BACKGROUND: Tiliroside (TIL) is a flavonoid compound that exists in a variety of edible plants. These dietary plants are widely used as food and medicine to treat various diseases. However, the effect of TIL on pancreatic cancer (PC) and its underlying mechanisms are unclear.
PURPOSE: This study aims to reveal the anti-PC effect of TIL and clarify its mechanism.
METHODS: The inhibitory effects of TIL on PC growth were studied both in vitro and in vivo. Flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, biochemical analyses, RT-qPCR, genetic ablation, and western blotting were employed to evaluate ferroptosis, autophagy, and iron regulation. Additionally, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), biomolecular layer interferometry (BLI), and molecular simulation analysis were combined to identify TIL molecular targets. The clinicopathological significance of Calpain-2 (CAPN2) was determined through immunohistochemistry (IHC) on a PC tissue microarray.
RESULTS: Herein, we showed that TIL was an effective anti-PC drug. CAPN2 was involved in the TIL - induced elevation of the labile iron pool (LIP) in PC cells. TIL directly bound to and inhibited CAPN2 activity, resulting in AKT deactivation and decreased expression of glucose transporters (GLUT1 and GLUT3) in PC cells. Consequently, TIL impaired ATP and NADPH generation, inducing autophagy and ROS production. The accumulation of TIL-induced ROS combined with LIP iron causes the Fenton reaction, leading to lipid peroxidation. Meanwhile, TIL-induced reduction of free iron ions promoted autophagic degradation of ferritin to regulate cellular iron homeostasis, which further exacerbated the death of PC cells by ferroptosis. As an extension of these in vitro findings, our murine xenograft study showed that TIL inhibited the growth of PANC-1 cells. Additionally, we showed that CAPN2 expression levels were related to clinical prognoses in PC patients.
CONCLUSION: We identify TIL as a potent bioactive inhibitor of CAPN2 and an anti-PC candidate of natural origin. These findings also highlight CAPN2 as a potential target for PC treatment.
