Abstract
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic mechanism to maintain energy homeostasis and to remove damaged cellular components, which plays an important role in the survival of various cells. Inhibiting autophagy is often applied as a new strategy to halt the growth of cancer cells. The effect of FOXO1 gene on cellular function and apoptosis and its underlying mechanisms were investigated in cultured QBC939 cells by the methylthiazoletetrazolium (MTT) assay, western blot, DCFDA mitochondrial membrane potential, and ATP content measurement. FOXO1 siRNA was applied to down-regulate FOXO1 expression in QBC939 cells. Here we reported that FOXO1, acetylation of FOXO1 (Ac-FOXO1) and the following interaction between Ac-FOXO1 and Atg7 regulated the basal and serum starvation (SS)-induced autophagy as evidenced by light chain 3 (LC3) accumulation and p62 degration. Either treatment with FOXO1 siRNA or resveratrol, a sirt1 agonist, inhibited autophagic flux, resulting in oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction (MtD) and apoptosis in QBC939 cells, which were attenuated by enhancing autophagy with rapamycin. On the contrary, inhibiting autophagic flux with 3-MA worsened all these effects in QBC939 cells. Taken together, our stu...Continue Reading
