Suffruticosol C from peony seeds induces autophagy and cell cycle arrest, possibly regulating cancer cell viability by inhibiting mTORC1 signaling.
Paeonia species are well-known ornamental plants that are used in traditional Chinese medicines. The seeds of these species are rich in stilbenes, which have wide-ranging health-promoting effects. In particular, resveratrol, which is a common stilbene, is widely known for its anticancer properties. Suffruticosol C, which is a trimer of resveratrol, is the most dominant stilbene found in peony seeds. However, it is not clear whether suffruticosol C has cancer regulating properties. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to determine the effect of suffruticosol C against various cancer cell lines. Our findings showed that suffruticosol C induces autophagy and cell cycle arrest instead of cell apoptosis and ferroptosis. Mechanistically, suffruticosol C regulates autophagy and cell cycle via inhibiting the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling. Thus, our findings imply that suffruticosol C regulates cancer cell viability by inducing autophagy and cell cycle arrest via the inhibition of mTORC1 signaling.
