| Objective:To study the relationship between the autophagy of human leukemia K562 cells induced by diallyl disulfide(DADS)and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.Methods:K562 cells were treated with 20,40 mg.L-1 DADS for 24h or K562cells were treated with 40 mg.L-1 DADS for 12,24h.After treatment,the expression levels of Akt,p-Akt,P70S6K,p-P70S6K and LC3 protein were detected by western blotting.Treated K562 cells with 40mg.L-1 DADS,Akt inhibitor(MK-2206)alone or two drug combined treated K562 cells for 24h,the expression levels of Akt,p-Akt and LC3 protein were detected by western blotting.Control groups were used as references.Results:1.The expression of p-Akt and p-P70S6K protein in K562 cells treated with 20,40 mg.L-1DADS were significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).The total protein Akt and P70S6K were no significant difference(P>0.05).The expression level of autophagy-related protein(LC3)was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05),and the highest in the 40mg.L-1DADS group(P<0.05).2.The relative expression of p-Akt and p-P70S6K protein in K562 cells treated with 40mg.L-1DADS for 12,24h was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).The expression of LC3 protein was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05),and the expression of Akt,P70S6K were not significantly different(P>0.05).3.In the DADS group,pathway inhibitor group and the combination group the relative expression levels of p-Akt,p-P70S6K protein were both lower than the control group(P<0.05);The expression of total Akt,P70S6K protein were not significantly different(P>0.05).In the DADS group,pathway inhibitor group and the combination group the relative expression levels of LC3protein was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05)and the combination group was the highest group(P<0.05).Conclusion:DADS induces the autophagy of K562 cells,and its mechanism is related to DADS inhibits the activation of key proteins Akt,P70S6K in the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. |
