Methods: Western blotting assay was used to determine the steady-state levels of endogenous LC3B-II protein and the phosphorylation level of MTOR and its downstream substrates. Fluorescence and confocal microscopy was used to detect the distribution of GFP-LC3B puncta. Results: Compared to the control cells, the steady-state levels of endogenous LC3B-II protein and the distribution of GFP-LC3B puncta were enhanced in the HO-8910 cells treated with various concentration of crocin in a dose-dependent manner. Following treatment of HO-8910 cells with crocin, the phosphorylation level of MTOR and its downstream substrates decreased significantly. Conclusions: Crocin promotes the formation of autophagosome in ovarian cancer HO-8910 cells by inhibiting the MTOR signaling pathway.展开更多
