Abstract

Aclidinium, a muscarinic antagonist, is generally used to treat the respiratory system diseases whereas it is not clear whether aclidinium has therapeutic effect in ovarian cancer (OC). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of aclidinium on OC and its potential mechanism. CCK-8 was employed to test the potential effect of aclidinium on SKOV3 cell proliferation. Transwell migration and invasion assay was performed to assess the influence of aclidinium on SKOV3 cell metastasis and invasion. Furthermore, flow cytometry apoptotic analysis was used to evaluate the effect of aclidinium on cell apoptosis. Finally, western blotting was applied to determine the changes of key proteins in apoptosis and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway induced by aclidinium. The study showed that aclidinium had antiproliferative activity on SKOV3 cells. Simultaneously, aclidinium could significantly inhibit the number of migrated and invaded SKOV3 cells and markedly increased the SKOV3 cell apoptosis rate. Mechanistically, the expression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway related proteins were significantly inhibited in aclidinium treated SKOV3 cells. Our findings proposed a clue for further OC studies in preclinical and clinical treatment and aclidinium may be useful for the treatment of OC in the future.
