摘要: Cyproheptadine, a serotonin antagonist, has recently been reported to function as novel therapeutic agent by inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling in several human cancers. However, the effect of cyproheptadine urothelial carcinoma (UC) never explored. In this study, we determined on growth five UC cell lines and an vivo xenograft model. The results showed that exerted inhibitory proliferation cells both vitro vivo. Cyproheptadine also induced cycle arrest G1 phase, subsequently followed apoptosis necrosis. underlying mechanisms were associated with reduction c-Myc, induction p21 p27, stabilization Rb expression. addition, suppression GSK3β/TSC2/mTOR pathway deregulation GSK3β/β-catenin observed cyproheptadine-treated cells. Furthermore, cyproheptadine-induced was ANGPTL4 expression activation caspase3 PARP Our experimental provide evidence is suitable for treatment UC.
