Objective To investigate the mechanism of morin-induced autophagy in non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells based on mTOR/STAT3 signaling axis.Methods A549 cells were divided into blank group and 30,60,90,120 and 150 μg·mL-1 of morin groups.After 24,48 and 72 hours of culture,the cell proliferation activity was detected by CCK-8 method,and the cell inhibition rate was calculated.A549 cells were divided into blank group and 30,90,150 μg·mL-1 morin groups.After 14 days of culture,the cell proliferation was detected by colony formation assay.After 24 hours of culture,the cell proliferation ability was detected by BeyoClickTM EdU-488.Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry;acridine orange staining was used to detect cell autophagy;the formation of autophagosomes was observed by transmission electron microscopy.Western Blot was used to detect the expression levels of apoptosis,autophagy and mTOR/STAT3 signaling axis-related proteins in cells.A549 cells were divided into blank group,blank group + chloroquine(10 μg·mL-1)group,morin(30,150 μg·mL-1)group,morin(30,150 μg·mL-1)+ chloroquine(10 μg·mL-1)group.After 48 hours of intervention,the cell activity was detected by CCK-8 method,and the cell survival rate was calculated.Results Compared with the blank group,the inhibition rate of A549 cells in 60,90,120,150 μ g·mL-1 of morin group was significantly increased after 24 hours of intervention(P＜0.05,P＜0.001).The inhibition rates of A549 cells in 30,60,90,120 and 150 μg·mL-1 of morin groups were significantly increased after 48 and 72 hours of intervention(P＜0.001).The number of A549 cell colonies and the number of green fluorescent proliferation positive cells in the 30,90,150 μg·mL-1 of morin groups were significantly decreased(P＜0.01,P＜0.001),the apoptosis rate was significantly increased(P＜0.01,P＜0.001),and the protein expression level of cleaved-PARP was significantly increased(P＜0.001).The protein expression levels of p-P38/P38 MAPK in A549 cells of 90 and 150 μg·mL-1 of morin groups were significantly increased(P＜0.01,P＜0.001).Different degrees of orange fluorescence appeared in A549 cells of 30,90 and 150 μg·mL-1 of morin groups,and the orange fluorescence of 90 and 150 μg·mL-1 of morin groups was significant.Autophagosomes and autolysosomes appeared in the cytoplasm of A549 cells in 150 μg·mL-1 of morin group,respectively.The protein expression of LC3-Ⅱ in A549 cells of 150 μg·mL-1 of morin group was significantly up-regulated(P＜0.05).The protein expression of Atg16L1-Ⅱ in A549 cells of 90,150 μg·mL-1 of morin group was significantly up-regulated(P＜0.001),and the protein expressions of p-mTOR/mTOR and p-STAT3/STAT3 were significantly down-regulated(P＜0.001).Compared with the morin(150 μg·mL-1)group,the survival rate of A549 cells in the morin(150 μg·mL-1)+chloroquine(10 μg·mL-1)group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Morin can promote the apoptosis of A549 cells and induce autophagy in A549 cells,and the mechanism may be related to mTOR/STAT3 axis.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of manganese sulfate on blood pressure, myocardial ultrastructure and heart organ index of rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty male SPF SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (0 mg/kg), 5 mg/kg dose group, 15 mg/kg dose group and 25 mg/kg dose group, 10 rats each group. Intraperitoneal injection was performed for six months, by five times each week, the rat blood pressure was measured by tail cuff method, and the heart organ index of the rats was computed. Three rats were selected from each group randomly, and the myocardial ultrastructure of the rats was observed by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The BMD and BMDL between manganese sulfate injected dose and the rats heart organ index were evaluated by BMD (Benchmark Dose).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no significant of blood pressure between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05).The heart organ indexes of the four groups were 0.24% ± 0.10%, 0.25% ± 0.02%, 0.26% ± 0.02%, and 0.24% ± 0.02%. Statistical significance of heart organ indexes was found between the 15 mg/kg dose group and the control group (P < 0.05). Observed by TEM, we found that-different degrees of mitochondrial crest fracture or disappear, mitochondria swelling, hydropic change and myocardial fibers degeneration happened in the rats of the three exposed groups, but not the control group. The BMD and BMDL were calculated as 9.33 mg/kg and 4.28 mg/kg in the study of manganese sulfate injected dose and the rats heart organ index.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Chronic manganese poisoning can lead to myocardial mitochondria superfine lesions, myocardial fiber damage and heart organ index change in rats.</p>
