Methods: Three EC cell lines (EC9706, EC109 and KYSE-150) were purchased and treated with different concentrations of gliotoxin (0, 1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 μM). Colony formation assay to detect the clone formation ability, flow cytometry to detect apoptosis, and Western Blot to detect the levels of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway signaling-related proteins and apoptosis-related proteins in EC cells. Results: The increase in gliotoxin concentration significantly inhibited colony formation of EC9706, EC109, and KYSE-150 cells, which was most obvious at 10 μM and 20 μM. The apoptosis rate of cells treated for 48 hours was higher than that of cells treated for 24 hours under the same concentration of gliotoxin, and the apoptosis rate increased significantly with gliotoxin concentration. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was inhibited by 10 μM and 20 μM gliotoxin, with 20 μM treatment being more pronounced. Conclusion: Gliotoxin can inhibit EC cell proliferation through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, thereby promoting the expression of apoptosis protein in esophageal cancer cells and effectively preventing EC progression.展开更多
