7-Deoxynarciclasine shows promising antitumor efficacy by targeting Akt against hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract:

:Akt is a promising therapeutic target for cancer treatment. In our study, we have identified that 7-deoxynarciclasine (7-DONCS) is a potential inhibitor of Akt, which results in the repression of multiple oncogenic processes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We have found that 7-DONCS suppresses the growth of HCC by inducing the apoptotic and autophagic capacities, as well as by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro and in vivo. Pretreatment of cells with specific autophagy inhibitor (Bafilomycin A1) or knockdown of endogenous LC‐3B by siRNA strongly enhences 7‐DONCS‐regulated apoptosis and EMT. Consequently, we have found that 7-DONCS selectively inhibits phospho-Akt (Ser473), and subsequent molecular docking reveals that 7-DONCS directly binds to the C-terminal domain of Akt. Overexpressing Akt significantly blocks these effects via 7-DONCS in HCC cells. Furthermore, 7-DONCS, by targeting Akt, exhibits a promising therapeutic effect in orthotopic hepatocellular tumors. Finally, higher p-Akt expression is associated with poor prognosis, and higher level of Akt was positively correlated with the enrichment of both apoptosis and autophagy downregulation, and EMT upregulation in HCC patients. These studies suggest that 7-DONCS serves as an attractive drug candidate by targeting Akt for future HCC therapy.
