Sulindac and its metabolites inhibit invasion of glioblastoma cells via down‐regulation of Akt/PKB and MMP‐2

Abstract: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), sulindac has chemopreventive and anti-tumorigenic properties, however, the molecular mechanism of this inhibitory action has not been clearly defined. The Akt/protein kinase B, serine/threonine kinase is well known as an important mediator of many cell survival signaling pathways. In the present study, we demonstrate that down-regulation of Akt is a major effect of anti-invasiveness property of sulindac and its metabolites in glioblastoma cells. Myristoylated Akt (… Show more

“…6). 20,38 Interestingly, Joy et al demonstrated that migrating glioblastoma cells become more resistant to apoptosis than migration-restricted cells. This suggests that identifying therapeutics that inhibit glioblastoma migration and invasion may be important in sensitizing glioblastoma to apoptosis.…”

“…Other studies demonstrated that celecoxib and sulindac exerted antiangiogenic effects by inhibiting proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells, 86 and by inhibiting activities of other proangiogenic factors, such as matrix metalloprotease 2 and 9, and the early growth response factor Egr-1. [87][88][89] Aspirin, at therapeutic concentrations, was found to inhibit tube formation in a 3-dimensional collagen angiogenesis model, via a COX-independent mechanism, which may contribute to its cancer chemoprotective effects. 90 The question of exactly how statins and NSAIDs work in a synergistic fashion to produce enhanced anticarcinogenic effects is largely unresolved.…”

“…Interestingly, one of the prostaglandin-independent mechanisms of NSAIDs action could be inhibition of the PI3K/PKB/Akt pathway. It has been shown that higher doses of NSAIDs can induce activation of PTEN and other phosphatases [19], or inhibit Akt kinase activity [20,21]. In mammals, three Akt isoforms are expressed, Akt1/PKB, Akt2/PKB, and Akt3/PKB [41].…”
