ABSTRACT
Lung cancer is a highly prevalent and lethal malignancy worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for 85% of cancer-related deaths. In this study, the effects of co-treatment with melatonin and ortho-topolin riboside (oTR) on the cell viability and alteration of metabolites and transcripts were investigated in NSCLC cells using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and next-generation sequencing (NGS). The co-treatment of melatonin and oTR exhibited synergistic effects on the reduction of cell viability and alteration of metabolic and transcriptomic profiles in NSCLC cells. We observed that the co-treatment inhibited glycolytic function and mitochondria respiration, and downregulated glycine, serine and threonine metabolism alongside tyrosine metabolism in NSCLC cells. In the glycine, serine and threonine metabolism pathway, the co-treatment resulted in a significant 8.4-fold reduction in the expression level of the SDS gene, which encodes the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of serine to pyruvate. Moreover, co-treatment decreased the gene expression of TH, DDC, and CYP1A1 in tyrosine metabolism. Additionally, we observed that the co-treatment resulted in a significant 146.9-fold reduction in the expression of the DISC1 gene. The alteration in metabolites and transcript expressions might provide information to explain the cytotoxicity of co-treatment of melatonin and oTR in NSCLC cells. Our study presents insights into the synergistic anticancer effect of the co-treatment of melatonin and oTR, which could be a potential future therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NSCLC patients.
