Vitamin C affects G0/G1 cell cycle and autophagy by downregulating of cyclin D1 in gastric carcinoma cells
BIOSCIENCE BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY(2021)
Abstract
Vitamin C has re-emerged as a promising anticancer agent. This study attempts to analyze the differential gene expression of profiles GSE11919 to look for some clues, and the most significant cell cycle pathway caused by vitamin C was identified by integrated bioinformatics analysis. Inspired by this, we investigated the effect of vitamin C treatment on gastric carcinoma cells by detection of cell cycle, apoptosis, and autophagy. Vitamin C significantly elevated the percentage of cells at G0/G1 phase, whereas the percentage of S phase cells was decreased. Meanwhile, vitamin C treatment resulted in downregulation of cell cycle-related protein Cyclin D1. We deduced that the downregulation of Cyclin D1 by vitamin C accompanied by significantly increased 5 ' AMP-activated protein kinase and induced autophagy in MKN45 cells. These results suggest that vitamin C has the antiproliferation effect on gastric carcinoma cells via the regulation of cell cycle and autophagy by Cyclin D1.
