Abstract

Quinoline derivatives have been reported to possess a wide range of pharmaceutical activities. Our group previously synthesized a series of quinoline compounds, in which compound 91b1 showed a significant anticancer effect. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anticancer activity of compound 91b1 in vitro and in vivo, and screen out its regulated target. A series of cancer cell lines and nontumor cell lines were treated with compound 91b1 by MTS cytotoxicity assay and cell-cycle assay. In vivo anticancer activity was evaluated by a xenografted model on nude mice. Target prediction of 91b1 was assessed by microarray assay and confirmed by pancancer analysis. Relative expression of the target gene Lumican was measured by qRT-PCR. 91b1 significantly reduced tumor size in the nude mice xenograft model. Lumican was downregulated after 91b1 treatment. Lumican was proven to increase tumorigenesis in vivo, as well as cancer cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in vitro. The results of this study suggest that the anticancer activity of compound 91b1 probably works through downregulating the gene Lumican.
