Abstract | Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Osimertinib (OSI, also known as AZD9291)-induced autophagy and apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cells. Methods: The accumulations of cytoplasmic vacuoles were observed through inverted microscope. The expressions of proteins were detected through western blot. The formations of GFP-LC3 and mRFP-GFP-LC3 puncta were observed by using fluorescence microscope. ROS generation was detected by using fluorescent probe CM-DCFH2-DA. The apoptotic cells were detected by using annexin V-FITC/PI staining and western blot assays. The cell viability was detected through 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay. Results: We indicated for the first time that OSI increased the accumulations of cytoplasmic vacuoles, the expression of phosphatidylethanolamine-modified microtubule-associated protein light-chain 3 (LC3-II), and the formation of GFP-LC3 puncta in various cancer cells. OSI-induced expression of LC3-II was increased when combined with chloroquine (CQ), an autophagy inhibitor, and the mRFP-GFP-LC3 plasmid-transfected cells exposed to OSI led to the production of red-fluorescent puncta, indicating OSI induced autophagic flux in NSCLC cells. Knockdown of EGFR showed no effect on OSI-induced LC3-II expression in NCI-H1975 cells. In addition, OSI increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and scavenge of ROS via pretreatment with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) significantly inhibited OSI-induced accumulations of cytoplasmic vacuoles, expression of LC3-II, as well as formation of GFP-LC3 puncta. Combinative treatment with CQ could not remarkably change OSI-induced cell viability decrease, whereas OSI-induced cell viability decrease and apoptosis could be reversed through pretreatment with NAC. Conclusion: This is the first report that OSI-induced an accompanied autophagy and the generation of ROS is critical for OSI-induced autophagy, cell viability decrease, and apoptosis in NSCLC cells. |
