Abstrakt: This study investigated the effects of Agrimoniae Herba-Coptidis Rhizoma(XHC-HL)-medicated serum on the proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis of human colorectal cancer HT29 and HCT116 cells via the autophagy mediated by lysosome-associated membrane protein type 2A(LAMP2A). Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to explore the role of LAMP2A in the development and progression of colorectal cancer. Western blot(WB) was used to detect the expression of LAMP2A protein in colorectal cancer cell lines. Lentiviral transfection was utilized to construct LAMP2A knockdown in HT29 and overexpression in HCT116 colorectal cancer cell models. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(real-time qPCR) was performed to assess transfection efficiency. HT29 and HCT116 cells were treated with different concentrations of XHC-HL-medicated serum. The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay was used to detect cell proliferation and determine the optimal concentration and duration of medicated serum intervention. HT29 cells were divided into a normal control(NC) group, an XHC-HL(medicated serum treatment) group, and an XHC-HL+shLAMP2A(medicated serum treatment+LAMP2A knockdown) group. HCT116 cells were divided into a NC group, an XHC-HL group, and an XHC-HL+LAMP2A(medicated serum treatment+LAMP2A overexpression) group. CCK-8 was used to measure cell viability. Colony formation assay was employed to assess cell proliferation ability. Scratch and Transwell migration assays were conducted to evaluate cell migration ability, and Transwell invasion assay was used to detect cell invasion ability. Flow cytometry was adopted to determine apoptosis rates. WB and real-time qPCR were employed to detect the effect of XHC-HL on the protein and mRNA expression of LAMP2A, heat shock cognate protein 70(HSC70), heat shock protein 90(HSP90), and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH) in colorectal cancer cells. Differential expression analysis revealed that LAMP2A expression was significantly higher in colorectal cancer patients compared to that in normal controls. Survival analysis indicated that the key molecule of chaperone-mediated autophagy(CMA), LAMP2A, was closely associated with colorectal cancer progression. Gene set enrichment analysis showed that patients with high LAMP2A expression significantly upregulated tumor progression-related signaling pathways such as angiogenesis and immune suppression. Immune infiltration analysis found that patients with high LAMP2A expression had fewer CD8 T cell infiltrations in their tumor microenvironment. XHC-HL-medicated serum inhibited the viability of HT29 and HCT116 cells, with the optimal intervention concentration and duration being 20% and 48 hours, respectively. Compared to the NC group, XHC-HL inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HT29 and HCT116 cells, and induced apoptosis. The medicated serum treatment with LAMP2A knockdown further inhibited colorectal cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, and promoted apoptosis, whereas overexpression of LAMP2A reversed the inhibitory effects of the medicated serum on proliferation, migration, and invasion, and reduced apoptosis rates. XHC-HL-medicated serum inhibited CMA by upregulating the protein and mRNA expression of LAMP2A, HSC70, and HSP90 and downregulating substrate protein GAPDH expression via the autophagy mediated by LAMP2A. In conclusion, XHC-HL-medicated serum inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of colorectal cancer cells and induces apoptosis by downregulating the expression of the key CMA molecule LAMP2A and inhibiting CMA activity.
