Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of Tizanidine on the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of U251, and to explore its mechanism, as well. Methods U251 cells were divided into two groups, one group treated with Tizanidine (20 μmol/L), and the other treated with DMSO as control group. CCK8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation; Transwell assay was performed to detect cell migration and invasion; flow cytometry was adopted to detect cell apoptosis; Western blot was used to detect the expression of PI3K-AKT signaling-related proteins and apoptosis-related proteins. Results The proliferation of U251 cell was inhibited by Tizanidine (P < 0.05); and Tizanidine treatment also inhibited migration and invasion of U251 cell (P < 0.05); Tizanidine induced apoptosis in U251 cell (P < 0.05); Western blot showed that the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly down-regulated (P < 0.05), and the expression of BAX and Active Caspase3 were both significantly up-regulated in Tizanidine-treated U251 cells (P < 0.05), respectively. In addition, Tizanidine significantly inhibited the phosphorylation levels of AKT and mTOR (P < 0.05), and the expression of related downstream proteins (P70s6k and Cyclin D1) were decreased in U251 cells (P < 0.05). Conclusion Tizanidine inhibits proliferation, migration and invasion, induces apoptosis in U251 cell, which may be achieved by inhibiting activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
