Background: Ovarian cancer leads to severe female mortality among all reproductive cancers. Fisetin, a natural flavonoid, exerts pharmacological characteristics on inhibiting cancer growth from various origins. Although multiple mechanisms involving in regulating cell death, there is still unclear if and how fisetin exhibits anti-cancer effect on ovarian cancer. The presented study aimed to evaluate cell apoptotic and necroptotic processes occurring in ovarian carcinoma (OC) cell lines induced by fisetin
Methods: Cell growth was evaluated by MTT assay in both OC cell lines treated with or without fisetin. Annexin V/Propidium iodide staining followed by flow cytometry were used to characterize fisetin induced cell death. The apoptotic process was suppressed by z-VAD intervention then cell necroptosis was assessed by introducing ZBP1 knockdown OC cell lines coupled with fisetin intervention. The expression of necroptosis-related mediators and migration capability of respective cells were evaluated by western blotting and in vitro cell invasion assay.
Result: Fisetin successfully reduced cell growth on both OC cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. Both apoptosis and necroptosis were induced by fisetin. Suppression on cell apoptotic process failed to enhance proliferation of fisetin treated cells. The induced cell death as well as robust expression of necroptotic markers RIP3 and MLKL were alleviated by knocking down the expression of ZBP1 protein in both OC cell lines.
Conclusion: The present study demonstrated in vitro evidence supporting that both apoptosis and necroptosis were involved in fisetin induced OC cell death, while ZBP1 regulates necroptotic process via RIP3/MLKL pathway.
