Perifosine induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines by blockade of Akt phosphorylation

Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common solid cancers, representing the third cause of cancer-related death among cirrhotic patients. Treatment of advanced HCC has become a very active area of research. Perifosine, a new synthetic alkylphospholipid Akt inhibitor, has shown anti-tumor activity by inhibition of Akt phosphorylation. In this study, the effect of perifosine on the cell proliferation and apoptosis in hepatoma cells has been investigated. Cell growth inhibition was detected by MTT as… Show more

“…Mechanistically, Perifosine exhibits antitumor activity by preventing Akt translocation to the cell membrane [114] . The drug has demonstrated antitumor effects in neuroblastoma, ovarian cancer, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, medulloblastoma, kidney cancer, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, squamous cell carcinoma, breast cancer, sarcoma, lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and other solid tumors [115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127] . With its success in preclinical models, Perifosine reached phase I and II trials for the treatment of only solid tumors, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, and sarcoma [127][128][129] .…”

“…Perifosine was shown to block AKT translocation to the plasma membrane through interacting its PH domain, and to inhibit AKT phosphorylation [8][9][10]. This novel first-in-class oral AKT inhibitor, alone or in combination with other anti-cancer agents, was tested in multiple tumor cell lines both in vivo and in vitro [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. It was also examined in several clinical studies, showing promising results in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and neuroblastoma [9,10].…”
