Florfenicol-induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction Suppresses Cell Proliferation and Autophagy in Fibroblasts
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS(2017)
摘要
Florfenicol (FLO) is one of the most popular antibiotics used in veterinary clinic and aquaculture. FLO can inhibit both bacterial and mitochondrial protein synthesis. However, the effects of FLO on mitochondrial function and cellular homeostasis remain unclear. Here we show that FLO inhibits expression of mitochondrial DNA-encoded proteins, decreases mitochondrial membrane potential, and promotes generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vitro . As a result, activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I and IV and the cellular ATP level are decreased and mitochondrial morphology is damaged. FLO represses cell growth and proliferation by suppression of phosphorylation of p70S6K through AMPK/mTOR/p70S6K pathway. Furthermore, FLO also induces G0/G1 cell cycle arrest via increase of p21 levels through activating ROS/p53/p21 pathway. Moreover, the clearance of damaged mitochondria by autophagy is impaired, leading to cell proliferation inhibition and promotes cell senescence. In addition, FLO-induced upregulation of cytosolic p53 may contribute to mitophagy deficiency via regulation of Parkin recruitment. In summary, our data suggest that florfenicol is an inhibitor of mitochondrial protein synthesis that can induce noticeable cytotoxicity. Thus, these findings can be useful for guiding the proper use of FLO and the development of safe drugs.
