Abstract

Ophiopogonin B (OP‑B) is extensively applied as a treatment for pulmonary disease and is reported to suppress lung cancer. However, further study is needed to determine whether OP‑B suppresses gastric cancer (GC). The mRNA levels of prostaglandin‑endoperoxide synthase 2 (Ptgs2) and ChaC glutathione‑specific gamma‑glutamylcyclotransferase 1 (Chac1) were determined using quantitative PCR. Ptgs2 and Chac1 mRNA levels were significantly increased in GC cancer tissues compared with those of adjacent normal controls. The CCK‑8 assay revealed that OP‑B suppressed GC cell viability in a time‑ and dose‑dependent manner. The administration of OP‑B in combination with different cell death inhibitors showed that only the ferroptosis inhibitor, ferrostatin‑1 (Fer‑1), abolished the OP‑B‑induced death of both AGS and NCI‑N87 cells, but not other inhibitors. Western blot analysis indicated that OP‑B reduced the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11, xCT) but had no effects on the expression of nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4) and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) in AGS and NCI‑N87 cells. In vivo administration of OP‑B reduced the volume and weight of AGS tumors. In addition, the expression of GPX4 and xCT was reduced in nude mice treated with OP‑B compared with control mice. In summary, results of the present study suggest that OP‑B induces ferroptosis in gastric cancer cells by blocking the GPX4/xCT system.
