PG - 5749 LID - 10.1038/srep05749 [doi] LID - 5749 AB - Clioquinol is an anti-microbial drug, and it was recently found to induce cancer cell death. In the present study, clioquinol was found to trigger autophagy by inducing LC3 lipidation and autophagosome formation which was abolished by an autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine. Further study showed clioquinol displayed no effects on PI3KC3 or Beclin 1 expression but downregulated the expression and the enzymatic activity of mammalian target of Rapamycin (mTOR), a critical modulator of autophagy. Moreover, clioquinol inhibited the catalytic activity of the mTOR complex 1, thus suppressing phosphorylation of P70S6K and 4E-BP1, two major proteins associated with autophagy in the mTORC1 signaling pathway. Clioquinol induced leukemia and myeloma cell apoptosis, however, addition of autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine attenuated this kind of cell death. Therefore, this study demonstrated that clioquinol induces autophagy in associated with apoptosis in leukemia and myeloma cells by disrupting mTOR signaling pathway.
