OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of protein kinase B inhibitor CCT128930 on the apoptosis and autophagy of human osteosarcoma U2-OS cells. METHODS: U2-OS cells were cultured in vitro, and the apoptosis of U2-OS cell was observed after treated with 0 (blank control, similarly hereinafter), 10 and 20 μmol/L CCT128930 for 24 h. After treated with 0, 5, 10 and 20 μmol/L CCT128930 for 24 h, the protein expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9 and Caspase cutting substrate PARP, the proportion of autophagy-related protein LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ were detected by Western blot method. Plasmid GFP-LC3 transfected U2-OS cells; after treated with 0, 5 and 10 μmol/L CCT128930 for 24 h, immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of GFP-LC3 protein. MTT assay and Western blot assay were used to detect the viability, the expression of Caspase-3 and PARP protein of U2-OS cells after treated with 20 μmol/L chloroquine and CCT128930 alone or combination for 24 h. RESULTS: Compared with blank control, the apoptotic rate of U2-OS cells increased after CCT128930 treatment (P<0.01), and the expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9 and PARP protein increased; the proportion of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the expression of GFP-LC3 protein increased. CCT128930 combined with chloroquine reduced the viability of U2-OS cells, the protein expression of Caspase-3 and PARP. CONCLUSIONS: CCT128930 can induce the apoptosis and autophagy of U2-OS cells. Blocking autophagy can enhance the toxicity of CCT128930 to U2-OS cells.
