3-Methyladenine Impairs Anoikis Resistance of Pancreatic Cancer SW1990 Cells Through Inhibiting Autophagy In Vitro[J]. Journal of Sun Yat-sen University (Medical Sciences), 2013, 34(2).DOI:
【Objective】 To investigate the effect and mechanism of 3methyladenine (3MA) on proliferation
migration
and autophagy of human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990. 【Methods】 The experimental objects were pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 and human immortalized
nontumorigenic pancreatic ductal epithelial cell line H6C7. We divided them into the control group and 3MA group. Acquisition of anoikis resistance cells was obtained by soft agar clone culture and polyHEMA suspension culture. Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin VFITC/PI and TUNEL. Autophagy assay was measured by immunofluorescence and electronic microscope. Cell proliferation ability was detected by CCK8. Transwell assay was performed to examine the migration ability. 【Results】 Compared with H6C7 cells (no clones formation)
pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells (2.3± 2.63) in treatment group
(9 ± 3) in control group showed anoikis resistance (P < 0.05). 3MA could inhibit autophagy of SW1990 cells under electronic microscope (P < 0.05)
which could also inhibit the proliferation and migration ability of SW1990 cells (P < 0.01) and impair anoikis resistance (P < 0.01).【Conclusion】 3MA may induce anoikis of pancreatic cancer cell SW1990 through autophagy inhibition.
