Abstract

The electrospun nanofiber system is correlated with high efficacy of drug delivery. This study aims to investigate the effect of nanofiber-based delivery of evodiamine, an indole alkaloid derived from Rutaceae plants Evodia rutaecarpa (Juss.) Benth, on intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), as well as to explore the molecular mechanisms. An electrospun nanofiber system carrying evodiamine was generated. Compared to evodiamine treatment alone, the nano-evodiamine exhibited more pronounced effects on suppressing proliferation, colony formation, invasiveness, migration, apoptosis resistance, cell cycle progression, and in vivo tumorigenesis of two ICC cell lines (HUCC-T1 and RBE). ICC cells exhibited increased expression of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) while decreased tropomyosin 1 (TPM1). HDAC4 suppressed TPM1 expression by removing H3K9ac modifications from its promoter. Nano-evodiamine reduced HDAC4 protein levels in ICC cells, thus promoting transcription and expression of TPM1. Either overexpression of HDAC4 or downregulation of TPM1 negated the tumor-suppressive effects of nano-evodiamine. Collectively, this study demonstrates that the electrospun nanofiber system enhances the efficiency of evodiamine. Additionally, evodiamine suppresses the malignant properties of ICC cells. The findings may provide fresh insights into the application of electrospun nanofiber system for drug delivery and the effects of evodiamine on tumor suppression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
