- High doses of selenite have been shown to induce cell death in acute myeloid leukemia and lung cancercells. In this study, we combined selenite treatment with modulators of sphingolipid metabolism in thehepatocellular carcinoma cell line Huh7. Treatment with 20 mM of selenite reduced the viability of Huh7cells by half and increased the levels of long chain C14-, C16-, C18- and C18:1- ceramides by two-fold.Inhibition of neutral sphingomyelinase with 3-O-methylsphingosine significantly reduced the cytotoxiceffect of selenite. In line with this result, selenite caused a 2.5-fold increase in the activity of neutralsphingomyelinase. The sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) inhibitor 2-(p-hydroxyanilino)-4-(p-chlorophe-nyl)thiazole (SK1-II) sensitized the cells to the cytotoxic effects of selenite. Preincubation with 10 mM ofSK1-II prior to treatment with 10 mM of selenite caused induction of apoptosis and gave rise to a 2.5-foldincrease in C14-, C16-, C18- and C18:1- ceramides. Instead, 50 mM of SK1-II combined with 10 mM ofselenite caused accumulation of cells in G1/S phases, but less apoptosis and accumulation of ceramides.The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after treatment with 10 mM of selenite was maximallyenhanced by 1 mM of SK1-II. Moreover, combined treatment with SK1-II and 10 mM of selenitesynergistically reduced the number of viable Huh7 cells, while the non-tumorigenic hepatocyte cell lineMIHA remained unaffected by the same treatment. These results raise the possibility that a combinationof selenite and SK1 inhibitors could be used to treat liver cancer cells, that are regarded as drug resistant,at doses that are non-toxic to normal liver cells.
