Background: Anlotinib, a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has significant anti-cancer effects on breast cancer (BC), lung cancer, colon cancer and ovarian cancer, but its mechanism has not been investigated in BC. Methods: The cell viability and growth of human non-triple negative BC cell line MCF-7 and triple negative BC cell line MDA-MB-231 with the treatment of anlotinib were tested by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and Ki67 staining. The alteration of genes related to apoptosis and autophagy were investigated by quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), western blots and immunocytochemistry (ICC). Cell apoptosis was valued by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. Further, mouse breast tumour cell lines AT-3 cells were subcutaneously injected into C57BL/6 mice, and the effect of anlotinib intragastrically on tumour growth in vivo was examined. Results: We found that anlotinib suppressed the cell viability and depressed Ki67 staining in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Besides, the drug also enhanced cell autophagy and apoptosis of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, which could be rescued by autophagy inhibitors wortmannin (wort) and 3-methyladenine (3-MA), and BECN1 knockdown. Furthermore, Akt/GSK-3α pathway was inactivated by anlotinib treatment, while rescued by wort, 3-MA and silencing of BECN1 in the MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 cells. We also found that anlotinib inhibited implanted tumour growth of BC in syngeneic mice. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that anlotinib inhibited breast cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Anlotinib promoted cell apoptosis and inactivated Akt/GSK-3α pathway of BC cells by inducing cell autophagy. It indicated that anlotinib may be an effective new drug for BC treatment. |
