Aims: Mdivi-1, a selective Drp-1 inhibitor, impedes mitochondrial dynamics and suppresses cancer proliferation and progression. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a very aggressive malignancy which is refractory to chemotherapy. The study investigated the mechanism of the chemosensitizing effect of mdivi-1 in cholangiocarcinoma. Main methods: CCA cells and HEK293 T cells were employed in the study. Cell viability and induction of apoptotic cell death were determined by the MTT and acridine orange-ethidium bromide methods. Cellular glutathione content and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation were assessed using thiol green and 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescin diacetate fluorescent probes, respectively. Mitochondrial transmembrane potential and autophagy were detected by JC-1 dye and autophagy assay. Cell cycle progression was analyzed by flow cytometry. Cell migration was measured using the wound healing assay. Proteins involved in cell proliferation and cell cycle were analyzed by western immunoblotting. Key findings: Mdivi-1 enhanced cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in CCA cells but not in HEK293 T cells. Mdivi-1 enhanced cisplatin induced glutathione redox stress, ROS formation, and loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential. Moreover, mdivi-1 also inhibited autophagic flux and suppressed CCA cell migration. Significance: Mdivi-1 sensitized CCA cells to cytotoxicity of cisplatin in association with increases of oxidative stress and autophagosomes, and induced cell death via the mitochondrial pathway. Disruption of mitochondrial dynamics may be a novel strategy to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy to treat CCA. |
