Recently we isolated CN-3, a new asterosaponin from starfish Culcita novaeguineae, and reported that asterosaponin arrests glioma cell cycle via SCUBE3. However, the multiple mechanisms underlying CN-3 anti-glioma action remains poorly known. Thus, the focus of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of CN-3 on human glioma cells and its underlying molecular mechanisms. U87 and U251 cells were incubated with various concentrations of CN-3, and CCK-8, transmission electron microscopy, ICELLigence, TUNEL, flow cytometry, N-acetyl-<small>L</small>-cysteine, and western blot were conducted. As a result, it was found that CN-3 significantly inhibited U87 and U251 cell viability and proliferation in a time- and dose- dependent manner, and also induced mitochondrial apoptosis. Furthermore, we detected that CN-3 downregulated PI3K, P-Akt, AKT and BCL-2, and upregulated cytochrome C and BAX in U87 and U251 cells. Moreover, ROS triggered the inhibition and cell apoptosis for CN-3 via inactivation of P-Akt and activation of cytochrome C. In conclusion, these findings suggest that CN-3 may be a promising candidate for the development of a therapy of glioma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
