Abstract EN
Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), an active metabolite and derivative of artemisinin, is the most effective antimalarial drug and has strong antitumor activity in various tumor types.
It has recently been reported that DHA can induce autophagy and has significant effects on multiple myeloma (MM), but the mechanisms and the relationship between the autophagy and apoptosis induced by DHA remain to be elucidated.
Herein, we demonstrated that DHA significantly induces cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner via the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis pathways.
Moreover, DHA-induced autophagy, which plays a prodeath role in MM, can regulate canonical apoptosis and vice versa.
Furthermore, the P38/MAPK signaling pathway is responsible for decreased autophagy and increased apoptosis.
DHA induces autophagy and apoptosis also through the inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
In addition, DHA shows a strong effect in a xenograft mouse model.
Collectively, these findings reveal that DHA, as an artemisinin-based drug, could be an effective and safe therapeutic agent for MM.
