Abstract
Background: Nicotinamide can affect differentiation and proliferation of leukemia cells. This research aimed to explore the regulatory effect of nicotinamide on glycolysis metabolism of leukemia cells and to clarify the associated mechanisms. Material/Methods: HL-60 cells were treated with nicotinamide and divided into 0.1, 1, and 10 mu mol/l groups. HL-60 cells without any administration were assigned as negative control (CT group). Glucolytic activity was evaluated by detecting lactic acid production, and glucose level was measured using glucose consumption assay. Apoptosis of HL-60 was examined using flow cytometry assay, when cells were cultured for 24 h. Expressions of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1 alpha), and hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF2 alpha) were evaluated using a reverse transcription PCR assay and Western blotting assay, respectively. Results: Nicotinamide remarkably decreased lactic acid production and glucose levels in leukemia cells compared with that of the CT group (p<0.05). Nicotinamide significantly induced the apoptosis of HL-60 cells compared to that of the negative control group (p<0.05). Nicotinamide significantly inhibited the SIRT1/PGC-1 alpha/HIF2 alpha signaling pathway mRNAs compared to that of the CT group (p<0.05). Nicotinamide remarkably reduced mitochondrial regulatory factors SIRT1/PGC-1 alpha expression compared to that in the CT group (p<0.05). Nicotinamide obviously downregulated HIF2 alpha compared with that of the CT group (p<0.05). Moreover, all of the above nicotinamideinduced effects, including glycolytic activity, apoptosis, and expression of SIRT1/PGC-1 alpha/HIF2 alpha, were changed in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions: Nicotinamide can inhibit glycolysis of HL-60 cells by inhibiting the mitochondrial regulatory factor SIRT1/PGC-1 alpha and suppressing transcription factor HIF2 alpha.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
