Pinostrobin, a flavonoid phytochemical, has been reported to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. In this study, we aimed to investigate the antileukemic effects of pinostrobin and its molecular mechanisms in human AML cells. Our study found that pinostrobin (0-80 μM) significantly reduced the viability of human AML cells, with the pronounced cytotoxic effects observed in MV4-11 > MOLM-13 > HL-60 > U-937 > THP-1 cells. Pinostrobin was found to suppress leukemia cell proliferation, modulate cell cycle progression, promote cell apoptosis, and induce monocytic differentiation in MV4-11 cells. In animal studies, pinostrobin significantly suppressed the growth of leukemia cells in a zebrafish xenograft model. Microarray-based transcriptome analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in pinostrobin-treated cells were strongly associated with enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms related to apoptotic process, cell death, cell differentiation, cell cycle progression, and cell division. Combining DisGeNET and STRING database analysis revealed that pinostrobin upregulates forkhead box 3 (FOXO3), a tumor suppressor in cancer development, and plays an essential role in controlling AML cell viability. Our study demonstrated that pinostrobin increases FOXO3 gene expression and promotes its nuclear translocation, leading to the inhibition of cell growth. Finally, the study found that pinostrobin, when combined with cytarabine, synergistically reduces the viability of AML cells. Our current findings shed light on pinostrobin's mechanisms in inhibiting leukemia cell growth, highlighting its potential as a chemotherapeutic agent or nutraceutical supplement for AML prevention or treatment. |
