N-acetylcysteine (NAC) inhibits cell growth by mediating the EGFR/Akt/HMG box-containing protein 1 (HBP1) signaling pathway in invasive oral cancer.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) gene in the squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN) is often associated with inauspicious prognosis and poor survival. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a compound from some vegetables and allium species, appears anti-tumorigenesis, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. The objective of this study is to investigate the role of NAC in EGFR-overexpressing oral cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Both HSC-3 and SCC-4 human tongue squamous carcinoma cell lines and an HSC-3 xenograft mouse model were used to test the anti-growth efficacy of NAC in vitro and in vivo, respectively. RESULTS:NAC treatment suppressed cell growth, with concomitantly increased expression of HMG box-containing protein 1 (HBP1), a transcription suppressor, and decreased EGFR/Akt activation, in EGFR-overexpressing HSC-3 oral cancer cells. HBP1 knockdown attenuated the growth arrest and apoptosis induced by NAC. Lastly, NAC and AG1478, an EGFR inhibitor, additively suppressed colony formation in HSC-3 cells. CONCLUSION:Taken together, our data indicate that NAC exerts its growth-inhibitory function through modulating EGFR/Akt signaling and HBP1 expression in EGFR-overexpressing oral cancer.
