Description
HS-173 is a potent PI3Kα inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. HS-173 inhibited the PI3K signaling pathway, and showed anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells. Also, HS-173 induced cell cycle arrest at the G(2)/M phase and apoptosis. In addition, HS-173 decreased the expression HIF-1α and VEGF which play an important role in angiogenesis. This effect was confirmed by the suppression of tube formation and migration assay in vitro. Furthermore, HS-173 diminished blood vessel formation in the Matrigel plug assay in mice. Therefore, HS-173 is considered as a novel drug candidate to treat cancer patients.

In Vitro Activity
In order to evaluate the effect of HS-173 on the cell growth of pancreatic cancer, three cell lines (Panc-1, Miapaca-2 and Aspc-1) were used. When pancreatic cancer cells were treated with various concentrations (0.1-10 μM) of HS-173, it reduced the cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner (Figure 1A). In particular, 1 μM of HS-173 inhibited the cell growth by 40-50% in Miapaca-2 and Aspc-1 cells at 48 h. To further determine the sensitivity of HS-173, clonogenic assay was performed in Miapaca-2 cells for 14 days. In agreement with the MTT assay, HS-173 showed a significant drug response by the inhibition of colony formation in pancreatic cancer cells dose-dependently. Additionally, it was observed that colony formation by HS-173 was less than 50% in Miapaca-2 cells at dose of 1 μM (Figure 1B).

In Vivo Activity
To determine whether HS-173 is involved in tumorigenesis in vivo, xenograft and orthotopic pancreatic tumor models were used in the Balb/c nude mice. HS-173 dramtically reduced tumor volume and weight, compared with the control group in two mouse models (Figure 6A and 6B). Also, HS-173 significantly increased expression of TUNEL, cleaved caspase-3 along with decreased expression of PCNA in tumor tissues (Figure 6C). To further confirm whether or not HS-173 inhibits tumor growth through the regulation of EMT, the expression levels of Ecadherin, Vimentin, ZEB1 along with p-AKT and p-Smad2 were identified. Ecadherin was increased, whereas Vimentin and ZEB1 were downregulated in the HS-173 treated group (Figure 6D and 6E). Furthermore, HS-173 treatment decreased p-AKT and p-Smad2 in tumor tissues. These results demonstrate that HS-173 has potent anti-tumor efficacy by inhibiting EMT via regulation of PI3K/AKT and TGF/Smads pathways.
