AIM: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In this study, we explored the anti-cancer activity of WYC02-9, a synthetic protoapigenone, on human HCT116 CRC cells.
MAIN METHODS: The anti-cancer activity of WYC02-9 and its underlying mechanisms were analyzed using XTT cell proliferation assays, colony formation assays, FACS analysis, annexin V staining, immunoblotting analysis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation assays, soft agar assays, a nude mice xenograft study and immunohistochemistry assays.
KEY FINDINGS: Data showed that WYC02-9 suppressed CRC cell growth by arresting cells at G2/M and inducing cell death via apoptotic pathways. Further analysis demonstrated that WYC02-9-induced apoptosis was mediated by the activation of a ROS-mediated MAPK14 pathway. An in vivo xenograft study revealed that WYC02-9 enhanced MAP2K3/6 and MAPK14 phosphorylation, induced apoptosis, and suppressed CRC tumor growth.
SIGNIFICANCE: WYC02-9 exerts its anti-tumor effect via ROS/MAPK14-induced apoptosis and has the potential to be developed as a chemotherapeutic agent for CRC.
