Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the effect of apoptin-loaded oncolytic adenovirus ATV infection on the autophagy and apoptosis of human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells. Methods: Apoptin- loaded oncolytic adenovirus ATV and the control virus Ad-MOCK (both were constructed previously) were transfected into HeLa cells. The effect of ATV infection on proliferation of HeLa cells was measured through WST-1 assay; The effect of ATV infection on apoptosis and cell cycle of HeLa cells was detected by flow cytometry; Western blotting was used to detect the effect of ATV infection on the expression of autophagy-related proteins (LC3, P62 and mTOR) in HeLa cells;MDC staining was used to detect the effect of ATV infection on autophagy of HeLa cells. Results: ATV infection inhibited HeLa cell proliferation in a time-dependent manner; and the inhibitory rate reached 59.26% with ATV 100 MOI at 72 h, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01); The apoptotic rate of HeLa cells in ATV group was significantly higher than that in control group[ (38.995±4.009)% vs(14.680±1.174)%,P<0.01] 48 h after infection. With the infection of ATV, flow cytometry analysis showed that the cell cycle of HeLa was blocked at S phase, which was most significant at 48 h and significantly higher than that in control group [ (58.490±2.447)% vs (43.235±4.419)%, P<0.05]. Western blotting revealed that after ATV infection, LC3 expression was gradually increase at 6, 12 h, with a highest level at 12 h(0.368±0.010,P<0.01)and a lowest level at 24 h (0.106 ± 0.023,P<0.01),P62 protein showed the highest expression level at 24 h(6.004 ± 1.423,P<0.01), while mTOR gradually reduced(0.042±0.010,48 h,P<0.01)with the extension of infection time; under fluorescent microscope,monodansylcadaverin (MDC) positive staining of autophagosomes was observed in the peripheral region of the nucleus of HeLa cells; the number of autophagosomes of ATV group was significantly increased as the ATV infection time prolonged; compared with control group, the number of autophagosomes of ATV group significantly increased at 6 h and 12 h [ (28.000±2.828) vs (8.500±2.121), (37.000±4.243) vs (14.000±1.414), P<0.01], but relatively reduced at 24 h [ (12.000±2.828) vs (17.000±1.414), P<0.01]. Conclusion: Apoptin-loaded oncolytic adenovirus ATV can promote the autophagy and apoptosis of human cervical cancer HeLa cells and then specifically kill tumor cells.
