    Abstract:
    Neohesperidin has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties and exerts extensive therapeutic effects on various cancers. In this study, the osteosarcoma cell lines were exposed to different concentrations of neohesperidin. Cell proliferation and viability were assessed by CCK-8 and colony-formation assays. The role of neohesperidin in cell cycle progression and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry and western blotting. To identify autophagosomes and autolysosomes, we used a tandem GFP-mRFP-LC3B lentiviral construct. In addition, autophagy was evaluated by examining autophagosome formation using transmission electron microscopy. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was detected by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Subsequently, the activation of the ROS/JNK signaling pathway was investigated. Neohesperidin could inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in SJSA and HOS cells. The formation of autophagosomes indicated that autophagy occurred in neohesperidin-treated cells and the apoptotic effect of neohesperidin was significantly increased after the use of autophagy inhibitors. Subsequently, we found that neohesperidin-induced apoptosis and autophagy were related to the increase in ROS generation and were significantly inhibited by GSH. Moreover, neohesperidin induced activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway and inhibition of JNK with SP600125 attenuated neohesperidin-induced apoptosis and autophagy simultaneously. Our data indicated that neohesperidin caused G2/M phase arrest and induced apoptosis and autophagy by activating the ROS/JNK pathway in human osteosarcoma cells, suggesting that neohesperidin is a potential drug candidate for the treatment of osteosarcomas.
