概要

Skeletal muscle wasting is the most remarkable phenotypic feature of cancer cachexia that increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Imperatorin (IMP), a main bioactive component of Angelica dahurica Radix, has been reported to possess several pharmacological effects including potential anti-colitis, anti-arthritis and anti-tumor activities. In this work, we demonstrated that IMP is a promising agent for the treatment of muscle wasting in cancer cachexia. IMP (5-20 μM) dose-dependently attenuated TCM-induced C2C12 myotube atrophy and prevented the induction of E3 ubiquitin ligases muscle RING-finger containing protein-1 (MuRF1) and muscle atrophy Fbox protein (Atrogin-1/MAFbx). Moreove, IMP administration significantly improved chief features of cancer cachexia in vivo, with significant prevention of the loss of body weight and deleterious wasting of multiple tissues, including skeletal muscle, fat and kidney and decreased expression of MuRF1 and Atrogin-1 in cachectic muscles. Cellular signaling pathway analysis showed that IMP selectively inhibited the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in vitro and in vivo, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) affinity experiments further demonstrated IMP bound to STAT3 in a concentration-dependent resonance manner. Molecular docking results revealed that IMP binds to the SH2 domain of STAT3, forming a hydrogen bond interaction with Arg-609, and a Sigma-Pi interaction with Lys-591. Mechanism analysis demonstrated that STAT3 overexpression markedly weakens the improvements of IMP on myotube atrophy and muscle wasting of cancer cachexia, indicating that STAT3 mediated the therapeutic effect of IMP. All these favorable results indicated that IMP is a new potential therapeutic candidate for cancer cachexia.
