Effect of Eriodictyol on Retinoblastoma via the PI3K/Akt Pathway

Retinoblastoma (RB) is one of the most common intraocular malignancies in children, which causes vision loss and even threatens life. Eriodictyol is a natural flavonoid with strong anticancer activity. Some studies have shown that eriodictyol exerts anticancer effects in glioma, colon cancer, and lu...

Eriodictyol is a natural flavonoid with strong anticancer activity. Some studies have shown that eriodictyol exerts anticancer effects in glioma, colon cancer, and lung cancer; however, no studies have reported the anticancer effects of eriodictyol on RB. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the anticancer activity of eriodictyol against the RB Y79 cell line and its potential mechanism of action. Interestingly, we found that eriodictyol inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of Y79 cells in a dose-dependent manner and decreased the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins in the cells. In addition, eriodictyol-induced apoptosis in Y79 cells was assessed by flow cytometry and immunoblotting.

In conclusion, our study shows that eriodictyol effectively inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion and induces apoptosis in RB cell lines, which may be the result of blocking the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Thus, eriodictyol may provide a new theoretical basis for exploring targeted antitumor natural therapies.Shu WenMeng HuYan XiongHindawi LimitedarticleMedicine (General)R5-920Medical technologyR855-855.5ENJournal of Healthcare Engineering, Vol 2021 (2021)
