摘要

Objectives α2-adrenergic receptors are reportedly involved in cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis through regulation of diverse molecules, which implies that it contributes to tumor progression. However, the functional significance of α2-adrenergic receptors in osteosarcoma (OS) is unclear. Tizanidine hydrochloride (THC), an α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, is often used to alleviate symptoms of spasticity. This study investigated the functional implications of THC treatment on human OS cells and the underlying mechanisms of resulting changes. Methods The proliferation of U2 OS cells was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8; the migration and invasion capacities of U2 OS cells were then analyzed by transwell assay. Moreover, apoptosis in U2 OS cells was evaluated by flow cytometry and western blot analyses. Additionally, expression levels of key proteins in the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway were measured. Results THC inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of U2 OS cells, but promoted apoptosis within these cells. Expression levels of p-AKT, p-mTOR, and p-P70S6K were reduced by exposure to THC, suggesting involvement of PI3K/AKT signaling in THC-induced cytotoxicity within OS cells. Conclusions THC may play a novel role in OS cell cytotoxicity, and these findings suggest a potent therapeutic strategy for OS treatment.
