ABSTRACT

Rapamycin, a secondary metabolite produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus, is known for its pharmacological effects, especially antitumor and immunosuppressive activities. However, the antitumoral effects of rapamycin in human esophageal cancer (EC) are still poorly understood. To investigate the potential of rapamycin in EC treatment, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) mRNA expression was quantified in the tissue of patients with EC or in EC cell lines using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The protein levels of SIRT1 and PI3K/AKT/mTOR were measured via western blotting. Furthermore, cell viability, migration and invasion were investigated by Cell Counting Kit-8, wound healing and Transwell assays, respectively. The present results suggested that SIRT1 expression was upregulated in EC. In vitro, the inhibitory effect of r apamycin on cell viability in EC was strengthened or weakened after small interfering (si)-SIRT1 or pcDNA3.1/SIRT1 transfection. Furthermore, SIRT1 rescued the inhibitory effect of rapamycin on the migration and invasion of EC cells. In vivo, si-SIRT1 or SIRT1 overexpression in mice could enhance or rescue the inhibitory effects of rapamycin on tumor growth. In addition, SIRT1 transfection rescued the decreased level of phosphorylated (p)-PI3K, p-AKT and p-mTOR induced by rapamycin treatment. Taken together, the present results suggested that rapamycin suppressed the cell viability, migration, invasion and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in EC by negatively regulating SIRT1.
