摘要
Cordycepin, a nucleoside isolated from Cordyceps sinensis, is an inhibitor of polyadenylation and has an antitumor effect. We used CGTH W-2, a follicular thyroid carcinoma cell line, to study the mechanism of the anticancer effect of cordycepin. Cordycepin decreased cell viability and resulted in apoptosis but not necrosis. Cordycepin increased intracellular calcium levels triggering calpain activation, which led to apoptosis. BAPTA/AM and calpeptin inhibited the cordycepin-induced cleavage of caspase 7 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), implying an upstream role of calcium and calpain. CGTH W-2 cells expressed four subtypes of adenosine receptors (AR), A(1)AR, A(2A)AR, A(2B)AR, and A(3)AR. Specific antagonists to AR subtypes all blocked cordycepin-induced apoptosis to different degrees. Small interfering RNA for A(1)AR and A(3)AR abrogated cordycepin-induced apoptosis. In conclusion, the cordycepin-induced apoptosis of CGTH W-2 cells is mediated by the calcium-calpain-caspase 7-PARP pathway, and ARs are involved in the apoptotic effect of cordycepin.
