Honokiol inhibits human osteosarcoma MG63 cell migration by upregulating FTO and Smad6 to promote autophagy

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary malignant tumor of bone, most commonly seen in children and adolescents, which has a low survival rate and is a serious threat to patients' lives. Honokiol (HKL) is the main active components of Magnolia officinalis, which have significant anti-...

Description
Summary:Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary malignant tumor of bone, most commonly seen in children and adolescents, which has a low survival rate and is a serious threat to patients' lives. Honokiol (HKL) is the main active components of Magnolia officinalis, which have significant anti-tumor properties. The aim of this study was to observe the autophagic and migratory effects of HKL on MG63 cells and to investigate whether the mechanism of action was related to FTO and Smad6. Methods: Firstly, we cultured MG63 cells in vitro and intervened with different concentrations of HKL to detect cell activity by CCK8, apoptosis by flow cytometry, cell migration ability by scratch assay, cell invasion ability by transwell assay and MMP2, P62, LC3 I/II, FTO and Smad6 protein expression by Western blot. Results: HKL inhibited MG63 cells activity and that this effect was dose and time dependent. Although there was no significant effect on apoptosis and invasive ability, HKL could act through effects such as promoting cell autophagy and inhibiting migration. HKL increased the protein expression levels of FTO, Smad6, MMP2, LC3 I/II and P62, and this effect was reduced after silencing of Smad6. Conclusions: HKL induced autophagy and inhibited cell migration in MG63 cells by increasing the expression of FTP and Smad6. It can be seen that HKL may be a promising drug for the treatment of OS.
