Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The function of autophagy in cisplatin-treated cancer cells is not fully understood. Cisplatin treatment induced degradation of ubiquitinated proteins by autophagy, which reduced apoptosis induced by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and downregulated the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Inhibition of autophagy using 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or chloroquine (CQ) increased the levels of intracellular misfolded proteins, which enhanced cellular apoptosis. We found that tunicamycin, an ER stress inducer, augmented cisplatin cytotoxicity by upregulating ER stress-mediated apoptosis. Our data indicates that autophagy plays an important role in preventing cisplatin-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells, thus inhibition of autophagy may improve cisplatin chemotherapy.
