ce
lls (
P
<
0.05). Knockdown of Beclin1 significantly increased DOX-triggered proliferation suppression in HeLa cells. DOX treatment did not significantly affect the promoter activity of Beclin1
but obviously lowered the mRNA stability of Beclin1 in HeLa cells.
Conclusion
2
DOX may induce drug resistance in HeLa cells through enhancing the Beclin1/autophagy pathway.
